This is definitely a character I think people will recognize if they've followed me or my art for a while.

I couldn't bear to make too many changes to this dude's design... I'm sorry, he's one of the oldest of these characters and his design, while a bit simple for my taste and dated in terms of my abilities as a character designer, he's just too iconic to change.

The only thing I wound up changing was getting rid of his arm spikes and his perpetual black-eye... which I didn't like much so- bye bye!

The dude's character, on the other hand, has been changed entirely.

Where he used to just be a mindless bully with divorce issues.... Percy is now a former city guardsman who studied healing magic under a master paladin, and ended up becoming one himself. He now dedicates his time to cleansing others of the effects of corruption and healing those in need. He's a great warrior and a decent healer, so he's often kept busy... which means that he often returns home sore and tired. He struggles to eat due to how busy he is (and then because he usually sleeps the moment he comes home) so it's probably good that he ended up marrying a good cook that dotes on him all the time.
