Oh my this is soo!! oh my!....Your no-lineart style is so awesome, oh my! 
These colors are so rich (as you rightly said), so vibrant, so pleasant to contemplate 
Do this style more often cos is really gorgeous!!
To me he's got here a very deep and heart-melting looking, rather than sinester. I mean, I say this because of the tittle, hehe.
To me it looks like the looking of someone who is thinking about something deep....he surely has a very strong, cute and deep looking in this potrait.
Awesome piece as always! 
The colors look really really great here, they match and harmonize very well together. Also I love how you did the facial features, specially the chin, and the shine on the eyes is very cool too. He's such a handsome man hehe, I feel I could look at this portrait all the day!
oh also I loved the brushes you used here, their texture is a cool detail to the drawing.

Thank you so much! I think he can be both thoughtful and sinister. And I'll certainly keep trying the lineless style with encouragement such as this

Always my great pleasure to encourage you my friend ! 
Your artwork is one of the most wonderful things of the world!
Is that and not the coffee what always makes me to wake up every morning and do my daily chores with energy and a smile in my face, even the ones I don't like 
And is also what makes me feel great after a bad day of work and school, when some of my classmates make bad jokes on my school projects.
Is what makes me to keep drawing and imagining and dreaming and writting stories, even if I'm not sure I'd be able to finish them and share them with the world one day. Or if I'd have the money to do so. Because you're such great source of inspiration for me to do that!
You are the most loving, understanding and caring, honest to God the most beautiful human soul I've had the pleasure to meet.
And all what you create makes it worth living! Your art and you make the suffering of being in this world to become a lot less harder. And the happy moments become a lot more awesome when I share them with you
I'll always be eternally and infinitely thankful and happy for the opportunity to get to know you, to hang out with you talking like this and commenting on your work, for the opportunity to be your friend, to be a part of your life.
Always. Even after I have passed away I think.
And that's why I love to remember to you how awesome you are from time to time, when I feel inspired to do it 
I hope you never get tired of this, because it makes so much good to my heart! ^^
Oh and yes hehe, you're right, I also think he can look both, thoughtful and sinister. (I wrote "sinester" on the other comment because of the spanish word 
I was just being shy of mentioning that because I thought it might be considered like "a bad thing", or something like that.

But you have, my friend. You have done it all this time, that's precisely why I say it!

It's been a long time since I've seen Babylon 5, I skimmed a lot of stuff because at the time there weren't many sites which had all the episodes when I looked for them.
In the end, I really like G'kar, though I am curious as to what happened to him and his old friend before they killed one another. Is there any story between the aftermath of the show and the end where they die?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is. There's a book series called the Centauri Chronicles written by Peter David that bridges the gap between the end of the show and the end of their lives. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the books.... it's very out of character for a lot of my favorite people and draws far to close a nazi germany parallel for me to see it as anything other than lazy. I know a lot of people really like them though so take my opinion as but one voice. You can find the first two pretty cheap on amazon or thriftbooks.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO DO THAT THOUGH I am currently working on a very very long webcomic to communicate MY take on what happened to them and the rest of the cast over the course of those fifteen years. babylon6comic.tumblr.com. The first episode is also up on this da account if you want to see it. It's got its own folder in my gallery.
I'm partial to the latter over the former... the books had so much to work with and missed so many opportunities. It pains me that it's considered generally canon.

Huh okay, I'll look into your stuff. Though I'm kind of surprised that the books were written so poorly, is the writer part of the show's writing staff or someone outside?
Also I'm looking into the sequels of the show, but they haven't got very good reviews, from some stuff I've read.
Should I invest time into watching the attempted spin offs?

Watch the TV movies -- some of them are really bad, but at least they have characters from the show. I watched Crusade (the spin-off series) and it definitely has some weak points but I laughed at it and that is enough to entertain me for sure. The pilot movie is a Must Watch and I thought the sequel/prequel lore film In the Beginning was necessary viewing as well. Everyone's well in character there and it's pretty interesting to see how far everyone's come in terms of character development. Thirdspace takes place during Season 4 and the other two -- Call to Arms and Legend of the Rangers -- take place three years (rangers) and five years (call to arms) after the plotline of the show ends. Call to Arms sets up the conflict for Crusade so that's an important watch. Other than those there's the Lost Tales, two short films made 10 years after the show ended that are also in canon that I recommend watching. I really enjoyed the Sheridan story on that DVD a lot. The Lochley story was okay.
Peter David wrote a couple episodes in the early seasons, which probably qualified him for the job. Like I said, you're welcome to check the books out... perhaps the characterization isn't bad enough to put everyone off as much as it did me, but when you misrepresent Vir and Londo you mess with my children and that simply will not fly. I'll be taking the events of all those films and spinoffs into account in my comic as I slowly churn it out, attempting to close any loopholes, loose ends, or plot gaps that are left between them. That's something else that disappointed me about the books... aside from the events of War Without End, they didn't really take the rest of the series into account in any significant way.
