Description [EDIT 9/11/11]
WHAT.
WHERE DID THIS DD COME FROM. WHAT IS GOING ON.

Oh my gooosh I don't even know. XD Thank you so much *alexielart for the suggestion and ^kasumichan2003 for the feature. MY MIND IS BLOWN WITH GRATITUDE.

---------------
This is Orrin. Someone just interrupted his morning solitude.
He is not thanking them for it.


I needed an inked illustration for a scholarship thingy, despite not having inked anything traditionally in atleast 2 years. So the lineart for this is what I ended up with.
Naturally I ended up hating the lines so much finishing it off digitally seemed like my only option other then punching someone in the face.

Anyway, I'm sure this seems a little non-sequitur compared to the other pieces I have up. 8T Honestly I can't remember where I got the idea, other then that it was originally Ben brushing his teeth.
In the end I went with Orrin, who is an old, grumpy character and I thought his glare might make for a more interesting piece.

Oh, and I figured out Google SketchUp and used it to give me a hand with the background. 8D It's a great program.

ok ok ok I'll shut up.
I hope you guys like this :T feel free to tell me things and yeah you know how it goes.

The cigarette on the edge is a nice touch Actually the little details throughout the drawing are great, little nuggets of character. How'd the scholarship end up going?

His facial expression is classic, it's liek "Wow, you really had to interrupt me? You're so lucky I don't have my foot up your ass."

Great job. c:

Jay-the-Great In reply to Saxima [2011-09-14 00:21:56 +0000 UTC]

XD Theres a very good chance he actually said that to whoever the intruder is. Thankfully Orrin's bark is much worse than his bite.

Thank you~!

I like the sink.

...okay, it sounds weird, but it's so detailed and messy and it looks just like it is supposed to (uhm.)
The thick line surrounding Orrin is interesting, too!

having fun staring at this.. :] the lines are beautiful.. the shading is also beautiful! and I like drawings of nasty dank places like this
also I find it awesome that we see the character's face in the reflection cos he's facing away.. I dunno, I'm sure it wasn't like a burst of genius on your part to do that, but I sure like it

Gosh DANG this is a shiny piece of work! I looove all of the little textural details in the bathroom, and the deep dark shadows beneath the sink and the medicine cabinet. It looks like real bathroom lighting. Now that I've seen this I am convinced that you could illustrate a kickass graphic novel. Your line quality (kinda sketchy and angular) gives the whole scene such character. This inspires me to try harder at EVERYTHING. @_@

I also like that he is smoking while brushing his teeth.

JeyBarnes In reply to JeyBarnes [2010-06-03 00:06:40 +0000 UTC]

ALSO YOUR DIGITAL COLORING TOTALLY FOOLED ME. I didn't even consider that this could be non-traditional until I noticed the category. @___@
ppppppssssss the balance of lights and darks and medium shades is just PERFECT ARGH.
