Description I am going to try to upload some more sketches into this place. I haven't had much time to dedicate to any bigger projects lately so in the meantime I hope some of these can suffice.

This piece is an experiment in texture.  There are a few things that I like to think about when I draw.  I think that there is a beauty in imperfection. While I enjoy seeing whether I can render something as close to lifelike as I can, it is not really my goal. I prefer it more when the looseness and the feel of the unpolished and unfinished self still shines through. Chaos is nice in my book. My biggest goal is not to make something translate perfectly to the viewer in a visual sense. I want viewer to feel the picture and not just see it. In a crazier sense, I want the brushstrokes alone to tell the story.

That said, have another strange Leviathan piece.

This game looked sick but I never really got around to playing it
I play Guilty Gear and Blazblue and stoof and for that I love Arc Systems, and after a bit of digging, I found out that this game is supposedly part of the Contra series. XD
Contra was like the only game I ever played for the NES. Seeing the style clash is... amusing and cool to me all at once [link]

I have the most unhealthy love for this game, I think it is absolutely awesome. I think the style clash has a lot to do with why they got rid of "Contra" from the title but that won't stop me from calling it a Contra game, haha

Experimentation with textures is never a bad thing.

Pretty badass. I can see what you are trying to do here.
With these things you want the brushstrokes to be seen, so you think of their direction, sort of imagining a stream of strokes and think of composition with it. Fun stuff.
