Description Speedpainting. My problem is I'll never have the patience to draw anything decent.

Reffed from an advert in a fashion magazine.

This didn't look like it was from ASoIaF, so I thought it was safe.
I REALLY enjoy the angling and expression on this one. The downward angle of the gaze and the slanted eyes go very well to create a character whose horns match his expression. The colored shading, as always, is absolutely perfect to show structure and you still have one of my favorite styles of hair drawing. The shimmer effect is so well blended Horns themselves are very cool, I like the segmented look, but mind the curve and shading on the closer one; it seems to be a bit too large in comparison to perspective on the farther horn, and it doesn't seem to follow the head as neatly as the back one does. Overall, fantastic as usual!

The original ref was some male model selling perfume. Sadly, the original did not have horns and blue skin. This is what happens when I visit my parents. I go through my mum's Elle and Vogue magazines, ripping out pages, which delights my mum as she thinks I'm taking notes about shoes or fashion. I don't have the heart to tell her what I really intend from the tear outs!

Shush, if you show her what comes out of the torn pages, I'm sure she'd be a little surprised, but still proud.

The horns are still pretty good, just practice with weird curvy angles through very difficult dimensions.

Arf, if I showed this to my mum she would totally not give a shit... unless I dressed the guy in a pair of Jimmy Choos. Seriously, my mum has this weird thing of going blind and/or becoming instantly bored at the sight of my art or animations, it's like the neurons for comprehending or even registering the existence of art are completely missing in her brain. She's never seen any of my work, even when I've been waving it in front of her face.

That's absolutely disappointing and tragic D: At least you've got the internet, we'll keep telling you how great your stuff is!
Especially me.
After I read ADwD. ><
