Atrin

[sunflower]

So a small something that I've been working on for a certain friend of mine who may or may not be getting a year older today.

 

Anyway.

 

Here's Atrin, Valkyr who transformed from a Toa of Sonics who was completely badbutt. 'nuff said.

 

Despite saving as a .jpg, the file is still quite large.

 

Took me about two hours to sketch completely, and another two to color in Photoshop CS5.

 

The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the symmetry. I mean, it's pretty bad.

 

 

But it's a present.

 

And I need to get myself a tablet to color these better.

 

 

krayzikk mah bro happy birthday

 

(and so then he goes and messes with it, and comes up with this and this, and i must say, um. wow. Like, really wow.)

 

As always, C&C welcome.

Wow. Thats really awesome man. I love the shading.

I really like the overall drawing in general, just wish I could see the whole body so I know how the feet look.

Really nice. I like the torso armor, it looks really good. I especially like the wings, though the feathers look somewhat messy, a bit. Overall, nice drawing.

It took me far too long to pop in here to offer my opinion (Even though I already did so on Skype ).

 

Grav, thanks again for an absolutely awesome birthday present. You did a wonderful job of capturing how I always envisioned him. The feathers, though somewhat messy, seem stylistic-ly so, and I rather like it.

 

Now you just need to bring your dragon back, and we can have a Dragon Rider Valkyr.
