Wow! I had to double check that this was traditional. That's awesome work. It's awesome how to left the white areas in just the right places to make the effect of light glowing in from the outside. The crosshatching is all really good too. I can zoom in and see you have all your lines going intentionally in certain directions to create certain textures.
Since I'm commenting with ProjectComment I'll note a few things which I think could be improved upon as well. I think some of the areas lack contrast which makes it hard to distinguish some objects. I have to zoom and look good to see that it is someone with a racoon on their back on the inside? I mean it's still very well done but a bit hard to make out because the entire area is most "dark on dark". The same goes for the white areas of the outside and the guy's body. At first glance I thought his head was kinda just floating there. I had to zoom in to see the fine lines for his body. So again it was a bit of a contrast problem.
Anyway, those are just some nitpicks. I love this type of drawing style and you've inspired me to pick up a pen myself and do some crosshatching again

Thank you!
It make some proud to know you doubt if was traditional or not
Yeah, in this one was done in a very big sheet of paper,it's so easy to get lost while inking that I got carried away with the contrast, my bad. But nothing a little Photoshop magic can't improving, after all, I want all details to look clean. But don't worry, I listed all the flaws to keep improving, you can't rely on Photoshop forever
That's the best part of the comment! You inspired me as well, so let's promise not let each other down and keep creating awesome art

Once again I'm awe stuck by your amazing usage of ink and textured shading. You have such a lovely scenery going on and different materials stand out from one another so nicely. Your emphasis on light and shadow is also stunning. This image also has a great layout and I like how the background frames the characters and leads the viewer's eye. This drawing also perfectly tells the story you've written on your description - you've really manage to make the man look huge yet not too intimidating. The details are also very beautiful, especially the metallic parts.
My only nitpick would be the smaller character on the foreground - I get that the giant dude is in the center of attention, but the smaller one sort of blends in the background and the dude's cloth. At first I didn't even notice her there. You have some nice white highlights on her but I think they could be a tad more prominent to really make her pop from the background - or his legs and cloth could be less contrasted and have lighter shadows so that it would appear that he is further away from the character on the front.
Keep up the great work!

Awwm thank you, this kind of comments is what keeps me going and improving
Damn, I can't believe the solution was so simple :0 before I finished I spend some times trying to figure it out how to make both characters stand out, I focused so much on the composition that I forgot a soft shading could help with that
Thank you again for all the time and energy you put on this comment β‘(> ΰ¨ <)β‘

I've been drawing like that a lot lately, so this one hits close to home.
I don't really know why the big man's skin is so white, but that may have something to do with the story behind this.
This is from a game anyway.

More or less XD
Everyone always point it out, is part of my style, I never shade skin, just in very especial occasions

Well it can work.
What ever floats your boat.
I'll try not to mention it again.

It's okay, no harm done XD
Everyone who sees my work for the first time is always kinda confused if my pieces are finished or not
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I get that.

Sorry if this comes across as rude, but how come there's heavy sharing on 90% of the piece, but none on his skin? It just seems a little odd to shade everything so detailed but leave the skin parts as lineart. Especially since the shading is so well done, I'd love to see more of it.

Haha no,it's ok, my bro XD
If you check the rest of my gallery you'll see this a common occurrence

Perfect! Could u draw my o.c Persephone with Muriel? This might be long so bear with me!
Persephone is a apprentice of the magic arts. Persephone and Muriel were once friend when they were children. Asra, Muriel, and Persephone were orphans and decided to stick together, trying to survive on the streets. Muriel and Persephone were really close till one day, Muriel disappears, leaving Persephone alone. Several years later before the plague started, Persephone went to the colosseum and that is where she first sees the βScourge of the Southβ fighting another man, but end up killing him. But the whole reason why she came to the games was that Count Lucio asked her to come and heal his champion fighter. After the game she goes down to the cells where Muriel was held. Muriel fears and hates Persephone at first, but after a brief moment of kind calming presence, he lets her heal him. And that was their routine every time there was a game. The two grown close, maybe even lovers. Persephone couldnβt bear to see in caged up like an animal and helped him escape. With the help of Asra, they were able to find a perfect hiding spot for Muriel to live. For the next few weeks, Persephone always came to visit Muriel and spend loving moments with each other. Sadly, after the plague hit causing Persephone to die. Muriel wanted to use the Forget-Me-Nots potion to forget about her, but couldnβt bear to lose the last thing of her.
Persephone has maroon-brown (or red) long curly hair in this style: (pin.it/re6lgip3ybn65n ) with pearls in her hair. Persephone has this color eyes: (sta.sh/02gk7g4doiwg ). She wears this wrap/shawl and this is what the pattern on the shawl: (sta.sh/01cennrqmsri ). Wearing a long strapless gown that goes to her ankles (she doesnβt wear shoes), wearing this necklace: (sta.sh/0se8qfrbw3d ). This is what she looks like:
Have both Persephone and Muriel doing this pose: (pin.it/megqzzrsk4nro7 ).
