Well well well.

With the release of 'Rise of the Ogre' a few of my hopes and dreams for the book were answered but one wasn't. And that was a picture of Hannibal Niccals, Murdocs brother.

I'd read about him in an interview where Murdoc recalls his older brother Hannibal beating him up. He also mentioned that he was a guy who was into punk music.

So I ended up designing a Hannibal.. Something I was shying away from since the book was comeing out.. I'd hate to make one then it be totally wrong. XD

It was a little stereotypical to put him in a mohawk, but it was a little too tempting to pass by.. Besides, he's got hair on one side of his head a bit. XD

Anyway, the one in red is the very fisrt rough draft sketch I did, the bottom half of his face a little different..
I'd imagine he'd have a nose kinda like Jacob. :3

Lord I'm a dork. Anyway, I hope this is somewhat entertaining.

Ha ha, also, the middle colored one.. Well I was trying out my coloring in Painter 7 again with a sketch and was pretty pleased.
