i need to get better at placing eyes in a straight line, i notice that now that one eye tends to be higher then another. so i will be working on that. I'm also going to work on facial expressions... i have more sketches to update but there for another time

"We've got oceans, beautiful women, this emotion called love. According to the old vids, we have everything they want."

quote from mass effect. bben playing mass effect and mass effect 2 recently and i actually think i like it more then dragon age... because shapard the charector you play (and the opwner of said quote fot the title of this blog) is aswome. they have so much personality especially compared to the warden in dragon age... dragon ages wardens need to be voiced in the future.

so anyway heres some work in progresses for my lates piece of art

happy drawing/writing/whatever you guys do
