    Very cool in both cases Kyriakos, the second looks like it'd fit in Civ 5 quit happily

    Thankyou Varenne, always so encouraging Sometimes from the initial idea they just come together and seem to work without fuss - like these. At other times they may involve a lot of false starts and tiresome reworking so that they eventually get there, but it's rare that the finished product feels like its own reward.

    The quarter is for scale.



    It looks quite amazing Gilliatt! I hope we are going to see the complete drawing very soon and it seems very different from your previous versions of Ben and Franklin.

    Looking forward to see your work, Varenne and Max.

    Your landscapes are wonderful, MystyrMystyry (I hope I spelled your name right!).

    Gosh....haven't been on for a while! D: I've been busy writing and whatnot....

    But here's my most recent work! It's fan art of my favorite music band, Big Bang:

    Find your dream and stick with it...or your life will have slipped past in a whisper with you still on the bottom.

    I'm not familiar with the band, but I love the colors, Beau! They look like they're glowing. Very neat.

    Here's a basic sketch I did recently...



    I played with the color a bit. I wasn't fully satisfied with it, but I have moved on.

    @ Var: I think this sketch presents a most suitable occasion to confess I'm your #1 fan, whatever you come up with The coppery shades give it an ancient touch, like it was dug out of a book of memories

    @ Beau: you should already know I'm your #1 fan, whatever you come up with

    Thank you, Max! You say things that make me smile. Your smile faces make me smile, too! Have you been doing any art things lately?

    Another sketch. Maybe my favorite for the year. Portrait of a woman named Lan.

    I've been working on a few things you might like to see. I just never get to be pleased enough with them, so they are in a constant modification process

    I would love to see them! I don't mind the wait, though. I just had a big delay myself. I'm so happy to be back to work. The process is as important as the result.

    I have to finish a sculpture and post pictures of it. Hopefully soon after Christmas. I'm so glad you liked my drawing. Thank you.

    This last portrait is so delicate, beautiful!

    I am a huge fan of your work Varenne. I love your sculptures and I wish I had enough disposable cash to buy one. You have a wonderful talent! I also love your drawings. You have an awesome style.

    Nice work Varenne.
    What is the media? The first appears to have some computer generated coloring (?)
    The second looks to be graphite and/or charcoal.

    Ah! Thank you, BB. That means a lot to me. In an effort to give everyone who wants one of my sculptures a chance to own one, I hold an annual contest/drawing for a free figure. Just one per year. A winner is announced each November. I would be happy to add your name to the list of entrants for 2013 if you would like.
