No, Great Britain is the name of the largest Island in the British Isles. It is not the name of a country. That is why "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is the name. England includes other Islands, like Lindisfarne, as its territory. Scotland includes many islands such as Skye, Orkney, Shetland, Lewis, Harris as part of its territory and Wales includes Anglesey, but they are not part of Great Britain...

I could go on, but I sense you are asleep...

Ooh, your artwork's improving! Nice work!

The shading looks a bit weird where the jacket meets the undershirt, though. And he needs chest hair. And I liked the name Spencer better.

Thanks. Yeah, this new art's much better than that lifeless, stale stuff I had produced before. So now I've got to redo everything, but the end result is worth it.

And the name's still totally up in the air. I might just scrap his first name altogether if I can't decide, or give him two middle names. And I'm not exactly sure where I'd put the chest hair, unless it's extremely stiff chest hair, and it's poking through his undershirt.

That would be United States Coast Guard Intelligence agent Jack/Spencer/Biff Northton, the protagonist of my upcoming amateur adventure game.

And no, I didn't make that organization up. There actually is a Coast Guard Intelligence agency.

Come to think of it, your current iteration looks more like a Biff to me.

Too bad the other, better pic doesn't show up.

(Edit): But hey, this looks like me as a kid. Except, you know... You know.

I didn't have bling back then.

God, these pics are so tacky.
