Description 2006
2005

$y2jenn suggested that I start keeping track of how the appearance of my characters change over time, just so I can have a visual record. I sketched up this one and coloured it in Photoshop. From the looks of things, Myrmidon has gotten much heavier in the past two years, and his beard has gotten shorter. The bronze loop next to his belt buckle is gone, but aside from that I don't think I've changed anything about his clothing. One of these days I need to sit down and re-do his ref sheet.

Yeah, I realize I made his head a bit big and his arms a bit small. I gotta fix that one of these days.

Pencil & Photoshop - 3 hours total

That's one of my favourite games ever. I need to draw Gilius Thunderhead one of these days.

You could so easily do it! With the way you draw, he would come out a million times cooler that what he looked on the game!
And he was darn cool in the game!

Myrmidon's a brill character, and it's really interesting to see how he's changed over time. And he's looking thoroughly excellent here, if I may say so.

I just noticed the Runes on his knuckles ... are they representing something specific? or for decoration?

GH-MoNGo In reply to QuestingRaven [2007-10-06 15:13:13 +0000 UTC]

Those aren't runes, they're definition lines. But if there's confusion there, I think I need to change it.

QuestingRaven In reply to GH-MoNGo [2007-10-10 16:38:46 +0000 UTC]

OH DUH! My bad. I saw them as definition lines the second time I looked ... Guess my mind was stuck in my rune-bag that morning

Hungrysparrow [2007-10-02 00:23:41 +0000 UTC]

Its interresting to see how your art has developed too. Better shading and looser more confident drawing. However, I do love the scale kilt in the 2006 image.

GH-MoNGo In reply to Hungrysparrow [2007-10-02 00:24:42 +0000 UTC]

He still has the scale kilt, I just got kinda lazy when I was sketching this. It was during a driving school classroom session.

I should really draw him out full-body and all. I think I made his head a bit too big and his arms a bit small in this one.

Hungrysparrow In reply to GH-MoNGo [2007-10-02 12:38:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah a full body shot would be better as a comparison with the earlier pieces.

y2jenn [2007-10-01 01:26:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I love comparisons like this! I'd actually like to see them all side by side, like what i've done for Kidd. How old is Myrmidon anyway? I mean in terms of how long since you first drew/wrote about him.

You've come a long way in a short time, Darrenn. I see more personality and character in him now. Not to mention your artwork in general feels more sure and strong. Keep goin!

GH-MoNGo In reply to y2jenn [2007-10-01 01:28:52 +0000 UTC]

I first drew him in November 2005. The coloured version is from December 05.

Thanks Jenn! Your encouragement means a lot!
