Description
Say hello to Cornelius Kitchener. Big game hunter, slightly alcoholic and a firm believer in the notion that shouting "Tally-ho!" actually increases one's chances of victory. Something of a South African Don Quixote, he has been known to fire at windpumps, mistaking them for giant lions...He is on a quest to find the elusive Grootslang and bag it as a trophy for his trophy room. Little does he know that the Grootslang is on a mission to not actually exist...
While painting this I almost choked on coffee and ended up clearing my windpipe onto the paper... LOL!

He looks like the kinda guy who would have just the most insane stuff in the attic of his house. Blowdart collections, animal skulls, etc...

And african masks and not to mention more Tiki heads than there is in all if Polynesia combined. And rumor has it that his most prized trophy is a specimen so rare it was thought never to have existed... a relaxed engineering student XP

I gave up on that dream long ago
But yes, constraining values by adding more variables is always good practice! ^^

Well... someone or something in you seems to realize that this old fella is up to no good
To the drawing..... Well, he sure is decked up for a safari trip, just watch out for the buffaloes!

What, psh, noooo.... he's just innocently creating work for wildlife conservationists XP
Thank ye! And watch out for the buffaloes indeed... wouldn't want to waste our bullets by accidentally shooting one

Of course, he doesn't look the "warrior/soldier" kind... but I can't but imagine that "tally ho, lads!" is the last thing most people would hear before being nailed by a powder shot.

Damn right he doesn't look the part XD I went for a kind of "tottering old fool" kind of vibe here, so I'm glad it came across! And indeed, his British expostulations were the last thing quite a few people heard, but he was rarely aiming at them when he fired XP

Hence in "rarely" XP

Oh no, an aardvark! XD One of the ugliest mammals on Earth!

That's... a very good analogy actually XD
One can really see how they got their name, since it means "earth pig"

Yes, I was definitely going for that "safari hunter" kind of vibe here and I did have that hunter in the back of my mind while drawing this
