This is new concept art for this character I came up with named Joe, and he has a really cool backstory that I won't bother typing so you guys have no clue what the hell I'm talking about when I describe his traits, losing your attention in an instant unless the drawing itself has pretty little details that make the eye have to look at it longer to absorb everything, but still maintains the value of a McDonalds Happy Meal minus the toy so it's really just worthless anywho.

It's something I've done a lot in the past, but I've finally come to the conclusion that nobody, and I mean NOBODY... gives two craps about concept art of some guy standing there. If the viewer doesn't know the full story, they'll lose interest. If the person in the drawing is just standing there, they'll lose interest. If the character in the drawing is doing something that catches the eye of the viewer such as peeing off a cliff onto a hippo while in knight's armor with his retarded brother behind him taking a hit of heroin, then people will get curious and wonder what the big story is and come to you for it without you having to force feed it to them through crappy text nobody cares about reading in the first place!

Another words, if you're going to draw a new character and you want to introduce them to your audience, do us a favour and make it worth looking at. We don't care about some dude standing there. It's uninteresting and very self serving, only appealing to the person who drew it.

I know I'll be stopping. That's a fact! You should too! (And stop flooding my Inbox of crappy pictures of people just standing there!!)

I mean, for the love of something that probably loves a lot, people have this thing, it's really cool and special, and every person has it. It's called "Human interaction". Adding a tree behind a character just standing there won't make it interesting either. Why not put the extra effort into making like... your new dude actually showing off his hardcoreness or smartness against someone else?
