Working on completing a portrait from a reference. Going to do one more proportion check to make any adjustments necessary and then start some shading!
This was probably one of the first pieces I have done where I used a reference photo for inspiration. I usually just use them for anatomy and perspective, but this time I stuck to the basic idea of the photo. (I still changed a lot tho, haha)
It's Monk Kirby! Did you ever wonder what Kirby would look like if he swallowed a monk and copied his power (or joined our Order)? Lol. Well this is how! Haha more specifically if he copied me and my power of the Beard too. ^_^ (I used Solid Snake and Link Kirbys for reference. ) He would be a good monk, doesn't talk too much. heh. but he would probably eat everything in the monastic pantry so maybe not. lol.

This is the very first charcoal portrait I ever made. I think I spent about 25 hours on this piece over the course of a week. Portrait Model is a Japanese singer (Gackt) and a reference photo was used. Size is 18x24 inches.
This is a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but it's humanized! I loved making this, it was so fun! I will now answer some questions that some of you might comment on this beauty! "What do the black and silver stripes on the torso represent?" Those stripes are supposed to be a direct reference to the grille on the 2011 Grand Cherokee. "Why is it gold? There are lots of better colors!" Sure, there are lots of color choices on the 2011 Grand Cherokee, but gold was my personal preference. "What is that silver thing on her waist? Why does it say Grand Cherokee?" In 2011 through 2013, The Grand Cherokee was in its WK2 generation. These model had a chrome bar with the words "Grand Cherokee" in all caps carved into the chrome, this was on the driver's side door like always. "Why's she so FAT?" She's supposed to be fat, because the WK2 Grand Cherokees were bigger than the past generations at the time.
This is my first drawing of Aang, so cut me some slack lol. The head is way too tilted, but I like it. Drawing software: Procreate ; Reference Image: A google search.
Finally had a day to sit and scribble, first day in a long time. It's fast and loose, but I like how it turned out, and I had fun! My reference was a toy squirrel; but, I think love and death are a bit more interesting. Done in Photoshop.

Making original characters is fun. This outfit was made up of weathered clothing and recycled material for a nuclear apocalypse and dangerous desert life. It doesn't look like it'll fit hot climates tho
