"If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid."

Strelka is another of our STALKER RP characters. A long-time veteran of the Zone, Strelka's origins are a mystery. His quiet demeanor and heavily scarred face makes him look much older than he really is.

He frequently appears at the Dome as a mercenary and is a good source of information on unusual happenings as well as mutant hunting tactics for other stalkers. He appears to be a good friend of Black, the Dome's resident profiteer, who occasionally employs Strelka for his expertise. The Military Stalker, Voron, also seems to know Strelka.

When not at the Dome, Strelka keeps to himself. He dislikes having company and having to work with others. He usually frequents the Red Forest. The reason for this is unknown.

Strelka wears a Kevlar-lined trenchcoat over a bush jacket. It provides limited protection against firearms and most anomalies, but has excellent insulation and allows him to move quickly and relatively silently as well as disappear into the environment. A steel wire mesh has been installed into the hood of his trenchcoat, making him resistant to sudden psychic emissions.

Wherever he goes, Strelka always appears with a customized Dragunov rifle that he uses with deadly precision. It was with that very same rifle which let him earn his nickname. Though professionally a sniper, he is experienced enough to never neglect close range firepower. A sawn-off shotgun tucked into a bandolier within easy reach takes care of that.

***

Portrait practice. Done in my sketchpad with a No. 1 Mongol pencil and took around two or so hours.

Original scan was raepd by a combination of the low quality paper and annoying scanner. Cleaned up a bit in Photoshop CS5.
