Description Character Art for an online game.
This one was a fun project because the instructions were "Just draw something and we'll pay you for it". LOL I like instructions like that!

Created in Painter 9.5 and CS4

You are amazing, could you draw Valkenhayn from Blazblue? Google it to find what he looks like Definitely subscribed.

I gotta disagree with , I think the mass of his legs, feet and arms really make him look dwarfish. I like the tilted perspective!

Oh dwarfs do love their hammers, nice combination of plated armor and chainmail.
He kinda reminds me of the dwarfs in the Warhammer universe.

Thank you, I appreciate that.
I never tried the Warhammer games, they're like StarCraft and strategy based right?

Well, Warhammer is actually a tabletop game with miniatures that has dozens of videogames based on it's universe. Warcraft and Starcraft where intended to be official Warhammer titles but the deals were cut and Blizzard decided to make their own line of games, though the similarities between them and Warhammer have remained very close.

Here is the link is case you are interested [link]

Of course my own page has many examples of painted models.

Dwarf: WHERE IS MY BEER?!
But seriously, great Dwarf! And hmm... could you tell us what is the name of this game, of course if it is not some secret? ^^

LOL yeah Dragon Agerigins Oghren FTW!

I believe the game is in beta and it's on facebook. Called "Haven"
It's hard for me to get into any of the FB games, being a visual person I've got to have the eye candy and animation.

Yeah, Oghren rulez!
I am a year-long Mafia Wars player so maybe it's a right time to change the climate to more fantastic one
I am a visual person too but also a completionist (I hope that I wrote that right ) so once I begin playing it's hard to me to stop before I complete level/quest/plot/game

Digging the reflections on the boots... I can never quite get that on my armor.

I worked on a project for a year that had nothing but trucks with Chrome smoke stacks, that's pretty much where I learned to chrome. LOL
I had to draw this stuff over and over: [link]

At the risk of sounding cliche-ish i am starting to see where the term "practice makes perfect". I am far from perfect no doubt but I am seeing improvements which I think is cool. I've been working on a lot of stuff dealing with anatomy and starting to see improvements there as well so definitely keep working at the stuff you feel you need to strengthen.

Wow, great chrome on that... I can see what you mean. Practice is quite important so I'll need to set aside a project for myself to practice chrome and reflections. I used to give art lessons to a young teen and I'd always give home work but he rarely did it and yet he complained about never getting better. I think that's my motivation, I'm constantly getting better with time and work.

I like how I can't tell if the person is a Dwarf or a Human, due to lack of scale. It's not a criticism of the picture, we just can't tell if those are Dwarf-sized shrubs, or Human-sized shrubs!
