Description
After a long while of not being uploading anything, I guess it's time for me to at least put up a small sketch I had been working on. I apologize for not updating as often as I'd like... but I haven't been doing anything productive these days...I had uploaded an outdated picture of this character some time ago, and always felt like he deserved a better-looking portrayal.
This began as a study on him, because I wanted to redisign his suit of armor, something very trademark and unique to him. The pose and the mood of the sketch really got to me and I decided to make it a complete piece on its own. I think it conveys much of his feel... He's full of loneliness, bitter memories and the like, but he's got to set those things aside and carry on. That's pretty much what I felt when I saw him holding on to that spear in the wind, holding that heavy cape in his hand, all by himself.

I'd really wish my full size drawings ended up a little bit more than this... which is no more than 15 cm high.
Well people, hope you enjoy him
Cya around!

Thanks. The shading... done with a freaking sharpie pen in abscence of my regular inking tools. I certainly miss them. Ah... the bitterness...
This guy here... he's the main character on a story I've been writting since a long time ago. It must be like 90 pages by now... but still far from finished. I've been put through a TERRIBLE writter's block these past few months.-... If you'd been around longer you'd know the rest of it all... *sighs* In fact, it's one of the reasons I joined DA in the first place.
I'd love to share it with everyone... but translating it would be one hell of a job... maybe when I'm done? I don't wanna be presuntous but in the first place that storey started as my first attempt to write a novel.
HoweIt'd be fine, to talk about it. Fire away, my gentle readers!
I HATE YOU, SHARPIE!!!

Very welcome! :] I so know what you are talking about.
That sounds long. So you're a writer as well as an artist? That's cool!
I see. Well good luck!

Nay, not really, but I do try hard every time. I had an awful time trying to think of the ornate elements on it... Guess it's like wheat/leaves/plants or something.
The armor is one of the most important physical traits on this character, so it had to look somewhat special.
Thanks! (BTW, I'm currently trying to color this. Computer color or something. It's one hell of a job... T_T )
