see now it's way less threatening.

sculpting the face and suddenly I gotta fight all for one.

Now to the next stage

At this stage it's just roughs and ideas. Trying to solve problems of layout and perspective. Then over the next week I start honing the ideas and get my bases down and block sections in and then refine till I run out of time. And then it'll be January!

Fully tournament legal.

And I'll leave you alone after this one, I promise.

Thank you for viewing my art and not dismissing it out of hand for the style. Please enjoy some of my dumb sketches.

I'm still not good at it though. Haha.

But I appreciate you looking at art and thinking about the creation of it. It's a weird time we are in now. before you only had the creators intention, but now we have to wonder if there truly was a creator at all, or if it is some digital amalgamation.

Art is very important in my house. Not to get all pretentious, but it really is an expression of emotion and a connection to the soul. My kids are in art school, my wife and I paint and create tactile art projects, and I have hundreds of sketchbooks full of dumb things. I draw every single day.

But I assure you I am a real human doing real human art with 25 years of Photoshop and digital art, and 3 years of trained studio arts. Here is a photo from the art table at foot of my bed, messy as hell, guarded by a ferocious beast.

They look AI as hell, and I felt that while drawing them. I think because it is an easy chibi-ish style, it's something ai churns out in droves.
The color grading is due to the retro supply co paper texture packs and comic palette I used. The table backgrounds are from pexels, and I hope not AI.
