Description EDIT: here is the in progress color [link]

THIS IS WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE LATELY!!!
UGH! This line work is taking forever. But I thought I'd post what I've been working on among other things. I also went on a mini-vacation so yeah...

Anyway I decided that my art is not dynamic enough and to become an illustrator I should work on some of my weaknesses.
Monsters, Landscape, Action, Buildings - all which I like to do and get ideas for but they don't turn out the way I like. So I take the easy rout and draw a naked chick. well, NO MORE I TELL YOU!


I am challenging my abilities to the limit. I even started a new art book in which ever page is something challenging or in a new style, all are dynamic. So I will be scanning that in soon. Any of the new scans I upload this week will be from my old art book. I want to only produce the best of the best...so I give you the line work of
THE BATTLE OF STORMS!!!! (dun dun dun)

I decided instead of doing separate pieces for each weakness I would do the whole shabang in ONE PIECE!
GASP!!!!!
So behold! Fighting with perspective, rain, landscape, A CASTLE!!!, Monsters (troll/orcs), armor, leaping about and epicness. To put this together I used 30, that's right!
30 reference photo's. Nothing is from one thing.....
(catching my breadth)
Whew

Anyway I'm not sure of some of the colors. So If you have any suggestions let me know. (like her hair...red would be too Red Sonja and brunette would disappear in the night, but she's wearing gold armor)

So yeah.
EPIC!
Watch this it's hilarious!!! [link]
And see this trailer it's freaking amazing!
+ I love the song (where the Wild thins Are)

Oh and speaking of songs I'm obsessed with this one...

about 8 hours of line work If I count reference scouting. Some parts I took my time and made clean lines, others I zoomed out and quickly drew out of desperation. lol
you probably can tell...that makes more work for me. Now I have to clean the lines....
As you can tell I like the girl too.
Thank you so much for the comments. I really love them,my new favorite person.
