Raul, Take 2

I had originally designed Raul as a generic blond twink. The Men of Weare were formulaic fantasy bigot humans and I went for the easy aryan look for them, but this faces a couple of problems. First its kind of trite and second it means I have a blond haired white boy as a major character in a series about racial diversity.

So I was thinking, what if I changed his look a bit? I just fiddled with the colour values, just to see. I still might make him blond, maybe he can bleach his hair later.

Jungle Boy Venus

"He answered to the name Venus.  It seemed that the name of the planet on which he was marooned was the only word of English that he knew.   How he got to that faraway jungle, I shall probably never know.  He took to our devices and gadgets with great relish but I never did convince him of the merits of a pair of breeches."
