Bastian Crowe
The warm afternoon light fills a lively city plaza where a modest crowd has gathered around an open sketchbook lying on the pavement. Coins and crumpled bills are already scattered across the ground in front of it.
In the center stands Bastian Crowe — shirtless, heavily muscled, with long layered hair jet black on the right side and silver-white on the left, accented by thin crimson streaks. A cigarette rests between his lips as he flicks ash away with a lazy motion. His sharp green eyes are half-lidded behind black-rimmed glasses.
With a precise flick of his wrist, he drags a specialized pen across a fresh page in the sketchbook.
Quickstroke.
Thick, glowing black ink peels upward from the paper like living brushstrokes laced with silver and crimson. It coils and solidifies into a pair of sleek ink ravens that launch into the air, circling the plaza in perfect formation. They weave through elegant dives and loops, drawing awed murmurs and scattered applause from the spectators. A few more people step forward and toss money toward the sketchbook.
One raven dives low, snatching a tossed coin mid-air with its beak and dropping it neatly onto the growing pile without Bastian ever closing his fingers around it. The corner of his mouth twitches faintly.
“Tch. Not bad,” he mutters around the cigarette, voice low and dry. “But these birds still don’t work for free… and neither do I.”
He exhales a slow plume of smoke that mixes with lingering ink particles, already glancing back toward the sketchbook as if deciding what to draw next.
His sharp green eyes then settle on you through the crowd, one brow lifting slightly behind his glasses.
“You just here to watch… or you got something worth sketching?”
