I APPRECIATE COMMENTS MORE THAN FAVS

Please don't leave copy-paste comments (nice, cool, cute, etc.)



Hey guys. just a quick update in my gallery here with the full body of the newest character I came up with Yes, this is the guy from my previous entry
[link]

About the Character

Gus is a 52 years war admiral who spent 36 years in the army. He grew up with an alcoholic father, & his mother was a drug-addict who died when he was 4. Howard's father was abusive to him during his childhood, & at the age of 16, he could no longer tolerate his father's beatings & yells, & joined the military. During his years in there, Howard focused more on his missions, assignments, workouts, & everything relevant to the military than anything else. He never had much of a social life due to how occupied he kept himself, & thus he never had many friends or any relationships. The closest thing to a relationship he had was when he dated a girl at the camps when he was 25, but it didn't last long. No one ever knew why. And despite not having any relationships, he never went a year in his life in the army without any sex.

Never fathering any children during any of his years in the site nor having any full-term relationships, he remained single for those 36 years. Once he left the army, he retired, & has since then remained in his own home. He is a very quiet, & serious person, not really into joking around or doing childish things, easily irritated, & hates annoying, over talkative people, & really hates people who don't speak or type properly, resulting in him not taking them seriously. Despite that, he is rather nice, & has a very humble heart. He is owner of a 1 month-old ragdoll cat named Jasper, & an old Boxer dog friend of his named Orton.

When he turned 35, he had been informed that his father had been shot to death. The news didn't affect him much for he had already forgotten & wiped away his childhood, he paid only one visit to his father's & mother's grave (both were buried together), & never returned.

He enjoys being at home, reading the papers or watching some television. During the mornings he wakes up early to jog, & work out. He is rather solitary, only having a few visits from a few friends. His favorite color is brown, & enjoys country music, & oldies. Howard also knows 12 different languages, including Chinese, Egyptian, Korean, & French. He has also mastered every type of martial arts there is in existence. He currently stands 6'9".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I decided to finally give this guy a full body art I also updated his biography a bit more. As for his ab area, yeah, he's not a gut-stud, those are his abs, they just protrude out due to his age. Not all my older guys have protruding abs like him, but I decided to try out something different.

The rest of his biography is found in my Y!Gallery. It's just one more paragraph, but I didn't add it here because well, it may be too disturbing for some people, & I didn't wanna hear any logic/realism tards bitching to me about how it's not anatomically or scientifically possible for such a thing to happen.

Hope you guys like it :3

His shoulders are quite disproprtionate, but I like the drawing style. Very simple, looks like something you'd see on Cartoon Network.

His right shoulder is quite short, but his left is quite long. You need to make his left shoulder a little smaller, and his right a little larger.

heh, he kinda reminds me of an OC of mine. You did good on the anatomy and proportions, he looks very intimidating.

Wow, that's a lot of languages to learn!

I like his expression, though his head seems a bit too small...or is his body just that big?

KooboriSapphire In reply to CrimzonLogic [2011-11-03 17:31:33 +0000 UTC]

Indeed.

Ehh maybe his head is too small >.< I'll fix that later.

his muscles don't really look like muscles xD they kinda look like fat they're alittle too round XD his shoes need alittle hatching or something it's making the picture unappealing @.@ love the grumpy expression though, that's working good

hope that helped :3

Nice drawing. I like the pixelated design for the pants. The only thing that looks a bit off is that his head seems a but too small for the rest of his body, and maybe the muscles, especially around the elbow, need some touching up too. Other then that, nice job!

Thanks. I'll be sure to check on that next time.

I like the line art. The anatomy needs a little work, and I think you should shade or colour it cause that always makes a picture look more awesome. Your character has a lot of personality so props on that, and I really like the detail you added with the tattoo.

Keep up the great work.

Where would you suggest to fix the anatomy?
