Personality: Angry

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.

The crazy softness of your brush strokes and your color choices make this guy look lovable and friendly, and then I look as his expression! Nice!

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!

Cheers,

Oliver

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.

This is a classic! I love the shape of his arms... that's a ton of muscle. Always great stuff, Sam - this is one of my favorites.

His shiny muscles are the best.
