Lawrence ♡♡♡

I was trying to colour somewhat differently from usual also looking at more reference pics for the shading ... (The bag is a Ralph Lauren... I have the same in black. matching bags.<:^3)
Larron took a selfie on the toilet... 
Kinda out of character tbh .. Lawrence got Larry's snapchat in the morning when he was on his way to work. Law's more or less happy about it... (it was an excuse to draw angry Law, but tbh he's more likely to ignore it... but  I wanted t o draw him angry.aha.) (Law doesn't swear or say bad words uvu ) That's more like the kind of reaction Larron wish Lawrence had when he sent the bathroom selfie...

Also, I tried answering some questions from the-right-writing blog on tumblr  ... I answered the questions for Lawrence . I tried explaining his character in writing, but I'm not very good at writing. 

I first wrote it in French then translated it to English. My writing is messy, sorry. I thought it might be interesting to put on my blog.

Lawrence may look fun and cute, but he truly is a dishonest person and is sorta trashy. Hopefully you will appreciate him after reading. ha ha.

Warning! Some things might not really work idk or I might contradict myself (hopefully not!!).. If you're still interested, check read more. :)
Questions from http://the-right-writing.tumblr.com/post/86914944480/
  • What would completely break your character?
Not sure it would break him completely… If the only person he truly cares about, his brother, were to leave him, it would be a big shock. He loves his brother more than anyone, he needs Cain.
  • What was the best thing in your character’s life?
His success? Hahaha… No idea… Sorry, Law…
  • What was the worst thing in your character’s life?
Although he ended up enjoying himself, I think his childhood was difficult because of the pressure from his surroundings. When he’d get involved in fights, it would help him leave his life. It would help him forget the pressure. At the same time, he ended up accepting what others expected from him and he used it to his advantage. At young age, though, it was difficult for him. So we could say everyone’s expectations were the worst thing for him… But, as an adult, he doesn't care about it anymore, he got over it.
  • What seemingly insignificant memories stuck with your character?
That’s a difficult question… Law has a very good memory. (Although he often acts as if he’d easily forget things, he does not, but he might have preferred if he did…) He remembers every single person with whom he fought when he was younger. He’d always win, didn’t really care about them, but because they helped him escape his reality and they helped him enjoy himself, he remembers them. He also remembers every single thing his little brother said. He can quote his brother, might be a little obsessed.
  • Does your character work so that they can support their hobbies or use their hobbies as a way of filling up the time they aren’t working?
It is definitively the second alternative. Lawrence developed his “hobbies” because he was bored. To fill his free time, so he’d always have something to do. Boredom is one of Law’s worst enemies. When he’s not working, he’s doing searches for his work or he takes care of his other “business”. From a fortunate family, Law isn’t someone in need for money; he doesn’t need to work to finance his “hobbies”.
  • What is your character reluctant to tell people?
Lawrence does not talk much about his true feelings. None knows what he truly thinks. He rarely even talk about them with Cain that he loves so much. He doesn’t want people to know how he feels, he doesn’t want people to know about his weaknesses.
  • How does your character feel about sex?
He doesn’t dislike it…  He doesn’t view sex as a taboo subject, but he doesn’t necessarily talk about it openly with everyone. It depends on the situation and with whom. It always depends on his “character”… He likes, doing love… … …
  • How many friends does your character have?
Law doesn’t have a lot of real friends. He mostly has acquaintances. From other’s view, he might have a lot of friend, but not from his point of view.
  • How many friends does your character want?
Lawrence doesn’t really care? He doesn’t really need friends as long as there are people around him and he has Cain, he’s satisfied. He doesn’t like having close friends; he doesn’t want people to know too much about him. Also, people bore him often, they’re too easy to predict.
  • What would your character make a scene in public about?
Lawrence would probably make a scene for something trivial so he can look cute … … … Otherwise, if someone were to touch his sport cars, he could get upset. He likes them a lot.
  • What would your character give their life for?
Law would never give his life for anything. From his point of view, nothing is more important than himself and his image.
  • What are your character’s major flaws?
Lawrence is overconfident. But he is very bright so he has a reason to think so highly of himself, to be honest… Also, he may hide and forget his feelings instead of expressing them. He says too often what people want to hear instead of what he truly thinks. He rarely is honest with anyone. Lawrence is a really good liar…. He wants Cain for himself only. He’s selfish.
  • What does your character pretend or try to care about?
He pretends to care about other haha. He’s not even trying to be interested in them as long as he has fun.
  • How does the image your character tries to project differ from the image they actually project?
Depending where, depending in what situation. 
Around Larron, he acts a bit like an older sister(?). He fools Larron and project that image, but Mery thinks it’s very fake and she sees him as a dishonest and bad man. 
At work, he looks like a serious and competent man, but with somewhat weird fashions tastes. It’s very similar to the image he wants to project, but he thinks he has a good fashion sense… 
He’s a calculating man and he’s good to project a fake image of himself.
  • What is your character afraid of?
He’s afraid of losing Cain and of being bored/having nothing to do. Although he participates in illegal activities and it could turn out bad, he isn’t scared. He isn’t that scared of getting caught, he thinks it could even be fun. Also if he got caught, Cain would stay with him.
  • What is something most people in your setting do that your character thinks is dumb?
Lawrence thinks most people are dumb in general. He thinks most people’s actions are futile and meaningless.
  • Where would your character fall on a politeness/rudeness scale?
Lawrence is rude. He looks very polite, but he truly is dishonest. Most of the other characters would describe him as a polite man, but some realize he’s more than what he looks like. Lawrence is deceitful. He is a coarse and egoistic man. He only sees himself. All the time. He doesn’t think much about others. Even if he loves Cain so much, he sees himself before.

note : I don't want Lawrence to seem like a misunderstood character. He became a "bad person" and enjoys it. 
*with Larron, he is actually someone who is/was able to piss Law off before the twins saw how they could use him. Now, it's okay.
 

Thank you for reading !
