Painting- The Tattooed Sorcerer

-Update- Change his left foot a bit so it isn't as broken. No he has extra long finger toes.

Azar, the tattooed sorcerer. He works his magic through the tattos that cover his body. He's the kind of guy that's completely enamored with himself. Not much of a hero material, but he knows his way around the battlefield... and into strangers' beds! Done mostly on SAI, used photoshop for BG.
