I'm not sure which is sadder: that a few years ago I would have drawn a character like this in all seriousness, or that his sword really isn't that big compared to the average japanese video game.
Done for the "Bad Fantasy Art" topic on the Avalanche blog.
His face tells you that he really takes his job serious. The colours are great, very herculean. A very tasteful version of an often tasteless topic. Marvellous!
PS: I've added you to my blogroll if you don't mind!
Absolutely revolting. I love it. I like how you pushed the arms into interesting shapes, and still thought out their volume very thoroughally. ANd the emerald belt buckle looks like it has magical properites. Is it elven? hahahaha. nerdy fantasy.
Your colors are on another planet man! Eye candy for sure.
