As a tribute to my favourite game, I made this drawing. I started it 2 days ago, on the 28th, but only worked on it for 2 hours in the last 2 days. I spent 4 hours on it today, though. 6 hours in total. Not too bad for something with this many values. I used nothing but the paper itself, the game cover as reference for ratios and colours, a single 0.7mm mechanical pencil, and used up maybe 2mm of a mars eraser. It took this long mainly because of me smudging it by accident after shading something, it would have taken 4-5 hours otherwise.

I hadn't drawn for more than 30 minutes at a time in a looooong time, like, we're talking years, so this was a change of pace for me.

You know, the regular, tell me what you think and whatnot.

And of course, my crappy(alright, mediocre, not crappy) scanner doesn't really do this justice. It doesn't offer true 300dpi like it says it does, more like 180dpi, so you'll probably notice some odd faded places.

Here's the newer version. Fixed the cheek, lightened up some whites, cleaned some extra bits of lines up.



And the older one is here, for comparison's sake.

Not bad at all, indeed a rather appealing piece. The inclination from his chin up to the right ear bugs me a little, however. I like the filling added to the cloth for the girl in the background.

Looks great man. Like really good.

Although, kinda what Cry said, the left side of Loyd's chin looks a bit round (although, that's just based purely on my own memory of the game's box).

The curve of the chin is off by like 2 degrees at the top starting point, which doesn't sound like much, but it makes a bit of a change through to the bottom. I'll fix it now, I'll rescan and re-upload later.

Updated with the "fixed" version. Look at them side by side or in tabs or something to compare the differences, the newer version is a bit cleaner.

I like the lighting on his nose, this time.

Yeah, the paper just isn't white enough for me to have achieved that lighting with the values I used...
