Description Deril Jennings casting the favored fire spell. Go him. He's one of my Turbatus characters... and he's been severely neglected lately. Along with everyone else's characters. Sorry guys. I drew this at work, with a .5 mm mechanical pencil and an eraser. The face is based, roughly, off of Ben Jelen's.

The whole positioning and mood of this is beautiful! ;3 I really adore how you show the expression on his face, and your rendition of hands is very impressive. I almost want to see you go in with some charcoal or a darker pencil and add a few darker darks to make the light seem even more intense. If you can take this out of the middle gray value range but still maintain the gentle care you seem to consider when you shade, this could be something much more than a doodle done at work.

Thank you very much for the critique! I was debating putting it through a contrast filter in Photoshop, but unfortunately, my computer at home is broken, and I have limited time on my work computer for non-business related stuff. One of these days I'll go over the pencil lines with charcoal or a softer lead (I like that idea!), and rescan it. The original sketch is only about the size of the average game manual for PCs.

I appreciate the time you took out to give me constructive criticism... ::bows:: Thank you again!

Deril has mad magic skills, I see. Great lighting effects, I like the little swirly bits up on the left side of the picture. His hair kind of goes all over the place too...it's neat. Nice to see that you're still drawing now and again.

He's... so... PRETTY... my god.

*cough* Seriously I love the effect of the fire. The shading is all perfectly done and his hair... I'm so in love with his hair. *shuts up and stares more*

Wow... Reminds me of Alucard .
I'm amazed. Hard to believe it was done with a mechanical pencil.

It's too long since I've seen something by you, Teenie! <333 It's my other pet Scotsman! (yes, Deril is worth having two. xD and he gets WELCOMED ravishings, so it all works out)

I love his hair, and his hand, and the spiffy magic, and EVERYTHING about it. You rock.

That's a beautiful image, sharp and very clear.

I love the pose and the shading, and the spell effects definitely make the picture seem more dynamic.

I'm also very jealous of your ability to make figures with long hair actually look masculine. That's something that i'm working on at the moment!

Anyway, it's gorgeous. Keep up the good work.
