You live in Melbourne, eh? I gotta commission you to do some cover art when the time comes

That's some really good work. The only thing I can criticize is the eyes seeming to not match up, but aside from that it's amazing.

Very fucking nice...the hair..the hand...under the eyes. Good job.

Hey, another Melbournite, excellent, i thought we were a dying breed haha!
Sure thing about the cover art, i'd love to! I'm currently doing an Advanced Diploma in Multimedia Design Tafe course, so i should be able to do some work for you!

Thank's everyone so far also for the great comments. I hope Mike would be proud of it!

In a small area called McKinnon, it borders on with Bentleigh =)
And by the way, i've heard some of the opeth recordings you've done, you're sensational man!
I play guitar also, about 6 years or so now.. wish i could record stuff at good quality as you do

 

[Yoda]

That's amazing!

Yeah that's some excellent work there mate. So quick to, I was expecting months of work. You did it in no time. Well done!

Just so I can pretend to be as cool as you guys, I'm from Hobart and my girlfriend lives in Melbourne so I'm there quite often. Although I'm not from Melbourne officially, I can still pass as being an Aussie.

Good to see this board has a few of em.

Can't say I've ever heard of those areas. Probably a fair way out from here.

Thanks for the comments man, they're appreciated.

Did you apply for the cover-contest Opeth were running? If so, I'm surprised you didn't win it. Keep drawing, you've got a killer talent.

 

[Wretched Pest]

Awesome ! I can't believe you actually did that in just few hours.
Only two things that bothered me... As Moonlapse stated before, the eyes
doesn't seem to match and he looks a little too chubby.

Other than that it's a 10.

 

[Ermz]

Yeah, the chubbyness.. I think that's due to the jaw on the left side not looking very defined.

 

[Anarkissed]

Man, your drawing fucking sucks.

Just kidding (duh). Awesome work man, I imagine you had lots of fun drawing his chest hair.

Hehe, I sit just me, or does his body look kinda like it's shaped into a heart?

 

[T-Rat]

wow... that's really good!

 

[Pseud0]

very well done - i wish i had any drawing talent. Best i can do is stick figures

 

[AbsentFriend]

Can somebody else post this drawing again, because the only thing I see is a little red cross..
