Progress of this piece - [link]

As i am fleshing this guy out into an original character of mine rather than just a random drone, i am dropping the 'Bladed Elf' title.
All that i'll say so far is that he's an Elvish warlord with bad attitude.

Took a lot of your helpful comments into account, both in creating the character (pushing the reasoning for his unusual size and build as an Elf, thus his unique warlord role) as well as anatomical corrections. Ugh, i could not believe the nutty amount of errors i had packed into this thing.

Corrections from sketch are as follows:

- Torso problem: Shortened his torso by condensing abdominals as well as the leather strap across his stomach.

- Head too small: Proportions in this style are exaggerated, though a slight increase in the size of his head helped with the torso issue, as well as overall scale.

- His left (sword wielding) arm looked disjointed: Lowered his left shoulder, and raised/thickened that arm's bicep.

- His left hip was hugely disjointed from left thigh: Cut left leg into three sections, rotating leg and replacing armor as needed to restructure his stance correctly.

- Also added a small circle preview of how the shading is coming along. Yay!

Again, i REALLY appreciate all of the helpful suggestions on that original sketch.

Still far to go, but hopefully this will give you an idea of the direction i'm taking the bad boy. More suggestions are welcomed as always.
