This is what happens when I get really bored at work unable to find something to do. I haven't drawn in a very long time and was looking for something different to add to my sig. Comments and critiques always welcome.

That looks really great man. Reminds me of the old school Conan artwork.

Can you say talent? Looks great man. I can barely draw a stick figure so you are like Picasso to me. :clap:

I'm the same way, fantastic job Aanio!

All good but from what I would like, this is just me *hides*, is change the eyes a bit. I know he is supposed to look angry/exhausted/ready for battle but those eyes.... :)

Everything else is awesome though

I like it very much but you have opened up a can of worms...*jots down Aanio's name for future reference*

*chuckles* Aye or a port with a good internet connection I can use my laptop with. I finally got it to load. Very nice drawn :clap: , once you know me in game well enough personality wise & playstyle. I'll probably ask you to make me a sig based on what you've learned =)

Dude, take this the right way...but WTF?

You have a talent like this and you aren't using it? Fantastic drawing, very clean and well proportioned. Tap into that muse and start drawing again mate.

I agree with Notleh, draw your heart out, your great at it!!

Aanio

Thanks for all the great replies! To respond to just a few...

Notleh, I mostly draw for myself and not to make money. I tried that many years ago by attempting to get into the comic book industry, which if you don't know is very hard. You have to take a lot, and I mean A LOT of criticism and deal with many failing attempts. I dealt with too many and lost the passion along the way. I even inked an entire 22 page book that never got published and I never saw a dime for.

Xantheous, been there before and no worries as long as you don't have me drawing teletubbies or the power rangers... ;-)

Darg, I'll try different ideas with the eyes but the overall shadowing will probably stay the same. Thanks for the critique!

Again thanks for the comments, it's good to know my art can still impress and it brings some passion back to what I used to do. If you want, check out my deviantart page. http://lordkai.deviantart.com

Wow, you have a lot of really great art. I like the demonangel, and drizzt doodles, and re-psystrike.

I'm an artist as well.. but not nearly as skilled as you are. *envy*

I use to draw all the time during classes (in high school) but now.. I'm always gaming, so I don't draw much. I've really let my skill go down the drain. :( I use to be half way decent, but now I just sort of scribble.

Keep posting stuff as you create 'em, I'd love to see them!

I have actually looked at your Deviant Art portfolio! When I was looking for artwork for the video i saw that dark elf!

If you are interested, how about drawing an AoC logo? A Hyborian themed spider or Lloth the spider goddess? No pressure, but that would be sweet to have some original art!

An armored spider mount? Hell yeah :evil:

That would be awesome! I tired drawing my own spider for my lame logos, but it was clear that it wasn't happening for me.

Dude.. get the damn passion back! If it wasnt replaced by something else that is. If you are passionate about what you do now then its all good if you arent. Your just :jerkit: If a bad experience took the passion out it is probably not really gone just buried way down there somewhere. People that can get recognition (even if not compensation) for things that they are passionate about have a level of content that not many get. I hope you find it again some day.

Oh and let me be the first worm out of the can. So far no one has come forward to do my tempest of set signature if your in need of material :icon_mrgreen: ;-) ;-) ;-)

edit. Doh bout 6 posts while I wrote this make that second worm. :)

not bad at all. the arm (his right arm) could use a little something. the forshortning seems off. But other than that i really dig it.

I got a BA in Digital art and after I got it I havent picked up a single pencil. I really need to sit down and draw again one day. 6 figure drawing classes going to waste lol ... such is life.

that's some great artwork. reminds me a lot of the guy i used to sit next to in my art class...


He's the reason I decided to focus more on writing

(ha ha)


keep up the good work!
