I really wanted this massive bearded fella to look like he was carrying everything he owned, all his bits of kit and equipment stowed on his armour which he's pieced together from those he's butchered. I realise his weapon would be quite unwieldy but figured, he might not be able to hit you very often but when he does, you're going down! This was a lot of fun sticking all the little details on, done on A3 with a HB mechanical pencil. Marvellous!

I've stuck in a detail shot here for anyone who wants to see it...

Thanks for the Mods Choice fellas!

Comment from the Mad Cheesepuff: Well, son-of-a-diddly! I thought for sure I put a comment on this one. I bet I could look at this for two hours and not catch everything you put on him. Reminds me of me in a way: packrat. I think he came by my office and picked up a few things as I seem to be missing something but can't make out what. I wish he'd put my whole desk on and run off with it. Niiice!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ooooh, I did laugh... strangely he's no longer employed... Anyhoo, I digress, Cheers Mel!!"

You've been told this many times, but here it is again. Your sense of detail is simply astonishing. Great job with this guy, he looks terribly imposing. Must be a real hassle putting all that on befoe a day's worth of adventuring and orc-slaying, though. You make terrific artwork; keep doing what you do

:-) Andy Guest replies: "Comment from the Chapped Armpit: Cheers Tommy! Admittedly not the most practical suit ever desiged... still, it's the rubber catsuit he's got on underneath that causes him the most trouble..."

On the armor and the the weaponary itself you might want to use a fading pensil or a napkin to soften the tone a bit.. so its no to blotch and so sticking out.. other then that great sketch
