Marlowe Has A Torch Sword (Sketch)

EDIT: Added "Sketch" to the pic title as there's a color / "final" version now.

Oh Marlowe, you had one job!

...well, to be fair, it's not entirely his fault. How was he supposed to know the fire that came from his torch could take on different forms?

This was actually supposed to simply be a sketch of me practicing with shading (which was hard to get right, as I was trying to figure out when the reflecting light should end and where the shadows should begin) with another retooled design for Marlowe (we'll get to that in a bit), but I decided to add the statue and stands to inject a bit of humor to it. Maybe I'll polish it up with color and proper outlines someday. I dunno.

As for the retooled design, it's not too much. Marlowe has a tunic, gloves, and a belt again, but he still wears the shirt with the rolled-up sleeves under it. Added some stitches to the tunic too. Also, the length of his boots has been extended to above the knee / around his thighs...this doesn't mean he has no pants, though. While not shown, he has (modesty :v) shorts under his tunic. I did these changes to have his attire look more old fashioned, yet still look a bit unusual compared to similar designs.
