Pure

What even are titles pff

This is an entry for impalae's and Kipine's competition. I decided to do a traditional thing instead of a digital work because my motivation for digital stuff has been a round 0 lately. I did this by burning the picture on wood and then added some colors digitally. Click here to see the colorless version!. 

The character in the picture is Härmä. Härmä is a very, very dear character of mine. He's not the one that I have RP'd with the most and definitely not my oldest char either, but even so he has a very special place in my heart. Härmä is definitely the character that I enjoyed RPing the most because of his unique nature. He's a total wuss and a crybaby, but still has an extremely golden heart and he wouldn't want to hurt a fly. Playing with a character like this was completely different from what I had played before and I enjoyed every minute of it. RPing Härmä was refreshing, relaxing and simply a good way to forget my worries for a while. This character is the one that made me describe the movements, gestures and thoughts of my characters while playing. I think that Härmä is the key behind my progress as a writer and he was even the first one to draw out my inner sadist when playing (not sure if that was good or bad, anygays poor poor Härmä). Härmä was also one of the first characters that I actually started to develop during RPs. Sure, he didn't become brave or get rid of his arachnophobia during his short RP-life, but I pushed him into all sorts of events and twists that I wouldn't have in the past due to the risks they involved (I was a wuss who didn't want to get her virtual characters killed). 

Härmä used to live in a finnish RPG called Loppu, but sadly the game was shut down. After that I haven't found a suitable new home for him, but that hasn't diminished his importance to me.
