RedditMachine!

On a whim, I added this little fellow to Companion-Humanoids just now:

redditalien

Dress him up and post a link to your creation in this thread! I'll pick my favorite and that person will get a free custom illustration from yours truly of one of your characters.

Why? Why not! I love Reddit and thought this might be fun. I may even post these there in an appropriate sub if I can find one.

Enjoy!
