Description
Athan Cyprusink version
all ink line art (traditional)
INK DETAIL here: [link]
Here's the main character for my creator owned concept project "Chaos Destiny".
Athan Cyprus is a very brutal character and somewhat of an anti-hero in the grim world of Chaos Destiny.
Personally this is one of my favorite characters I've designed and drawn.
It can be fun to draw some of the iconic well known characters, but for me it doesn't really even compare to creating characters and art for my own vision.

Tremendous marksmanship Andy, this is one of my favourites of yours....
The level of detail is simply exquisite, I can see a lot of love went into this piece. Aside from spectacular detail your subject matters are so intriguing to look at, you mix the shadows with such a strong contrast to the highlights your style and work really is something to behold...
Well done...

is this done all by pen? how did you do the noise on the screens? or is that a secret

yeah, it's all pen and ink line art. There's not really a secret for the noise on the screens... it was all drawn line by line and paying close attention to the values the lines were creating, while trying to give it a distorted static texture.

When you're designing such amazing looking characters, it's no wonder you prefer them to the icons. Beautiful.

Iconic characters can have limits... designing your own can be a more pure to your own vision and have more personality.

You're also unencumbered by years of back story. And preconceived ideas on how the character should be represented.
Thanks for the reply, you work is pure eye candy.

Oh my God! Did you do the noise on the screens by hand? That's just amazing.

Yeah, I drew the statik texture on the monitors. I've done this technique in a few drawings now, but I think I might have invented it on this one
