Louis de Pointe du Lac! Wanted to draw something similar in feel to the Armand picture I did recently. The two are vaguely in line with the Seven Deadly Sins with Louis representing Sloth (which is where ‘sadness’ also falls).
I don’t see Louis as a sad-sack, I think he represents being stagnant either because of grief, powerlessness, whatever the case.
