very nice, i like the way you created his outfit.  where are his boots/shoes from?  is his hair orange or brown?
kaethe

his hair is orange but it looks darker b/c of the bad lighting (I think there's two types of red hair pieces, I'm going to switch the current one for a lighter one, which suits the colors of his clothes better)

the whole outfit comes from totally different sets:

He still needs a name though, any suggestions?
I vote for David. (¿Why? Because I like the name David.)
I want to know HOW (I always want to know how). In this case, the only mystery is “blue.”

EDIT: Oh. Nevermind.

One of my character's name who wears blue is called Luino, sometimes ... Luin is "blue" in Tolkienish elvish ... You could make his name from Latin Caeruleus (variation would be Ceruleus) is blue (of sky (caelum, caeli), but I like the root of the word "goblin"/"kobolt" from cobalt (cobaltus, gobel(t), gobelinus (hence "goblin"))

Why not calling him simply Cobalt?

Anyway, here are some ideas ... ;)

I didn't realise the hat was from the 3666 set.

Yes, I like cobalt too. It sounds old-fashioned and authentic, yet it is a reference everyone will understand!

thanks for the nice feedback, everyone :)

Gustavo, I like Cobalt or Cereleus - I too like Luin, but it kind of sounds like Luis :hmm: :P
