the dragon clan

I miss playing L5R (Legend of the Five Rings)! Its a ccg that i have enjoyed every aspect of... from the complexity of the game to the rich background of the stories. 

This is a samurai concept representing one of the clans of the game- the Dragon Clan.

dressed to kill

First here's a finished sketch of the Ogre Lord sporting the latest assortment of pillaged armor and a newly sharpened battle axe ready to cut through flesh and bone. Its been a while since i've done armor details and i'm liking it so far...=)

the 10 min. habit

Here are a few practice sketches I've done. Some of these are a few years old already. It's always a good idea to keep practicing still life and human anatomy, specially those dynamic poses so you don't get that stiff awkward look.

If you want to practice your dynamic pose sketching skills I recommend visiting www.posemaniacs.com. They have this app where it randomly shows the human figure in different poses for 30 secs. Its a great way to practice and a useful source of reference too.
