If I didn’t know better I would have thought this was a full-fledged fleshed out character from a fantasy game. Good stuff.

@Arttronik: Yes, I finally got around to showing what I’d consider a “final” state of the work… for the moment. Hahah. If you’d come by, I can show you how I work; there’s really no secret to it at all. Honest.

@Josh: You’re right, sharp-eyed Josh, the blues were a lot more radiant and it was distracting, as pretty as it was, I considered it unnecessary for it to draw attention to his insides. I opted to tone it down so the colors and the detailing will frame his head and torso better. I’m glad the clothing is giving you the impression I intended for it.

and to Richmond & Arttronik, DRAGON BALL FOREVER! To everybody (yes including you guys who didn’t leave around comments on the page itself but private msg’d me): thanks for the digital patronage! You guys are making me look forward more to each coming Monster Monday!

i seem to remember the blues inside his shirt being more glowly.
i love the subtle gradations on the shirt, looks very silky, especially on the jade stitching. the colors all around are phenomenal, and i’m fond of the combination used on the weapon as well. the texture you used for his knees is crazy!

definitely the most professional thing i’ve seen from you.

Dude, this is looking good! I remember seeing this in progress a while ago. Nice to see the awesome final piece! Youll have to show me some of how you color! Man, I need a cintiq!

Darnit! I flubbed the joke! Now i’ll NEVER BE FUNNY!!!!

I’m impressed you’ve been getting concepts and illustrations finished week after week. You’re amassing quite a portfolio.

Imagine how awesome you’ll be in just a few more months if you keep up this momentum.
