Jim always wanted to be a cop. After 30 years on the force, he has become soured to the whole process. But, needing money, he's doing what he does best, solving crimes. Even after retirement.
WoW! Just WoW! This is a really great piece. I'm digging on your style and one your ability to keep the same character and tweak the design so that it has a completely different mood. It's still him, that's really easy to see, and Jim does look a bit old and calloused in the second sketch. Really awesome!
