9: Georg Hoeffner

© Florian K., since 2014


I screwed up his hands. Even after several attempts to redraw them they still look off.
I think this is the first jock/bully/blockhead I've ever drawn.

Likes:
sports in general · racing · climbing · boxing · sporty girls with long blond hair (or tough girls in general ‒ they're so sexy) · cats and other small and cute animals · sweets

Hates:
writing essays or everything else that requires many words · if people talk about complicated stuff that makes him look dumb · teachers (especially art teachers) · being forced to concentrate on boring stuff · if people speak ill of him behind his back (where he cannot punch them in the face)

About him:
He's know for his eagerness and strength, but also for his rude behavior and bad temper. He can be extremely selfish and likes to impress people or to attack them if he believes they think or talk badly of him. That's why many students are afraid of him and don't dare to speak out loud in his presence. But at the same time everybody thinks he's dumpish, but that's actually not the case. He's only slow in comprehending things or hasn't enough motivation to concentrate on them. People keep saying he should stick to sports, because he's not intelligent enough for other stuff ‒ after some time he adopted this way of thinking and deems himself stupid, what makes things only more difficult and less motivating for him. He neglects school stuff, because he thinks he cannot understand it anyway and at the same time he's afraid of not passing his exams or being worthless, what creates an awkward dilemma. That's why he tries to hang out with smart people who he thinks are still cool enough (he doesn't want to be around those lame nerds). He usually sticks to Kevin who everybody seems to like anyway, because Kevin promised him to help him with his exams and usually lets him copy his homework. In exchange, Georg is Kevin's footboy and his "muscles" to intimidate other students. Georg doesn't notice that people should be angry at Kevin; instead Georg gets all their anger.

Life:
He was born in a small family of workers. His parents aren't very interested in what he does at school as long as he's not kicked out. That's why he usually doesn't get punished for his rude behavior or for not doing his homework. There're no real consequences for him, but also no motivation to make an effort at achieving better grades. His diabetes was the initial reason to do sports and to get in shape. He likes candy and fast food, but to much of it may be able to kill him. He has to keep a strict diet. This shows that he can concentrate on stuff if he really wants to. He absolutely adores small animals like cat babies, rabbits and puppies, but he doesn't want others to know.

RANDOM MUSICAL PICK OF THE WEEK

I have no idea what to pick for this week and I don't feel like searching for something special. Here's something from the top of my head:

Cindergarden — Lismus Red

Cindergarden (or more precisely Jaymie Valentine) creates experimental and highly atmospheric songs by combining elements known from industrial, avant-garde and dark wave music. Her music is as weightless as a black feather, but also partly unsettling, strange, sarcastic and profound like the raven that lost it.
