It's all good, I'll leave all the pictures with decapitation, severed limbs, and torture out of thefret. . . I bet at least one of you thought that was a joke

Here's the other two. . . No decapitations, yet. . .

These are all very different from what I normally do, which I'll get a couple of my actual portfolio on here.

I was talking to Warren about drawing and stuff and mentioned putting some of mine up, and he was like 'go for it' so here's a couple. . .

These drawings are very different to what I usually do - it's all about trying new things out right now. Setting foundations for everything I'll be wanting to learn in the future - right around now is when the way I learn changes and it will become more difficult to grasp new concepts, so I've tried grasping as many new concepts as I could over past 3 years.

The first is (me) a dude sitting on a ledge looking out over a scene. I was trying to 'texture' and 'shade' the background using only lines done by a pen.

The second is my study on perspective and backgrounds - the latter being a particular weakness of mine.

The last is my 2nd ever (or 3rd, I can't remember) watercolour. And it's a black mage. . . My version of a black mage. . . I love black mages. . . Final Fantasy Rocks!

The former two are pretty much true-scale pictures. . . they were done on A5 sized paper - if you Americans ( ) take a sheet of normal college-ruled paper, and fold it in half (touch the top to the bottom) then you get about the same size paper as A5. (and that proves my 'Americanality. . . there is no such thing as 'college ruled' paper in England, only A1-A6 - lines or no)

I've got about 150-200 more, but for now, these three will do. I'll add about 5 or 10 more when I get the chance - they will show off my 'trademark' fine-detail. When I say fine, I mean fine. . .

I just hope people here aren't. . .uh. . .squeamish. . .

That's cool! :AOK:
Looks like the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II mascot.

That's actually scarily similar to the black mage! Here are the images that every black mage I draw is based off of. . . The original is the concept art design by Yoshitaka Amano :master:

The next is the concept design after it had been processed through the 'Final Fantasy Machine'.

And this is what they used to look like. . . Before they became their own race. . .
