Vulcan Raven

I have always wanted to paint a series of portraits of my favorite cartoon/comicbook/ and videogame characters. So instead of saying "I have always wanted to paint em...", i'm just gonna paint em.

Here's the first. Vulcan Raven from Metal Gear Solid. Just a sketch for now, but I will post WIP's as I move along. This is a very public way to embarrass myself.

The figure in the middle was me drawing poorly. My linework has suffered over the years and it doesn't get any better than getting used to a cintiq then having your computer break and being forced to resort to the old Wacom tablet you used to use years ago. Anyway, I tried to make the initial pose more dynamic with the recomposing of the figure on the right. Thank god for PS warp tools. More to come!

Is 1o heads tall too much? Critiques welcome ;)
