I quit. Worked on it for a couple hours but couldn't get the nose right, the sword looks funny to me, the ribbon looks completely fake, and I can't get into the finishing touches when I'm unhappy with the whole thing. =P

I started by just practicing on drawing male muscles in PS but it turned out like that.(I even messed up on the right bicep too. -_-)

Anyway, I just smacked a background on it and decided to post it up real fast before I put it in my photoshop folder to never be seen again. =)

I might start on a new, hopefully better one when I have the time.(But I get impatient after an hour or so and start rushing. >_>)

:shock: Man....you're so skilled in depicting muscles!! :pro: That part is somehting I always try hard to ignore eveytime I do fanarts.. :blush:

Cool Cloud! keep working on it and share with us, will ya! :fangirl:

You know, I wish I could draw muscles like that. It's still one of my biggest problems. :cry:

Dude, that looks nice. :cloud: :woot: The biceps look fine, and the ribbon certainly does not look fake. Sadly, I have no artistic skills whatsoever. I wouldn't even think about posting one of my arts here.

I think it looks great, MCS!

..... DUDE, that's HOT. <3 You draw biceps so awesomely. I could never, ever, ever do that to save my life. And huh, the ribbon looks fake?!?! o_0 NO SIR. It's completely gorgeous fo' real!

Amazing job, MCS. :bow:

Thanks everyone. =)

It's the only thing I'm decent at I guess. It's what happens when my style is semi-influenced by Toriyama's art. (Started drawing muscular guys since I first watched DBZ) And because of that I can't draw the female body at all.. >_> I want to make more CxA pieces but I can't if my Aeris turns out terrible. T_T

Thanks. =) I just like to explain and critique my own art before showing it. It makes it known that I know what mistakes I've made. I guess I've just been doing that since art class in High School. Like the bicep. Both elbows are bent so both biceps should be contracted. I dunno... I'm weird like that. -_-;;

And again, thanks everyone. =) I'll see if I can make a proper lineart on paper when I do another one. Maybe I can use the scanner at work. >=)
