Inktober 21 - Illya's Bloody Shoulder

Illya Petrov is an OC from an RP I was in a while back. He is a purebred Su-27 Flanker who migrated to the post-blowup "humanside" timeline with his parents and older sister when he was a wee babby. They found a place in Australia, where they became aerobatic performers and eventually established their own traveling air circus. The elder Petrovs had had their fill of war, though they made sure the children had enough skills to survive a dogfight. As a boy, Illya was a little hellion, a class clown, and a tease. He's all grown up in this pic, but still has a mischievous streak running beneath that pleasant surface. He is shown in his natural pigment, fleabitten gray with a "bloody shoulder" marking along his right side. It definitely makes him stand out.
