Wow this is a wonderful ref sheet, very well done!
Scarsssss <3
Also noting the advantage of a flat color back and small simple tail allowing you to have the clean back view without throwing the tail elsewhere, that's pretty neat :D
Back on scars tho, sometimes I wish we can ask what caused them...
...I'm betting like 99% of them are mundane, stupid shit and that's the reason nobody talks about them xD
"Woah sick scars bro, how'd you get that circular pattern? Sweet swordfight?"
"...Actually I tried to hug a lawnmower."
Lost limbs get either sillier (hemorrhage by stepping on a spiked D3 die, amputation necessary) or grimmer (gas or wet gangrene is honestly more revolting than having a ruined knee from a land mine or dry (standard) gangrene)

Actually the scars all have a pretty nasty reason behind them ;)
Oh I bet, but I meant in a realistic sense, since most fictional scarring is in heartily unrealistic patterns for what was supposed to have caused it, and generally the more badass the scar looks in fiction, the less realistic it would be irl, which is why minimalistic scarring or broad burn scars seem to garner more earnest appeal due to their realistic nature (in terms of being common that is, there's always those rare, heavily scarred people that just refuse to die, but they're an exception to the rule)
Regardless, all scars have a story to tell, even if nobody tells that story- sometimes wondering what they could be from is half the appeal :D

I think his arm had some kind of lightning power that burnt parts of his skin but Rabbit would know more than me.
Nah that got nixed a few years back. Once I finally get around to uploading stuff to FA there will be specifics in his Bio
So like the scars Blackheart's base character has under his left eye (120 degree arc with three 'stictch' type perpendiculars crossing it at 45, 75 and 105 degree positions) and the one covering his subsumed right eye :O (Granted this is caused by molten metal with, and this is a very, very far off estimation based on existing terrestrial metals, a density of 343 long tons per cubic meter, as opposed to burnt flesh, but hey it's still thermodynamics so it's related!)
Incidentally that aforementioned left eye scar is the basis for the symbol on Blackheart's back (110 degree arcs in a circle with 10 degree arc gaps, no cross scars, but with the same three 110 degree arcs propagating from the center outwards through the gaps at the 55 degree position, arc side facing counterclockwise), though I don't believe I've ever got artwork from you that showed it (the only back view of Blackheart I can recall drawn by you was the Rainbow Six one, where it's covered anyway)
Scars are heckin' cool, especially certain ones that are the war wounds of noncombatants- they speak of things that tried to kill the bearer but failed, just the same as a scar made by a bullet or blade does.
