Anthony and I are still studying the work of Toriyama Akira. This week: Dragon's Quest. You can check out his inspired interpretation HERE.
Also I maybe pretended like he was Taran from the Prydain Chronicles while I was drawing him. Just a little bit.
Drawing this was the most fun I have had all week. When I was a kid I drew little generic fantasy dudes with swords ALL THE TIME, but when I got 'serious' about art in college I kind of stopped.
That was a mistake. I freaking love dudes with swords.
That is a MIGHTY hilt. I hate to think of the leverage he's getting. One might be hewn asunder.
ReplyDeleteLove this. You can't lose with ANY drawing of an Assistant Pig-Keeper that has nothing to do with Disney's film.
