#will throw you off a roller coaster

Simon Fairchild

After drawing Peter Lukas, I wondered about Simon. I really enjoy his appearances in the series but he certainly is one of the characters that didn’t immediately evoked a face in my head. But when wrecking actively my brain about it, he suddenly was there: a dapper, old man who seem very friendly and likeable, if a bit aloof, but also who wouldn’t mind pushing you off a cliff just for fun. I am rather happy with the idea of the blue tinted glasses.

Image description: [portrait of Simon Fairchild, as a thin, old, white man. He wears a brown and grew woollen jacket, a white felt fedora hat, a white scarf. The background is a bright cerulean blue bleeding into a darker but equally saturated cobalt towards the top. It is reminiscent of the bluest and deepest of skies. Simon strokes his small goatee, while he smiles fondly and a bit creepily at the viewer. His eyes taxing you over the rims of his blue tinted glasses. His irises are dark but their pupils are filled with the bright blue glow of the sky in the background.]
