I hate my scanner.
This is Bard the Bowman, Son Of Girion, Slayer of Smaug, Last King of Old Dale, First King of New Dale (which is also what the moon runes say)!
From one of the best books of all time, J. R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit.'
I've always wanted to draw him. What a supreme badass. Thranduil and Thorin are in the corner segments, and Smaug is beneath the crescent and Lake Town is burning in the background.
I really wish I had a good scanner. I'm fairly proud of this.

He lights the fire behind my eyes
And he lets it there and I let it lie

I was thinking about this character the other day and how he kind of reminded me of the Brawny paper towel guy, the old one with the thick mustache, or that's at least how I pictured him. But I definitely like your view of the character way more than mine.

What I love about your work is the absence of pupils, in half the work you do. 99% of the time, in my opinion, that would detract from the subject and even make a little lifeless, but in your work it does quite the opposite. It actually brings them to life and conveys a deep and hard emotion.

I also love your use of blues in everything you do.

Grape on the vine. Why not be crushed, to make wine.
inda reminds me of some kind of tarot card...
Fantastic. I adore your work.

This is fucking awesome, I want this on my wall as well. He looks like a 300-esque Bard, and the changing perspective on the ring shape in the background is fantastic too. Super hearts for the moon runes too.
Gorgeous. Bard never has gotten a sufficient amount of love, if you ask me. Nice inclusion of the little bird, too.
