Description This guy has been through a lot the last year. I started his sketch all the way back in July and it's only been now that I've been able to line him. Maybe a reflection of where I am- rebirth: it is chaos, and disturbing and madness, but in the end is a being healthier and stronger than when started. You just have to strive for it.

Welcome to thick lines, btw. I pushed myself to make impacting, fuller lines and to push away from the zoom and detail every inch urge. It wasn't easy XD It's been a while too, so I'm surprised it doesn't look like rusty crap. >_> I'm not sure how to color lines, so much as paint over them, but I plan to do it on this one. I suspect I will be facing my dark nemesis cell-shading in my attempt-- rawr, I will conquer!

Can you tell I'm happy to be drawing again? I am sooo happy, I didn't realize how much I missed it. I feel like I found a piece of me left behind. *huggles Palid* I'm going to draw more because I miss this side of me. I can't give it a name, but hell, it makes me whole.

Great image! Your lines look great, and the design is very compelling.

I just adore the figure, he looks so cool! My favorite part of the picture is the top third. The face is so lovely, the ruffled collar came out great, and the thinner twiggy branches are so elegant! The insects add a nice touch too. ^_^

For critique: I think the bottom third of the image doesn't feel as developed as the rest. The shapes loose some clarity. I know it is supposed to be a stump, but it sort of has a cabbage-flower look to it from the outer form (if that makes sense).

Beautiful detail and the flow is excellent. Love the width changes in your lines.
