Description Wait, what happened with practice piece # 2 & 3... Well, they sucked. Will do more of these. I love how they do not distract me with colour.



But anyway... what do you suppose transpires here, in these shady alleys!?

When one travels after dark, especially when returning from a clandestine meeting, the presence of a following stranger-perhaps incidental, perhaps not-feels one with caution and trepidation.

I used to work late & play late back in the day, and going back to the car at sometime around/past midnight and then driving home through neighborhoods of dubious repute always got the inner paranoiac up & running. Being tailed by a knife-brandishing thug in or out of a FRPG setting brings it back big time.

Glad the artwork brings back memories, sorry they're not the best of memories though.

No, I sort of was into that mood at the time. I was paranoid about societal breakdown before Y2K made it cool.

This is cool and moody! Reminds me of old, so old RPG campaing I had... I love rain and storms so my players surely felt that during the campaign. I love how you made the water element here - the rain and wet street.

I have said this before and I say this again - your sketches would go as real book illustrations anytime

How/why do you pick these "training" themes?

Thanks J,

I don't really pick them. I start with random brushstrokes and shapes until my eye catches something I recognise, I build from that. As to the why? I need to be better in my values, hope I can translate this in my colour work.

Looks great. Reminds me a bit of the Thief series.

Reminds me of a cross between the Town of Brie from the Tokien universe and Assassins Creed
