You're work is absolutely stunning and deeply inspiring for guys like me hoping to improve their A-game. Literally flawless renderings. But your humility and generosity as an artist is what really shines on DA. Well done, brother!

Thanks. How much ya got? I kid..I'm not sure yet to be honest. I haven't done any official commission with markers yet. Price TBD
Not sure I understand what you mean about the toes.

I mean that his toes are too apparent, too defined though they are in that boot! lol

Ah...I see what you're talking about..it's actually just some ripples in the leather..not meant to look like toes.

It's great!
Though I never heard of white pencil crayon, it's seems great for shading.
No photoshop here?

Thanks. I'm using a standard white Prismacolor color pencil. No crayon in the mix hehe. It works well for highlights as long as you use it over a dark tone. You can barely see it on lighter shades of grey. No Photoshop on this one

Man, this is sick! Amazing technique!! 
Reminds me a bit of Travis Charests stuff.
....argh...envy....

Thanks.. Charest? Really? He's always been an influence on me, but I didn't think it ever really showed anymore.

I think it's more the technique than enything else.

Thanks...I think heh..I hope it doesn't look too smooth. I like to have some hand done characteristics showing through. The scan's been touched up a bit though...blacks flattened and darkened a bit.

you did a phenominal job!

Result is wonderful, it seems like your digital illustration, but a bit warmer

Thanks. The Prismacolor markers have a bit of color in them. Even the Cool greys. They have blue, but when I scan them it shows as a bit of a reddish tint.
