Hi,
I have a gallery here, but it takes a long time for me to finish decent artworks. I guess its mostly just sorta lonely when I don't have something new to post. I'll post my WIPs in here, as a teaser for the final versions and also just to criticize it and talk about trying to improve as an artist. If you have any suggestions or criticisms, feel free to share them.
I'm currently starting a comic/sequence that will feature the new pedator I came up with, Alistair.
Info about Alistair (from the submission)
Alistair is a very powerful mage that seeks out magic users and devours them, gaining their magical energy in the process. He has gained most of his power this way. One unexpected side effect of this is that he has become ravenously hungry, and generally eats another person at least once per day. Even if he cannot find a magic user, such as today, he will still have his routine feeding. Today, he chooses the most appetizing guy that crosses paths with him.
It's unusual for a mage to possess the ability to manipulate matter as well as Alistair can. In this scene he has conjured bands of energy that restict his meal's movement. He is also causing his victim to levitate. Alistair can swallow him without even needing to raise his arms. Instead he lets his gut hang freely, relaxed and ready to be filled.
Relaxing and digesting his food overnight will console him for not having found any magic users that day. Alistair can sense magic from miles away, and the range increases temporarily if he hasn't eaten for too long, accompanied by increasing hunger. When he doesn't sense anyone, he follows rumors or searches known areas for magic users.
Alistair has a bored personality. He almost never feels threatened by any situation. He enjoys eating but doesn't usually taunt his victims. He is very efficient, and makes it as hard as possible for captives to escape from him. He often explains the tactical errors of magic users before he eats them, revealing how he was able to defeat them. No-one is sure why he does this, because his prey will never be able to use the advice.
The prey is a really innocent and friendly Druid boy. The first pic establishes what the Druid character is like, before Alistair finds him.
I'm pretty happy with the scene layout. The character's lineart needs to be fixed up a lot. The arms and hands are too big and the feet might be too small. I also want to make his chest/abs seem a little less buff, because he was originally supposed to be on the thin side. I like the face and hair, but the hair might need more definition and he needs better eyebrows. The hands obviously have to be redrawn but it usually takes me 10+ tries to get a decent looking hand.
I also want to have him casting a spell that is causing the flowers to grow. I sort of tried it here, but it doesn't look too great.
Overall the series will be much more high quality than any of my previous work. It will probably take a few weeks to complete if I'm being totally honest though T_T
