Level 25 Construction Worker

After seeing Adam Ford's, Ryan Wood's, and Dave Malan's version of this guy, I got to thinking how many different ways you could color the same picture, and I couldn't rest until I did one that felt different. I think maybe it turned out too different, this time around.



Thanks to Joe Olson for the awesome line art.
