Description This is Crossfire, a character that belongs to and that I drew for his AngelCorps challenge (go here [link] for more info).

About the character:
"Enlisting at 17, Lincoln West was tailor-made for the military. Successfully flying through an unprecedented curriculum of Navy Seal, Army Ranger and Green Beret training, he picked up the nickname Crossfire as it was a strategy he used effectively to his advantage on many a mission. An assignment in the Mideast left him hovering on the brink of death when he became transformed by the experience into the new Lord of the Ebonox Core, a black enchanted anti-gravity, anti-light energy mass from ancient Babylonia that fused into his body to keep death at bay. As Crossfire, representing the United States of America, he can psionically project black liquid-like energies and instantly mind-shape them into complex floating hard-surfaced constructs."

I was a bit hesitant to take on this challenge, because I'm not used to drawing big muscled men. Even when I draw super heroes, my style is always a bit more cartoony, because honestly, my anatomy knowledge is so weak that I'm surprised I can even recognize a human being when I see one. Hah. But I thought why not, decided to try it, and here it is. Nothing marvelous, but I wanted to get it done before the deadline! If I have time, I might give some other character a try

Crossfire and AngelCorps belongs to

Hey, I never saw you post this but wanted you to know I thought you did a killer job on Crossfire. Especially with little experience rendering the hero-types.  You were definitely in the running to place with as much strength in overall design presentation as the character himself!

Not used to drawing muscular men? What about Leonidas? "Spartaaa!" :angry:

Sorry about that. Anyway, I think you did a good job.

haha good point. But with Leonidas I took the easy/lazy road and only drew his torso, the legs are the more difficult part for me who am I kidding, my anatomy is all weird haha gotta practice more!
and thank you very much for the support! I'm glad you think I did good

Oh you're way too modest.
Like how men always get women's anatomy wrong (humongous boobies around their collar bone), most women never even dream of getting muscles right. But you managed it really well.
Nice shoulder muscles and biceps. I do think one arm seems a tad longer than the other though.
Very good lineart, and colours. I personally think your entry kicks some serious butt

hahaha that is very true
I'm very happy that you think I didn't so bad. Anatomy really is one of my biggest problems, I need to start looking at anatomy books or something to get a hang on it.
I actually noticed a slight arm-size difference, but then I wasn't sure if it really was that way or if it was my tired eyes pulling off trickeries. Guess it was the first one haha next time I'll pay more attention! thanks for pointing it out!

and thank you very much for the comment!
