Herman sketches
Herman sketches by @Trezce (Lev)

Censorship because of the gun mostly 👀

I think Side 7 is a good place to post these sort of content too, besides Artfol. 

Curiously, some nights ago I dreamed I drew these sketches featuring this character, so I basically made a dream come true, lol. 

Featuring my original character Herman, a man who seems calmed, polite, smart and kind at first glance, but who in reality struggles to control his emotions, especially when it comes to frustration, anger or sadness. He can have some degree of control in public or with people he's not close with, but when it comes to the intimacy of his home, people he feels close with (like the lady he's yelling at in one of the bottom sketches) or, some times, people he has no respect to, he lets his emotions explode violently and take it on whoever is near. Later, when he calms down and return to his senses, he goes and apologizes to said person he took his frustration to, some times even crying and later acts like nothing happened.

People around him, particularly his family, act like this behavior is normal due both his own parents acting in a similar way with each other while he grew up and also because he's a traumatized war veteran.  (And other issues he has besides that) 

He needs help, he knows he's not all right, but he's too proud to get it and prefers to think he can handle it on his own. What could go wrong?

Does seem to be a realistic mindset for someone with that kind of instability. Where does the gun come in?

@fragmented_imagination: thank you for your feedback!

The gun was just a test for certain possible situations I'm still exploring:   

He uses it as a form of manipulation, especially when it comes to the girl pictured in the bottom drawing (who happens to be his romantic interest through the story and the actual main character) as he threatens to shoot himself if she doesn't do as he says as the girl happens to be a very sympathetic person and she has tried to stay away from him, but is to afraid of the idea of being the main cause of him harming himself. 

He also uses it to deal with people who get hostile to him as he carries the loaded gun with him at all times and he doesn't hesitate to use it.

@Camazotz: awww, otra vez eres muy amable, muchas gracias! pensar que este personaje ya se acerca a los 20 años de que lo diseñé, jeje. Honestamente ha pasado por mucho cambio, antes era mas sereno y melancólico, pero con los años fue cambiando su carácter. 

Muchas gracias por el apoyo ^^
