Description Sketch #9 in my daily one-shot pen sketch project. No, I'm not going to submit only sketches; I am working on CGs, too, of course; I'm just submitting this one as a deviation now so you can all see it.

Back to that sketch project, I say one-shot, because I did not do any sort of erasing digitally, nor did I use any sort of white out to correct the drawing; any adjustments had to be made as I went along with my pen; this is a project to become less dependent on erasers for pencil drawings, and to get more things done right the first time. (Plus, this is a big step for a digital junkie to start trying to accquire some traditional skills. )

Constructive critiques would be much appreciated on this one; I am still learning, and any input especially on the pose, and any advice on drawing feet better would be warmly welcomed. However, I know that his face may be a bit asymmetrical (when the eyes ended up mismatched in size, I just decided to roll with it, and make Void look even more furious than normal. ) Also, his wrist looks a bit unnatural; I could probably fix that easily enough; I just didn't catch that until I started typing this up.

Thanks for looking! Comments and favorites would be much appreciated.

Wohoo! *cue FF victory theme* Blanke gained 2 badass points! Now what is the stat cap for badass points? 255?

Yeah, it is pretty confusing; I added too much extra stuff, me thinks. It would actually look better without those nonsensical tattered wings, but, you know, I made a line somewhere with my pen, and I had to roll with it. X___X

There's a raw, urgent feeling in this. It's so dynamic- I really like it.

Drawing with a pen is fun. Everything seems to come out the way you want it to sometimes when you pen things, but with a pencil it's a whole other story...

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. ^^ Drawing with pen is indeed more fun, for some reason. I always feel more professional when I sit down and draw with my oversized pen. With pencils, it's rather easy to depend on the eraser, until the whole page is one smudged mess.

Wow, this is awesome. It's full of motion, life, tension, adrenaline. I really like his design, too.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I think he actually looks best like this, too, all tattered up. You'll find that Void has a tendency to look more and more insane every time I draw him. (I'm vectorizing this one at school, by the way. )

Very cool. Yes, he does look a little (pardon the collquialism) psycho... but in a good way. And I really like this sketch.
