Mr. Marrionette the Harlequin

Description

Definitions for the piece:
Marrionette: A jointed puppet manipulated from above by strings or wires attached to its limbs.
Harlequin: A conventional buffoon of the commedia dell'arte, traditionally presented in a mask and parti-colored tights.

I was trying to come up with a character pic for human "sloth", an actor (or maybe a puppetmaster, needs discussing). I tried to make his clothes flashy and showy, but wound up like that. Decided it looked like a Harlequin and ran with it. The puppet string in his left hand were an afterthought, and wound up looking like he cut his own strings (hence the name).

This is the closest i've come to coloring anime style in a while, but not a bad job. I'm gonna see if i can gather the materials to build an actual Mr. Marrionette to take to cons!!!! i think that'd be pretty cool :D
