He looks a lot like mine, in some aspects ...
Yes, he does, 
WoT ...  

How did Little Jo do the torso? I assume it was not paint...?
Actually, 
Little Jo created the avatar that I am currently using ...  
Cap'n Henry created the "Richard the Lionheart" avatar that I used before 
Little Jo made the avatar that I'm using now.
You are quite correct, 
WoT the torso is not painted.  The torso is from a red Maltese knight. (The red Maltese Knights in the attachment are from 
Sylvia.)
