LEX (Alexis) from Barricate - original character presentation

Lex is a major character in my personal project, "Barricate," a story exploring social inequality, gang violence, and the complex paths to redemption.
I aimed to create a character who exudes a sense of danger and mystery; a figure that has a tough aura and demeanor, yet can show a soft side. Inspired by the nature of white and bull sharks, and the aesthetic of grunge and alt fashion, I sought to capture their resilient and strong charm.
