Description
Look at his little face. I bet he's just sad because the store didnt have his favorite flavor of ice cream. This is another art test for a job I didn't get, but I certainly learned a lot from it. This was the first piece I did in 2014. Also, sorry for all the dragon posts, I'll have some non-dragon work to show soon.Tumblr Art Blog

Dragon art is cool! Keep doing that and do others as well haha.
I really like the way you do concept art or ref sheets, very detailed.

I love it when you upload design sheets like this. I'd ask you to do it more often, but i suppose it's not a process you go through all the time.

Got no idea why you didn't get the job, 'cause whoa - I'd hire you in a second based on this. What a large amount and great variety of content.

If you have to apologize for too many dragons, you're obviously talking to the wrong people.

Wow ! I am really impressed by the inherent quality of this piece
You surely must have spent countless hours on the little details that give every instance of the main character a unique touch...For that, I cannot help but admire you, and every other character designer
My hope is to work as a sound designer in a big company one day

Love the short legs big body combo.
It gives the common fantasy style a comic book twist

"My daughter... is going to marry some punk kid.
I'd bet he doesn't even know how to lift a sword!
My wife is expecting only twins this time,
when I specifically told her I wanted triplets.
And... they ran out of maple nut crunch.
At least I got to pick up Gertrude again.
You'll never fail me, will you dear?"
*squish* *splortch*
"No, of course you won't."

That a sexy Dragon Slayer, your art would work perfect on Torchlight 2, maybe a mod for including that guy will be amazing.

I'm really hapy to see this sort of work from you. Looks more fun then hard core realism.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Realism is far more rewarding

I suppose if you are into that sort of then lol. I think there is a lot of freedom involved in breaking the rules of how a face looks or arm and leg size ratios. Although, you really do have to understand what things look like in real life ( especially when lighting ) to really make things pop. In short, I view style as an expression.
