Description Kudos to whoever can identify the computer component I used as a temporary base!

I'm kind've shocked how fast this one took, roughly 20ish hours overall. These sculptures go a lot faster when I just do a simple pose, and don't focus on props or a base, heh.

Anyway, this is Swagger; Swindle's baby brother. Haven't sculpted a new OC in ages, and he's become a big part of Swindle's backstory. He's a much more military-oriented character. Overall, Swindle's grooming him and pulling strings behind the scenes to make him a powerful leader someday. That way, Swindle can have a high-ranking military officer around who's completely loyal to him.

But for now, he's just a kid who's trying to cope with his big brother's schemes.


Real name: Teyeniku Karstavvo
Nickname(s): Swagger, or Swags.
Species: Israeli desert scorpion a.k.a. Deathstalker scorpion.
Age: 10
Height: 2'3" (About Charmy's size)
Weight: 25 lbs
Occupation: Commander-in-training of the Olive Ops (His world's version of "Black Ops").
Alignment: Good.

Abilities/Strengths: Very talented pilot, and a decent mechanic. He's a lot more skilled with his stinger than Swindle, and he's highly agile and acrobatic, making him much deadlier in close combat. He has a keen knack for survival, and has shown an aptitude for unconventional tactics.

Weaknesses: Low self-confidence. physically small and not very strong. Can't swim, so he has a significant fear of water.

Family:
Jenzon Karstavo (Swindle the Scorpion): Older brother.
Ganzu Karstavo (Gamble the Scorpion): Father.
Sharavi Vedroxo (Javelin the Wasp): Adoptive Mother.
Viko Kor'myl (Caramel the Bat): His best friend; not actually family.

Personality: Like most scorpions, especially those in his family, Swagger is a compulsive deceiver. Unlike his brother, however, this is usually limited to practical jokes and pranks. Swagger is highly light-hearted and friendly on the outside. In stark contrast to his brother, Swagger is naΓ―ve and quick to trust strangers.

Deep down, Swagger is extremely fearful and lacks confidence in his own abilities, owing mostly to his brother constantly putting him in situations and positions of power that are way over his head. But he copes as best as he can, and doesn't run from danger for fear of disappointing Swindle or his comrades. After all, being in a position of power at his age means he has a lot to prove. Though normally calm and friendly, he's prone to violent outbursts when people bring up his age demeaningly, or validate his own lack of confidence by questioning his authority.

Oh hey! Sorry, I haven't been on dA for a while xD

Thanks for the interest! I really like your FCs. I just haven't been sculpting much lately, aside from one project I still gotta get done. So I can't accept any trades/commissions at the moment, sorry!

For a second there I thought that he would be related to Swindle. Turns out I was right after all XD. I will say that is is quite a cutie, I can see him becoming a great military leader as he grows older.

Very awesome! He turned out pretty well. I like his personality and how he is secretly fearful and lacks confidence in himself. It goes well with how he is treated by his older brother.Β 
I also love the design of his outfit, fits well with the idea of being in the army.Β 
Overall he is a very well done character.Β

Much obliged! Definitely designed him to be a character that's still developing.

More or less, turns out I didn't need it. I'll find a permanent use for it, someday.

Separate tower cooling unit, never had enough room to fit it in my computer so it's just hanging around for the moment.

I dunno, that heatsink is lookin' pretty neat as a base~ But then again I'm sure you're putting one that clean to actual use lol.
