Description Here's a random picture that Zaen had given up on -- but not I!!! I basically started from scratch, but I had to undo a lot of coloring that was on the same layer as the sketch. So here it is! A Soul Drinker -- much thanks and praise to the guys at Games Workshop, but especially to my buddy Zaen who drew the darn thing! See Zaen [link] for more AWESOME art!

Ohhhhhh!! Very nice coloring here! That must have been tough, with all those little details, especially on the skulls! The nice, simple shading balanced well with the drawing, so both talents can be seen!

I didn't know his hands were bloody at first, until I investigate the picture furthur. Try adding some shines to blood, I find that makes it look more liquidy. ::cough:: Not that I've ever drawn blood before!! Ahaha... haha...

Also, be careful with the busy ground. Because it is the only textured or patterned part of the piece, it is drawing away from the main character. I would say make the ground a plane color as well, or grey down and blur the color of the ground. Maybe a shadow would help too, to make the central character the main eye magnet.

I think the best shaded part is the skulls! You knew just what to shade, and how much. I always have a problem with stuff like that, and over rendering. I'm like "Doi, this part would make a shadow on this!" when for the sake of the drawing, that much detail is a death wish for the work!

Nice job! Sorry took me so long to reply! (as per usual )

Thanks for the pointers Skye! I've been trying to improve in both areas of shading and backgrounds (yanks collar)... *cough* I'm sure I could improve a whole lot on both things! Thanks for the kind words! Happy new year!

Dude that is soooo much better than what I was trying to do. Double thumbs up to you my friend! I like what you've done with the left shouldar pad. The spikes and chalice look really good. I wish there where more skulls but hey thats what I get for being lazy and never finishing it. The ground texture is very nice to, it goes with the skulls very nicey. Good on ya mate!
