Description An original Character of mine, took about 6 hours.
Did this ages ago, back when I first started painting so it's not really up to scratch.

Used mechanical pencil, mouse and Corel painter 11.
got a bit rough with the clothing but it turned out ok

Enjoy!
XD

I find it slightly depressing when people says "not up to scratch" about stuff I could never hope to accomplish
In any case, I think this is a very nice picture. Maybe a bit rough, but that's part of the charm,

I don't find the clothing to be rough at all. I just presumed that it was in motion.

I thought this was the Nathaniel from 'The Bartemeus Trilogy'.... er...
ANYWAYS: this is beautifully painted, but I feel like he is missing just a tad of depth near the neck. It doesn't look properly hinged onto the back of his skull. It almost looks as though his spine is connected somewhere farther forward (just below the tongue?). THE HAIR IS AMAZING! The lower coat however seems unfinished in an, well, unfinished sort of way (as opposed to a passionately flourished energy pumping strokes...sort of way) Six hours on a narrative free page is pretty brutal though so, I understand.
There is a good sense of movement here, but It is slightly stifled by the cluttered silhouette.
This may or may not be useful, but I always like to think of character design drawings as informational templates. I assume this is meant to be a little preview into the characters world.... something that would give as a quick and solid sense of who he is and what he does.

His posture (either because of a perspective struggle or intentionally) looks slightly unsure and a bit akward. Shiny knives....so clean and new. His coat looks expensive. His hair however doesn't look extraordinarily well kept. What a bazaar combination.
If the akward stance is intentional then he must be a slightly over confident rich kid wielding weapons he doesn't quite know how to use.

If the akward stance is unintentional then we have a more information to work from. His overly clean knives probably imply a sense of obsessiveness with them. Keeping them well oiled, treating them constantly. The wide open undershirt and his unkempt hair- then, imply that he hasn't been brought up quite so rich. The coat either means he has recently become rich or he has recently lifted a coat off of a victim.

Anyways: delicious pic, right down to the slightly misplaced bone.

LAS-T In reply to bashew [2009-11-02 06:11:55 +0000 UTC]

yeah, this one has always been very flawed.
Mainly due to this being the very 1st EVER, physical depiction of my character. this one was a complete improvisation.
I always knew him by essense but physically, he was always a blur...to be honest he probably doesn't even look like this.
Yeah,the neck and skin aren't rendered, i left them in the first layer of painting (got lazy i guess)..
I didn't even finish his face off, nor the hair.
his stance is just me trying to brake away from my usual protrait style paintings...a total test. His clean swords...well he doesn't usually use swords were just like everything else in this picture..unfinished. I was mainly testing out if he should be paired with swords at all. His clothes aren't his normal attire, I was testing what look he should go for but they do look very clean and expensive I guess
But he ain't rich and he is a very skilled fighter...he just doesn't choose to fight with swords very often..seeing he mainly tries to avoid violence...even though violence follows him around like a shadow ^^
But I really appreciate your critique. It gives me a better in sight in my own flaws.
Thank you ^_^
