damn! wow! they look so awesome and realistic!   

you nailed the teeth perfectly without making them look like monsters! (if you know what I mean! damn teeth!) Did you use stock photos for this picture? Or Did you level up so quickly while I was away!? 
They really have very distinct features and that's very impressive! I like their pose too, like two boisterous kids wanting to take over the world!

So this is the return of Draegar then! finally his moment of glory haha! beautiful work on texture and perspective too, as always!

Thank you!

I've never had teeth problems tbh xD I think it's that most people forget to shade in the teeth - if they look too white and have no shadows, it might turn out weird.
But yep, this was a photo study . It was at the bottom of the description. I wish I could use a cheat code and level up like this. xD

Haha yeah, I hadn't drawn him in a while. Thank you!

well, my problem is I tend to shade them too much! it turns weird too! 
ha yes! it's written very small haha! Yes, made me drop my jaw! You can't fool me yet! but it wouldn't surprise me if one day you might be able to do something like that!

he seems like a cool character! can't wait to see more of him!

Oh, I see. XD
Hopefully. But smiles are the hardest things in the world to do properly, that's for sure.

He's great. He has a lot of depth.

Nice photo study, the pose is very realistic I like the colours and the way you shaded their faces especially but it kind of seems at odds with your normal style somehow? I'm not sure maybe the hard outlines on their features but not on the hair.
Great piece though, you can see their friendship clearly

Thank you very much!
I don't recall having a normal style lol. If by normal you mean the usual sucky shit I do then...
Could be that, though the hair was done the way I always do it - black outlines and colours beneath. Maybe it just looks like there are no hard outlines because it's more zoomed in than usual? Or the realistic shading emphasises the face outlines? I dunno

AWWWW, omg, these are so cute! I especially love Draegar's face angle here. Super realistic!

Ruso has the cheekiest smile ever. Draegar's eyes look softer in contrast. 

The blur behind them really makes the two of them stand out. The texture on their shirt looks like I can really reach out and touch it. You've been improving a lot recently!

Thanks a lot haha yeah I have them grinning at me from my desktop, love them so much.

I've changed the way I do things haha. But this one is a photo study so I can't take credit for it at all.
