Hey Dekal, been looking at you're stuff for a long time! You usually hit the mark with your characters and I like the Steve mcqueen thing you've got goin up there. Then upon rememberance the other guy might be some derivative of Statham. If you're going to spend so much time doin these tho, you might consider keeping consistent with the personality memes. Although Stevie is a a bad mofo of the genre Statham is an Englishman if not modern imitator of the newer offtakes of the old movies. Also the girl here is more hootchie, not to be negative, but you might try going more pinup withit even if you use a black character. Saw a great movie called "Gang of Roses" you might look at. Sundown!

[Caio Monteiro]

amazing stuff man!!!

[DeKal]

Metal Fingers - thanks dude.
Bombur - thanks
GRMC - thanks man
RBeek - thanks dude. hope you did somethin good
Bones Weep Tedium - thanks. wasnt sure how else to show hes a bounty hunter
dleoblack - really means a lot man. thanks
cout<mecha - thanks for taking a minute to write that. but ive never heard of anyone you mentioned. i was only given a very short brief of the characters and thats what i came up with. i barely had any prior knowledge of the western genre. i didnt want pinup for the girl. more of a grimey evil upscale prostitute type figure.
Caio Monteiro - thanks dude!!

thanks people. had a shitty day today thinking of the oil spill and how its going to affect the future and all that. if there even is a future. but who wants to worry about that shit right? heres some pencil stuff.

[Magic Man]

Those pencil sketches are fantastic buddy! If I have a crit, some of the digitals have slightly messed up proportions and perspective.

If you're ever inclined, would love to hear any crits on my sketchybook too =)

Cheers, Daz

I LOVE the mix between the raw pencil and smooth digital in that girl. Such flow and awesomeness in that picture.
