Well, technically, that's not descriptive of the art I'm posting, but whatev.

I've been pretty MIA for the past who-knows-how-long. And I've missed the ol' PJ board. I've been gone dealing with personal stuff as well as being busy with a few art things here and there.
So let's see how long I can last posting with semi-regularity until I disappear again.


I'm sure you were expecting a post with some hot chicks or something. But instead here's a self-portrait, and that's almost as good. The chicks will come later.



And the pencils in case anyone was interested in seeing just how much the colors carry this piece.



As always, critiques are welcomed and appreciated.

Dammit. I've seen this on Deviantart already... Regardless, it's a sweet illustration, and it's always good to have you posting again - I definitely look forward too seeing more!

[dfbovey]

Awesome. Hope you're here to stick around for a while.

Hey. Thanks for all the welcome-backs and the kind words.

hades,
I was actually considering leaving it flat, just black hair and a light skin tone. So, funny you should mention Nagel.

krikkit,
Um...sorry? I can't really show much of my newer stuff, so I'll be posting some more old deviantart stuff. Hopefully I get my sketchbook scanned in soon; I haven't put any of that stuff up anywhere.

As for the colors, it's Photoshop. I don't have Painter and have no clue how to use it.

Thanks again for the replies.
