Wooow i love that dark side!!!!! iots awesome the colros and pose of the character!

He looks pretty done to me....

V.

There's still a lot of work to do. I've worked on this some more, correcting this and that. I added a background too, but it still looks crappy.

I gotta update the file at some point. Right now I gotta go get some sleep, though... My plane is leaving tonight. I'm gonna pay a visit to a friend of mine who lives in England. =)

oooooooooo... you have a good trip hun... try to unwind a bit.

Hugs...

V.

A lovely piece ^.=.^

Thanks! ^^ *smooch*

Do I spy a drow? D: Or something else?

He's an incubus. He used to have a pair of leathery wings on his back, but they got torn off. Mwaha! It served him right.

Usually the contrast between his blue skin and fair hair is not that strong, but I started painting this on a dark background and I just went with what looked good at the time. =)

Aha. Gotcha. I was wondering about the horns~ It was my second guess. Either way, it is VERY PRETTY.

Haha, here's something I scanned for you, you made me think of it! ;o)

Haha! Thanks! That's almost like Korgoth of Barbaria. =D

Nah, I think his pants, or lack thereof, are just fine ;)

Kidding. I think it looks wonderful hon. Glad to see you around again too. Missed you *HUG*

Missed you too! *hugs* ^^ <3

You sure did well on the perspective^^

Oh, hey thanks. =D

I was unsure of how it looked at first and I still can't quite get my finger around it... Perspective is my weakest point.

Hehe... well mine is coloring. Strange that I often get perspectives well though I never ever use any single help lines or so... But you do great. Dam, you at all draw better than me^^

mmm lovely work. the coloring is fantastic!

Thanks! I'm hoping to improve it as soon as I get the time. I just returned home from England and my schedule is looking pretty hectic. Whew.

Well I think it's worth finishing... Pose and details are nice... if that's true it's unfinished work then I can pretend that the finished piece will look awesome... Hmm background background background... I have the same problem many times... well It's a warrior with a sword (ps: suggest you to use any picture of real sword as a reference because that thing between the handler and the blade (don't know how to call it in english) is too short comparing to the rest)... so again, it's a warrior so maybe there should be a battle scene in the background. I mean a line of infantry drawn not quite precisely, a cloudy gray sky and blizzards... maybe a dragon on the sky and its firebreath... of course again not very precisely... you can't spend too much time on the background... I don't have any better ideas...

Thanks for the feedback. =)

But say, there's no need to pretend just for my sake. I'm a bit disappointed to hear that you think I might be not be sincere about the state of this picture. I don't often post WIP pictures, but this time I made an exception. I'm going to England to visit my friend and my plane leaves tonight. When I come back I gotta finish colouring two commissions, so I'm afraid this guy has to wait. It's a shame, 'cause I already like the way he looks.

You can't see it here, obviously, but I started painting a gigantic moon and some dunes on the background. The character himself won't change much. I'm going to fix a couple of tufts of hair, shade the belt buckles so that they blend in more seamlessly, add some colour to give his pants more shape and put some gleamies to the sword. I would like to add some more detail to his hands, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that.

...The horn's busted, too. The shoulder pad looks flat. -_.

The more I look at it, the more needs to be done.

First about that "pretend"... well I used not a good word, I didn't mean to offend you any way. The second thing is not to worry... you're a great artist and it doesn't mean each of your works have to be PERFECT... do your best... that's the most important part :) and have a nice time in England.

Thanks, I will. ^^

Painting is good. Meh can't paint. But from this state the dude could even be pants less. XD

I fixed the pants and painted in an actual background, but there's still some work to be done before this guy is ready. =)

Yes yes, still cant wait to see.

You're back !! ^^ Been too long :3

...and something GREAT! Glad to see ya online^^

Thanks! I won't be here for long, though... My plane leaves tonight and I'm going to spend the next few days in England. ^^

cool^^

wow....awesome O.O

Thanks. I'm gonna update a better version when I get back from my trip to England. =)

awesome!!! >< and i envy you for getting to go to england <3

wow great pic
reminds me of WoW
^.^

Hey, thanks! It's very nice of you to say so. =D

kewt!

