I'm intrigued by this character. He seems scholarly, a little less 'tough guy' than some of the other stuff you've done; I like that he has a very small weapon. The gigantic book adds a lot, too. XD

He does look a bit off in proportions but your style works well with most of it. The detail you put into the clothing is what really makes this drawing stand out to me. Nice job man.

Careful with your proportions, it appears to have a lot of unintentional wonky-ness. The most notable of these ares are the extremely long arms, his neck is also far too long. One of the upper arms is longer than the other as well. I know its just a commission, but theres no reason you cant get more accurate proportions in. This may sound a bit skewed towards the negative, but i think you can handle it.

Thanks, It's traditional then tweaked in photoshop, I use brightness contrast>sharpen>blur 7.0>cutout filter.

Not bad! I've only got a limited use to a computer at the momment so i'm working with straight traditional. I got a tablet to try digital inks too...lol.
Let me ask you something, where or how long have you been learning how to color? I've dabbled into the stuff but it's sort of difficult without a good program, but the color useage you have is very stylized, i'm impressed. (That don't happen too often.)

well I used to use prismacolor pencils about... 12 years ago, so thats where I got some experience with color. I bought a wacom intuos 3 about 2 years ago, and that's when I started working with digital colors. I would recommend watching :iconztransis:'s live streams of him coloring his stuff. He gave me lots of good tips.
Your stuff is also pretty impressive for only drawing for 3 years.

Hmm, i bought a set of prismas and sort of left them in the shoe box after awhile lol. I have NO idea how to use them. I heard of something called a colorless blender, but i'm not sure what they are or how they work.
My wife got me a wacom bamboo last year. It's a great tablet for coloring but i've never used it to ink or draw, not sure if it's accurate enough, and i prefer hand drawn and paper. I'll have to purchase a PC sometime soon and get some totourials and watch that guys live streams. Anything to learn is a plus for me.
Thanks much. It's been a long road. I started with some pretty weak skills, and i'm always studying and trying to improve upon my work. I'm just hoping in five years i'll have learned enough and had access to more tools to become what i see in my mind.
