A commission I finished today (12-23-2010).

The idea here was that he's in the duct work of a spaceship looking through some things for all kinds of spy-like purposes, and halfway through sketching I was thinking that he should above a hallway, above the lighting fixtures hiding in the darkness above it.

Can you imagine looking up to see those scales flopped around and above the lighting above you and slowly moving with stealthy efficiency? And a hand.

Got to use a few methods I've been wanting to try. A few problems with lighting here and there, I'm sure you can see them, and a horrible "character stands out too much from the background" look as well. Can't stand that. I'll need to keep an eye out for preventing that next time. But I think I'm slowly moving to where I want/need to be.

I pity all the people who did not click on the thubnail and see what an amazing picture this is up-close.

Other than the lovely alliteration in the title, it’s got good characterisation, colouring, perspective and lighting. You can almost feel being on that spaceship when looking at this picture. ~#@

I think your a lot like me and overly sceptical of your work. I certainly can’t blame you for it, its how we improove our selves, But at least you have the sense to just leave it as is, i just keep going back and making a bigger mess of mine. but this picture is really quite good.
