Description
Full view please.This is an original character I have sneaking around in my head. He has a story that wants to be written someday, when I finally have time. So far he doesn't have a name, only a somewhat shady past. No stealing him. He's mine.
I'm actually really pleased with this image. I spent far more time on details than I normally do and I think it benefits from it.

If you haven't, check out her gallery. It's full of wonderful action and still shots of both males and females, as well as a zoo of animals and some great building and nature shots. I also glanced through some of her ship photos to figure out what a ship deck *might* look like from that angle.
I suspect, in real life, there'd be far more rope.

I don't want to steal him, but I was wondering, may I use him as inspiration for a possible scene for the book I am writing? He's amazing!!

Beautifully done. Facial expression is a bit awkward for me, but fantastic coloring and lighting.

Def benefitted from all your hard work on the details. The clouds, the wind blowing his clothes and hair, the lighting/shadows, scar! so great!

The detail on the arms and his hands is amazing!
Good lord, even I couldn't be bothered adding veins and stuff in
Kudos to you! Lots of kudos!

Kinda reminds me of Wakka from Final Fantasy X

Haven't played FFX... just bought (and am getting my butt kicked at) FFXII--but I'm enjoying it immensely.

Oooh, haven't been able to find FFXII around the shops (not that I've been looking real hard). I've heard it isn't as good, but everyone likes something different

Well, it's my first foray into Final Fantasy, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. But hunky, gorgeous sky pirates with to die for accents go a long way toward winning me over toward a game.
I think I shall go back to making Balthier run about a bit. Mmmm.... leather pants...

i really like this one, he is very awsome

oooohhhh!!! he's so cute! but yeah, i actually went on a boat (they actually had used it in the first potc movie as the dauntless!) and it had way more rope...

I like his pants. That little fraying spot on the right knee is really cool. Though I'd agree that a real ship would have a lot more rope. Beautiful picture, per usual!
