Taylor: Meet Eugine

This is Eugine. Below is my character description, see if it matches your first impression.

Before the war Eugine was a programmer. He was perfectly content to listen to the hum of his computer in his mothers basement, occasionally stopping to feed their 12 cats. Now he spends most of his time cowering in trenches, covering his sensitive ears. Eugine has never been much for exercise, due to his flat feet and acute asthma.  He doesn't like firing guns, and doesn't want to hurt anybodies feelings, let alone kill them.

 I am looking for any general critique. I am particularly interested in the silhouette, and the hand placement. I am debating whether to keep his finger on the trigger, or to have him just grip his right hand just like the left to show how unfamiliar he is with a gun. The face is not top priority but I would like to hear how it makes you feel. I'm going for a panicky pathetic scared type of thing.

Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully comment!

I think you're correct; the right hand grip pose would work better with something that looks awkward and ill-prepared to actually fire the weapon. I really look forward to seeing how you resolve the challenge of the 3 strike attack with a character that is fearful and counter aggressive.

I'd offset the feet a bit more forward and back from each other for more pleasing asymmetry.
