Dragon Master

Lalalalalance.

"On the outside Lance is sort of a "Save the Gyarados!" eco-activist in a cape, but deep down inside he's a mean, smug bastard who Hyper Beams' the shit out of people.
Also he's real tight bros with his Dragonite. They ride around town, buy new capes and pick up chicks and stuff."

--Ver on Elite Four Champion Lance

Now that I'm playing SS I got to reminiscing about the times I played G/S/C and remembered that I used to really like this guy back then.
I thought he was pretty cool despite him being a dude in a jumpsuit and cape. Actually it's quite admirable that he could pull that look off.

So now I'm paying a tribute to those ol' times.
I took his HH/SS design though, because the military-uniform thing is definitely working better than THE GODDAMN JUMPSUIT (AND CAPE SRSLY WTH MAN).

As to the picture... I have no idea what he's doing. Maybe he's goofing off in front of a mirror, testing poses he'll flash aspiring champions with, idko. It sort of looks like he's trying to do a magic trick but forgot cards.
But now that I think of it, in his sprites he's always pulling off some weird poses with a lot of flailing around with at least one of his hands.
Alsoooo I drew him being SRS because, well, most fanarts depict him as being a sort of smiling idiot, but in the game he's super serious/irritated ALL THE TIME. >8|

I have no idea how old Lance is supposed to be, so I drew him as some sorta' young adult. Anyone know his exact age? @_@ 'Cause on the original artwork(s) it's hard to pin down.

_{I still haven't challenged the E4 in the game - right now I'm trying to figure out how the hell to beat Bitchface Clair.
I'm also wondering how much problems I'm gonna' have with Lance if I've unsuccessfully battled Bitchface like 10 times already. Damn them Dragons being immune to, like, everything I throw at them.}


ALSO, QUESTION GUYS!
If I were to draw a Johto/Kanto region Gym Leader in a similar style to Lance here, which would you like to see most?
