Description
A big problem I have is inconsistency.This is probably the best sketch I've done of my quote unquote alterego Sariel V, as he exists in his own little fanworld takeoff of SaGa Frontier. It's also one of the best sketches I've ever done of a person's face.
It also looks nothing like what I've drawn of him earlier, nor have I been able to replicate the look hence. But I liked this happy accident enough to dub it the official pic.
Sariel's never really looked like his creator. That was never my intention. I'd rather my persona looked a heck of a lot cooler than I do in real life. Yet there's something very humanistic looking about this guy that sets him apart from the usual anime brethren. I'm guessing it's a combination of the gentle, slightly sad eyes and the huge nose. Well, you can't be totally perfect, right?
I'd type more, but this misplaced adbar covering my textarea is really bugging the crap out of me. Accident. Yep. Right.

I understand alter egos....I have two personally.
I can see a definately human aspect to this...much more so than anime...although the hair does defy gravity...
Good work, very personal.

As far as the hair goes, it matches mine right about now....
I'm almost an Einstein/Beethoven lookalike.

Hello~
I love sarielv! He's definitely a haughttie. 
BTW, given that I like your art so very much, would you mind if I used him as an avatar perhaps on my LJ? In addition, are you aware of any art groups here on deviantart which cater to writers rather than graphic artists? Arigato most gozoimasu.

Well, first off, thank you 
I suppose you could use him if you want, though I'd have to wonder why you would want to use someone else's personal self-insertion avatar
I don't know of any writing groups on here... I tend to stick with fanfiction.net for that. I only just moved in within the last couple of months.
There's something about your chosen icon for here that looks very familiar. Where did you get it?

Bah, I hate it when the adbar does that. x-x That's when I usually just decide to wait a day or so to post..
At any rate, Sar is adorable. ^__^ *hugs him* I love his sad expression and how real he looks.
And I like his nose. A lot. o.o

I do too. It really seems to give him some character.
