Description
I knew I'd get around to finishing this guy eventually. This is a character drawing for ~RakaiThwei . The date at the bottom reflects the point at which I'd finished the inking; I wasn't sure exactly when I'd be able to attend to the coloring.There's a watercolor wash underpainting, but all of the detail went in with Prismacolor pencils.

I'd be careful with the sword that he's holding. Haha but I have to admit you did a excellent job on this. It would be nice too have a torturial to learn how to sketch like this. (That is if you have the time 
but really, this drawing is really good.Ā

Thanks very much.
Yeah, you have to be pretty careful when you're performing gymnastic feats while holding long pointy things... Ā
I have an older 2-part tutorial that shows the drawing process for one of my Predator pictures, if that would help:

The coloring job is wonderful! Pose is very good, so full of energy and action! The sword is my favorite part (what a surprise, I am obsessed of swords). I am not surprised that RakaiThwei likes it

I have to admit the more work I see from you the more I admire you, your work, your mind!! You continue to improve upon your base, my cheeks are sore from smiling while looking at such excellent work...

Starting with water color sounds like an awesome idea. I'm going to have to try it some time. I haven't had a chance to work in pencil for a long while, it could be fun. Btw, great job on the coloring. I've noticed you seem to have a distinctive coloring style. ^_^

Thankies. I'd say that the main tendency I have is toward high-chroma and analagous or split-complementary color schemes. I don't know if that qualifies as a style or not, but I know that's what I do when I'm not thinking about it!

The high-chroma works. It reminds me of older comic books, when the couldn't get the range in printing colors they have now. I like both the modern, and the high-chroma coloring styles. Styles or subjective so I suppose it could be one if you ever wanted to call it that. ^_^ Bleh, I have an obsession with the Minor Complement color scheme of Purple & Orange. I blame it on Maxfield Parrish's artwork.

Your Preds and your coloring technique just rock! I'd love to get my skill to your level eventually. :>

WOW!!! Awesome Predator. I like the...uh... "puddle-jump" pose? And the colors are awesome as well.

Thankies. I get tired of seeing Predators in the "striking a manly pose" pose, so I went for a backflip instead.

Say, when are you open for another request? May of 2005, right?

Something like that, yes. It really depends upon when I get the rest of the commissions and requests completed.

Ah, by that time, should you be done, I may have something in mind for you once again my friend.
