The Mercenary

Description

Finally finished! :w00t: One of the characters from a fantasy story of mine. As the title implies, he's a mercenary warrior, hence all the weapons. I really liked drawing the axe. In the primary reference, he has a sword, but it's the wrong sword and I ran out of page, so as my FB status said, I solved my problem with a throwing axe. :D

This is my favourite drawing since The Scoundrel and the Princess, seriously. I'm so happy with it, I can't even tell you. It turned out exactly like I wanted. :aww:

Media: Pencils on Bristol paper.
Time: I lost track... 20-ish hours.
Dimensions: 35.5 x 23 cm
Reference: [link] along with several photos of jeans, throwing axes, dark-haired men, and my mirror.
WIP: [link]

Note: Don't take this and claim it's yours. If you want to use it anywhere, ask permission, and credit me in some form.

This is beautiful!  Do you use a model or a photo as a basis, or is the entire drawing out of your head?  The proportions and the 'stillness' of the moment you captured is remarkable.
