Description I wanted to get a more painterly feel for some of my works feel I tried doing a "speed painting" thing which resulted into this 3 hours later (lol, like i said, i tried XD btw, speed paintings ive seen are only done in like 1.5 hours -_-). It's still not as detailed and not as well done like the other bajillion master pieces here on DA, but I hope you folks will still appreciate the end result ^^

Silver jumping down into who knows what. Freely have your own interpretation for this one, I have mine

And of course, where ever Silver is, you will find Spirit silently following. I enjoy painting Spirit more than Silver actually <3

You don't really see it here but Silver is supposed to have silverish eyes (hence the name). And I know that he somewhat resembles Gatsu from Berserk but I honestly did not forge him with Gatsu in mind. it was purely coincidental i suppose. Besides, Silver isn't as muscular and scarred as Gatsu is. I think its just coz of the hair. and that scarf (which is honestly very cliche considering its red, but the color just went so well with the overall image >.<

Done in photoshop with a Wacom graphire 3 tablet.

note: this will be available for print soon.

When you say detail, are you just talking the sheer amount of gear and stuff or are you talking textural richness? I think in terms of the action and the attitude you've got it going. I know I can't do this kind of work to save my life. My stuff takes days, so three hours and this is a nice result.

thanks man! I actually mean both of the things you pointed out. Everytime i finish something that quick, im satisfied with it initially but after a while when i look at it again, it all seems so bland for some reason. T__T

I think that these characters of yours are the most amazing ones you've got. I don't know, it could just be the way you draw them.

Love the verse too, by the way.

tubenose In reply to Joe-Ashaman [2006-07-08 04:24:46 +0000 UTC]

thanks so much Joe!

These two characters mean alot to me. I think its because alot of things about them are born from my own personal life in someway.

Im really glad you enjoy them as much as I do! greatly appreciated, sir

Thanks! the scarf is actually a bit too cliche for me but like you said, it just suits him with this piece i suppose ^^

ShadowLotus2 [2006-07-06 18:10:41 +0000 UTC]

Bah, no worries about the time thing. My speed paintings take so long because my regular paintings take mammoths time . ANyway, on to the picture. I really like the pose of the character. and the colors you used. Its great. Also the style of the clothing reminds me of something post moder mercenary.

I think to have heled the action, the hair be facing the opposing direction. Who knows, its so short so maybe it doesn't have the fluidity it needs anywho. Good stuff. +10 for the shotgun!

tubenose In reply to ShadowLotus2 [2006-07-07 00:53:41 +0000 UTC]

haha! Yeah mine generally take around 8-12 hours i think if i just take my time on them...or more when im just a totall procrastinator

Thanks so much! its always a pleasure getting feedback from you The green-yellowish color combo seemed perfect for post apocalyptic era and yeah I wanted him to have a suit that actually looked...dirty or mercenary-ish, like you said. He travels alot so, yeah. lol.

I just realized that hair thing. lol i wasnt paying attention. although, like you said, there is that possibility that it may be too short to have such fluidity in them (because my own hair is somewhat similar) but I think I still should have fixed the ones on his face >.<

Thank you so much ShadowLotus! Highly appreciated!
