Description 'I can't draw, I can't paint... only thing about me is the way...' ... I pity myself... whatever...

Picture looked better when it was still a sketch, coloring messed it up... also trying to improve the anatomy actually made it much much worse. *sighs* But I'm still content enough with it to post it anyway.

Character belongs to a german Elfquest RPG-holt (SternjΓ€ger ). His name is Jeyn... yeah... it's a boy... ... What? Jayne Cobb from Firefly was male too!

Inspiration came from this picture from .

Drawing done by me... obviously... drawn with coloured pencils. Didn't scan it, but used my camera, because the scanner's colors where even stranger than this version.

I really don't know why you keep complaining about your own art (yeah yeah I know we are all good with that). This picture is very cute. And yeah I see a few flows here in the art but that doesn't make the whole picture bad. In fact there are some things that really wight out some anatomical mistakes, as for example the awesome coloring and the use of ink in the foreground and just pencil in the Background.

The new design for Jeyn is very cute I like his boyish charm here and his look. Especially the nose for a reason ^^ Keep em coming Teylen

Hmm... may be I have a comparative explanation why I complain about my own art and why I always have the feeling that it looks horrible. May be it sounds silly though... but... have you ever repeated a word (like 'anatomical' or 'horrible' or 'complaining' or whatever) over and over again, may be pronouncing it a little different each time or analyzing how it sounds? After a while... it just looks and sounds wrong. With every repetition the word looks stranger and stranger until you think it's not a real word or it's written wrong or something else. At least that's what happens to me when I do that...
... same goes for art. The longer I look and work on a picture the weirder it looks. It gets more horrible with every minute. After a while even the correct or nice parts look wrong. So... actually... when I'm in the sketching-phase of a picture, I'm still happy, but by the time I finish it, I'm devastated. ^^,

... don't know if this explanation makes any sense to anyone but me.

... but at least some part of me usually likes a picture still well enough to post it anyway.

Hehe I think I know what you mean
Don't worry we ALL are like this at some point and it's not bad as long as we still like our art ^^

He's very cute ! I like his expression and the new clothes you came up with ^^. Also, having him go beyond the background frame is a neat idea!

Thank you ^^
Actually the clothes are mostly still from the original description. o.O; I just gave him a different shirt (and made the white more greyish) and added the feather because I felt like it.
The pants (overall?) were in the original and I still ponder if I give him something else or keep them as his summer clothes.

^^, Thanks and thanks for the fav. Your stock images are great. Sooner or later I'll probably use another one for inspiration.
