It's been so long, I almost thought that I forgot how to draw...
Sketch done in Graphite Pencil.
This is Kyltania Dromedes, a very longstanding character of mine that I have role- played. She started out as a Morrowind character which Damien came up with the name for. For some time I RPed her in World of Warcraft as the town's evil sorceress, though over time she kind of developed into an anti-hero type personality. I've even tried to kill her off several times, however she became so well-liked by the other role players they insisted I keep her around. This is her most recent face which is partially disfigured. It's refreshing to play a very unattractive, yet confident character. The other side of her face and body is still marred up by magical rune scars that are ever-changing.
I am attempting to go for a more realistic feel to my drawings. Don't get me wrong, I love the comic work, however my portfolio needs more variation. Just a few things to prove that "I can do this."
People are horribly biased to you when all they see is comic work, they don't seem to think you can draw realism. They don't realize that in order to do good comic work you also need a good background in realism as well. It's also the same way with digital vs. traditional art. Some people don't even consider it art as they are either afraid of computers or don't know how to use them. You don't just press a button and a great picture pops up--it takes a ton of skill!
It's a little intimidating attempting to draw again after putting it down for several years, however I am enjoying it profusely.
