Description
LINK TO DECEMBERSVILLE STORY --> [link]Here is an incomplete, exaggerated drawing of the meeting between Sophia and the Emcee Razz Matazz in the foggy woods.
I was told to put side-by-side characters that were ever inspired by others. The Emcee was perfectly inspired during my writing of chapter 19 and this is what I wrote.
The Emcee Razz Matazz
Inspired by the tale of Pinocchio, the Emcee became an allusion of the cruel Italian puppet master Stromboli who used and threatened actors into his puppet show; and the cunning kidnapper Foulfellow who lured children away by offering them stardom and theatrical fame.
A roach-like appearance makes him appear deceitful and slimy; Sophia is well aware of this and gets both nervous and curious.
His true name, "Razz Matazz", is a play on his "star diva" personality as well as his snazzy appearance, drenched in yellow and blue which contrasts him with the grayish world he lives in.
He speaks in a stereotyped Italian accent that is usually taken over the top.
I swear I can see this guy singing "An actor's life for me".

Heheheheheh~ This is just an exaggerated picture of him drawn in a different style. XD He looks a tad less menacing and different than this.

I just adore drawing Razz because he is just so much fun to doodle. XD He and his silver hair and make-up and specs and weird teeth and-- I just love his design. ^^ And there is actually a lot behind this character than what Decembersville expresses; D-ville just shows him off as a creepy villain. But he's got a story of his own that fully fleshes out his personality. XD

This dude honestly came out of nowhere in the chapter he was introduced in because I need to continue the plot and have Sophia go up against a new character, so then he popped up. XD But then after that chapter I made him pay an allusion to the story of Pinocchio; the evil Italian pupper-master Stromboli who whisked children away with the promise of showbiz and spectacles but in truth he threatened them into it. ^^

Hmm... not really. ^^ 
I LOVE HIM. XD

..yeah

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why don't I!? ^^ It's just that most of the drawings I did of him I have not scanned because they are a bit... half-@$$ed. XD Like, they are not colored or shaded and they are just of the Emcee with no backgrounds or anything. ^^

Sometimes I forget how Sophia's hat goes, so I kind of half-assed it from memory in here.
Yeah. T_T I am still terribly surprised about how many people are still like "I wanna hug him!" about that guy. O_O He was a jackass!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD tis ok! and no problem!
I still think he's a jackass, but no one deserved that. o_o""
plus Cheshira. 8<
And I think some people just like jackasses.

That's true. He may have kidnapped people and acted like a total sleazeball, but even he did not deserve a big stab to the gut.

Eeeeh... I can imagine the Emcee getting alot of hugs after that. He's gonna be a very happy ghostie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most definitely.

Ahaa... that's fantastic though, it makes him more real! People aren't born evil, after all. :3
Also, very interesting thing is that you didn't choose one of the main villains, but someone Sophia meets in the story. It shows that just because some characters play a minor role in one story, doesn't mean they don't have one!
XD Mood-swinging Emcee.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most definitely! ^^
Nobody wants to know the full story of the main villains. They already know what they have to know and they have seen what they had to see. What about the minor characters? For all you know their stories are BEYOND what could ever be expected.
True, the Emcee is in fact a major mood-swinger. 
Seriously. He gets bitter, pissed, and totally INSANE when he doesn't get his morning coffee (because he is not a morning person for he usually stays up for about 5 days straight). And don't diss him. He'll curse at you in Italian. -_-;

Indeed! Even minor characters have great stories to tell! owo
O___o oh boy... Well, I see that both the Emcee and have alot in common. *shot*

Is he one of the tallest freaks there?
Great picture, i think most would cower seeing the giant tower of Razz 8D

And hell, are you PSYCHIC? I was just sitting and thinking that I was going to see Pinocchio tomorrow. oo"

Ohh, Intressting style for drawing this dear. *snuggles* It's very cool looking.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I now see the likeness between the Pinocchio characters and this guy!
Only with this twist, of what kind of person he is and how... Fun he otherwise seems to be
Fantastic comparison, I must say.
