October Character Blast!

This month's theme: Cold War Soviet Russia (1950's-Early 80's)

I'm throwing these out there, because it has popped into my head.

Ivan: Government exec type, not totally corrupt but not a completely moral guy either. Obviously a drunk.

Dasha: Ivan's wife, high maintenance , reeks of perfume, is still a bit of a looker at late 40's early 50's- but is a bit disgusted with her husband at this point.

Yalena: Ivan's mistress, old country, in her 40's, but from fine farm stock, a plump, hard lived Siberian Gal- yet not bitter, loves life.

Sergei: Soldier in his late 20's, a bit naive but loyal, tho still a slave to his morals. Clean cut.

Olaf: Orphan kid, Gung-ho military- wants to be a soldier when he grows up. Scrappy life on the street.

Alexandr: yes there is no "e." Brute robot- powerful, military, yet not malicious. Big SOB. Design: think space program, migs, russian cameras, etc.

Vasili: The guy who made Alexandr. I picture the guy who invented the ak-47, working for Commies was not a glamorous thing, the ak-47 guy lives in a crap apartment altho having invented the most popular assault rifle in the world. Think late 50's- EDIT: Late 50's to 80's and above, end EDIT:, smart as hell but rode hard and put away wet.

Don't know where this blog is at, but here are some characters in a little world, feel free to use them or not! Happy drawing!

I guess it would be a good idea to tag posts from this theme as "Russian, Cold War" I think tagging is wise to keep consistent for future reference.
