Description
Ian o' Shea- in progressa digital painting for ~Basenji123, and the many others who've requested this character from stephenie meyer's The Host, im so sorry it took me ages to tackle this...but i did it, 48 hours or so- and im not sure its totally done yet but its 3:20am right now and im going to sleep!
Some crit would be appreciated from anyone who is knowledgable in the ways of digital painting, i'm really just guessing for the most part on certain techniques
FULLVIEW to see the details that i worked oh so hard on
Made in cs3 with my new bamboo wacom tablet (woot!)
And HOLY HECK, 10,000 PAGEVIEWS, thats insane!!

I always pictured Ian with a more playful, rounded face. (like someone who likes to joke a lot)

Eeep! That's exactly how I imagined him. HE LOOKS LIKE EMMETT. But with blue eyes. I think of Kyle and Ian as Emmett's twins almost. I love the hair. I wanna touch it. xD
