Description
Rocko the Gnoll, thinking about something. I'm not sure what it is.Trying out new techinques and materials. A recent addition to my palette for acrylics is Chrome Tin Oxide (PBr24), which resembles Yellow Ochre (PY43) without the green undertone. It's very good in mixtures and very opaque. PBr24 is offered by two commercial manufacturers in Acrylics: Talens Rembrandt and Winsor & Newton Finity.
Acrylics on Crescent 310 Cold Press Illustration Board.

nice man, good strokes and texture here. I thought it was Splinter from TMNT with a short nose at first. ^_^
Good stuff.

I love this painting!
It is good to see real brush strokes, instead of simulated ones... And the image size is perfect to appreciate these.
I like the expression, thoughful, indeed perhaps a bit worried.
The only thing that seems off is the nose, the shape is a bit odd given the angle.
Beside that, it would look good in the British Museum or the Louvre.
(Mmm, exaggerating a little? Perhaps... )

I love it. I love the texture and the atmosphere.
He looks more frightened or worried than contemplative though.

Maybe he's half-worried, half-contemplative.
Thanks man.

I really like the warmth of the colors. Gives it an aged look, almost like some of the old masters were so famous for.

Aww he looks worried... maybe needs a hug... >.>
I doubt he would like a hug from Erisae... I even doubt that she would want to hug anyone tho...
Back to topic. Amazing results Mongo. I love the shades and the fur effect yet another masterpiece

He looks emotional. I like how you've built up the colours from the watery underpainting, allowing the natural grain of the paper to show through the thicker overpainting. Adding a couple of extremely white highlights to his eyes and nose would give them a more shiny texture and wet appearance.

Kinda. They look like two-legged hyenas, but most gnolls are very strong (and not too smart either).

Ive heard stories of barbaric gnoll wizards and seers.
Surely they must have Some intelligence in order to do these things p:
but most of the stories are about brawlers and such as well. xD

truly awesome, mongo! I love the textures in this. It looks realistic but still carries the character over from the more cartoonish drawing
