"I'm just standing here innocently holding my fire staff while dressed in my business suit with no shirt and my tie around my head, jeez, stop looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo."
Leonard is a minor character from my Simian Rapscallion pirate stories. He's the manager of a popular musician, and one of his marketing tactics is to parade the streets announcing said musician's arrival . . . while fire-twirling.
He is a pardal, which is one of the original humanoid species in the stories.

Ha ha, thanks! I really had no idea what to do for the background - I didn't want to do an actual scene, just something abstract, so I resorted to the "random messing around with Photoshop" technique.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the flame, I've never been that good at fire but this was one of my better attempts so I'll probably use the same technique in future.
