Simon Boardman

Just a few things I've had haunting my computer whilst I haven't had the internet to upload such things.

This is Simon Boardman, a Reaper-in-Training in my new story, 21st Century Death - he drew the short straw and got apprenticed to the biggest grump ever (Robert Mort). He was hoping to be apprenticed to Leo(nard) Pendlebury but that didn't work out. He's been a reaper for about 2 years.

I think his face got a little messed up in the inking stage, though some of the 'mess' around the eyes is intentional. As a design point the reapers eyes give them away as of being older, which is why a majority of them wear glasses to distract the from eyes.

Simon's physical appearance is quite similar to Leo's because Leo was a father figure to him in his first few months of reaperhood; Simon kind of recreated his image a little to match him. He was very confused in his death - suicide reaper's often are often the most troubled, since living after death isn't a planned part of the process.
