New OC's!

This is my second drawing of my new OC Mr. D. Mcbones. He moved from New Orleans to Texas to be a cowboy! He lives in a ghost town so everyone looks dead but the town was cursed so they have to stay there for eternity in their own version of hell. His parents don't know either of them are dead. This is him in front of his line house next to his wife, Mrs. Mcbones.

I tried to make it decently accurate to the mid to late 1800's cowboys when I was obsessed with them when I was 11 lol. I based the drawing off of the American Gothic painting a little. He is not wearing pants or a shirt cause I wanted to show his bones, just a denim jacket and leather chaps. I'm not great at drawing wrinkles on clothing or shading really cause I'm still learning but I still like it and I hope you like it. :)

(I'm now realizing you guys don't know my other OCs and that this must seem really "cringey" or "edgy" but idc I love him :) )
