Description So my Dad quite likes my work, as I have been showing most of my stuff to him through this site and others, and for Christmas he asked me to draw him in any style/form/manner that I wished.
This presented me with quite the dilemma:
What exactly to do?
My first iteration was to draw him as a daring space captain thwarting off Ridley Scott's Aliens...
But that didn't work out to my liking.
So I put it off until I actually saw him on Christmas Morning...
He wasn't upset once I explained to him that I didn't know what to do, and he suggested, "Draw me as a wild man."
And I says to myself I says, "Well shit. Why didn't I think of that?"
So 10 days later I churned out this little bundle of, what I consider to be, awesome.
He quite liked it and I'll have to get a Hi Resolution image to him soon.

Anyway, he chose wildman, or greenman because he is very much interested in the norse and germanic mythos of the forest dwelling wildman.
Thus his handle being DarrellGreenman.
And the name of this piece.

Not much else to say.
The anatomy was giving me grief but I seemed to have made it through okay, though that invariably leads me to never wanting to do anthing over this beautiful anatomy I've managed to get....maybe I should take some life drawing classes so it doesn't bother me so much.
I dunno....
Anyway, Enjoy!

Now THAT is a masterpiece. All of the little details just boggle the mind. The anatomy is simply awesome and I love the shading. Basically, I love everything about it.

Thanks so much Kya, I was very happy with the shading as well though I didn't do much of it oh his body.

UndeadDeviation In reply to TheGriffinThief [2008-01-13 21:50:13 +0000 UTC]

Yes I do too, though I'm sure if you found your way to a pacific Island or even somewhere in the Caribbean and the surrounding jungle you could find some manner of suitable leaf for hatting.
And thanks!

Aw, this is wonderful!! I'm certain your dad is loving this, as are we all here! What a great posture to put him in: sort of relaxed and slouchy (which, I would venture a guess, is one reason it may have proved a tough anatomy exercise--this type of pose in particular is a challenge to render, but you've done a great job of it with this! )--the extension on the toes is terrific, and the entire thing is detail-rich! Love the gnarled old wood, the hanging cloak and all the "accoutrements" of his forest-dwelling life! A wonderful gift for your father--and wonderful for us too!

FalconFan In reply to UndeadDeviation [2008-01-16 05:44:59 +0000 UTC]

Gosh, I can't see anything in this I'd change--the shading is perfectly done for the style, and the ease of the figure is just lovely... No--can't think of a single thing! Great piece!

I've been trying to entice people into advanced critique as of late, and I trust your judgement on the matter.

I hate drawing warped wood.
But I like how this came out.
Any suggestions on how to improve?

Kimmy-Sama In reply to UndeadDeviation [2008-01-14 15:42:02 +0000 UTC]

Not really... you draw so well! The only thing I notice in the whole picture is that his left (left for him, right for us) leg seems a little... off. Like its not the right length but then he is bending the knee so I guess that could be why.

You draw so fantastic!!

UndeadDeviation In reply to Kimmy-Sama [2008-01-15 00:35:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it's supposed to be bent.
His thigh is forshortened.
And thank you!
But I can always improve.

Is there a specific part of the detail that you enjoyed?

frasergj In reply to UndeadDeviation [2008-01-13 14:13:05 +0000 UTC]

I like it all.
But... I like how you did the stick he's holding, the wood, and my personal favourite, the turtle shell. I love how you kinda have a pattern on the shell, It looks... funky :]

UndeadDeviation In reply to frasergj [2008-01-13 14:14:05 +0000 UTC]

Ha thanks!
That shell pattern gave me alot of grief at the time...
I had no reference though...
Perhaps that could help.
