I guess I haven't been gone that long
 

But I still can't remember what the last thing I posted was ;3 I'd just like to say that I did this entirely with the mouse, it took me about an hour and a half and I'm quite proud :D I'm not quite sure I've got the momentum and posture correct, but what I'm proud of is the fact that I used no line tools, predefined shapes or objects or anything to do that, the only tools used were the brush tool, lightness up brush and lightness down brush.

Click and fear me

Fear him too o_o

Just mouse? Damn that's good... :D I'm not even sure there's any real problems with his pose either, apart form being a big unbalanced. Perhaps that describes the character too. Unbalanced. ;)

Thanks :) It certainly could have been worse, after that and my keyboard got drenched in a rainstorm... some drunken idiot left my velux windows open- somehow the monitor etc were miraculously spared. I got him back by telling him the next morning that he'd defecated in the spare bedroom. Just the look on his face was worth buying a new keyboard for. But yeah, I've been drawing with the mouse ever since I was 10 on my dad's Atari ST, so even though my hands shake a lot, they're pretty steady when it comes to that thing. (Suddenly I've started a search for a disk containing my first ever real piece of computer art)

Yeah, I'd say he's unbalanced o_o;; And I just realised that the hand holding the sword should be the other way up, though that's trivial...
