Description Hurrah! It's [finally] done

I've just been writing so much lately that my sketchbook has gotten left on the table gathering dust. It's a sad thing, really, especially because I have these great ideas of things I want to draw but whenever I try I get impatient really fast and have to stop for fear of messing something up.

Anyway, I was afraid this was going to look hideous but the more I shaded and the more I worked on it the better it looked. David Boreanaz was used for reference -- and here I thought Jim Caviezel has oddly-shaped lips. I tried to fix them to look a bit more Carth-like but they still look a tad strange in my opinion.

My cat was very intrigued by the tiny pencil strokes I was using for the goatee/stubble and she kept lurking and staring at me...

Anywho, done over like 3 days total (with a 2-3 week hiatus in between) with pencils that I can't even remember because it was too long ago. I know there was a 3B and a 6H in there somewhere.

Mmm... Carth... Unfortunately he does not belong to me, but rather to BioWare and LucasFilm

Awesomesauce! I totally love how the emotion and trust-mixed-in-with-weariness is mixed into his expression so seamlessly.

And the trademark hair and jacket... is all I can say.

Whoa I totally didn't even mean to do that -- I just went by the reference photo! But now that you mention it I totally see those elements in the expression Thanks!

lol I learned more about grammar while taking Spanish than I ever did in any English classes -- I guess I've still got a knack for it (albeit small) because I could at least understand what you just said without having to translate it

Oh wow, it looks just like him. Pretty sure I was just playing KotOR and he delivered that line where he calls the female player "beautiful." Lol gotta love Carth.

Anyway, I must say you nailed his hair especially. Looks awesome!

lol thanks! Yeah his lines crack me up -- it's crazy fun to tease him and argue with him the entire game Poor guy kinda gets bashed, but he's still awesome!

This is a really great Carth! Don't you hate how you can only have one obsession at a time? Lol, at least that means that whatever is the current media of creative expression, gets a full blast of attention. Looks great!

Fischmeister4 In reply to AshleyKayley [2012-02-07 05:19:03 +0000 UTC]

lol thanks! My problem is that my creativity just doesn't distribute evenly -- not to mention I have a limited amount of time in which I must choose either writing or drawing because both isn't an option... *sigh*

Wwaaaaiittt for iiiiitt......



It look AMAZING!!!! I think his lips look great, the shading makes them look realistic!
DAT HAIR! Looks soooo....Carth!!

Fischmeister4 In reply to CortosisKylee [2012-02-07 00:37:47 +0000 UTC]

lol but it still doesn't even do him justice! I wish there was a way to take images from your head and just copy them right down on paper -- then we'd definitely have something nice to look at

Fischmeister4 In reply to CortosisKylee [2012-02-07 05:19:52 +0000 UTC]

I know! And then I could also use it to make videos of my story so I could actually see entire scenes instead of just drawing single characters all the time! Let's invent one!

Wow, I've been doing the same thing, writing like crazy and doing no drawing, but I'm trying again now XD
By the way this looks sweet, I love the hair

Fischmeister4 In reply to Mizae [2012-02-07 00:36:47 +0000 UTC]

That's kinda what I'm doing -- trying my best to balance the two. So far it's sort of working, but we'll see how long that lasts

But thanks! I keep getting comments on the hair and I didn't think it turned out all that great

Mizae In reply to Fischmeister4 [2012-02-07 13:14:10 +0000 UTC]

yeah, luckily though for me right now I'm only in the research and outlining stage of my next book, so I don't have much writing to do