Nice! But I found his face pretty girlish o.o

That's how I like my imaginary men. Very girlish or VERY masculine... The forms between leave me unsatisfied, somehow. ^^;;

Yay! New stuff by you ;D

Looks good - my first thought was "drow", of course, but then I saw the horns.

Perspective is hard, isn't it? X.x

Perspective is terrible! D:

This was the first time I tried anything like that. I've been working on the pic some more and I still think it looks odd.

awesome!
is he a drow?

Actually he's an incubus. He used to have a pair of wings, but he lost them in a fight. And you can't see it here, but he has a tail with a tip shaped like the ace of spades. Normally I also give him a light blue skin and hair that's more yellow blonde than white, but now he somehow ended up looking like a drow instead his usual self. =)

Thanks for the fave, btw! <3

Cute! He's so effeminate that he belongs in a Devil May Cry game. :)

Squee! He and Dante could hold hands. ^^ <3

Teh coolness ^^

Is it possible to rent him? ^.^

He looks sooooooo sexeh

You can rent him, I think, if his daddy lets you. But he can be pretty fatal to your furniture once he gets excited with that sword. =)

Oh.... I dont think that he would become bored by my presence once he's in my or one of my characters range ;)

Kannneeeddaaaaa xD <3 I haven't seen him in a long time--with the exception of the one I drew because I just saw it in a pile of art xD;

Yeah, uh, I decided it's safer to just call him prince K. - otherwise people are going to raise some questions about Akira. ._o

I'm glad you still remember him. He's my evil bishie. ^_^

Bah >.> Screw the dumb people xD comparing things like that xDDD

Yush, he's a sexy evil bishie xD

Kinda like Thrill. Kyloyn misses him too if you've got the time xD <3 *nudges towards the rp*

Yay Charha art!!

lolol. Charha-Art almost sounds like a trademark. xD

Thanks! I'm really motivated to finish painting this picture, 'cause I heard this local sci-fi magazine called Spin might use him as a cover boy, which is cool! =)

I was thinking of scanning a couple of covers and combining them into one big image. I've done about 6 covers or so during the last five years. Oh, and one b/w cover for a magazine called The Alienist. The old covers are terrible, but they might be worth sharing as bits of the bigger picture.

looks awesome ^^ the shading is amazing x____x and so is the ligthing

Thanks! I'm hoping to make it a little bit better. The final version is almost done. =)

wooow can't wait to see it ^^

Ooh now that is a sexeh beast*snicker* he has a broken hooorn*wants to pet it and then run*

Yay, I'm glad you noticed the broken horn! It was cracked in half in the same situation where he lost his leathery wings. <3

Aww poor thing, wingeh loss = not fun.

Wow, the shading is amazing~! Very smooth! I like his eyes and the cuts too *grins* I must have a thing for facial wounds lol

Facial wounds can be pretty hot... As long as the whole face doesn't look deformed. Scars are cool. ;3

An evil prince. With an evil sword. Planning evil things.

Evilly.

Yub, and according to the latest news he's going to be a Spin magazine cover boy when he's ready... At least according to the head editor. I'm so proud! ^^ <3

Exquisite!!!

Sorry if I insist, but you shoud think about getting a job as illustrator for fantasy books or games

Oh, if only I could. I'd really love doing that sort of stuff... ^^

Wow, that is just awesome, Wow

O-o

Thanks! I'm quite proud of myself because I can't often produce anything without pre-drawn lineart. ^^

Is that a dark elf? *jumps up and down eeping for joy*

~GR

More like a dark-skinned incubus. He ended up looking like a drow for some reason... I intended his skin to be blue instead of black, but at some point I forgot what I was supposed to be doing. =)

He's still hot, all the same. ^_^
