Feudal Future - Imperial Guard

A pretty unproductive weekend plagued by headaches. Spent a bit more time on drawing before actually painting this guy. I am fully aware that the helmet-hair isn't Japanese, but it improved the overall silhouette quite a bit.

At least the lines don't look like they're from a children's colouring book anymore.

Orc Grunt

I tried my hand at doing this whole speedpainting thing but I found I lacked both the speed and the required painting skills. Initially a lunch sketch, this soon turned into something that stretched across almost 3 lunch breaks in total.

I'm definitely not ready for this. Back to the lines for me.

Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo

This started out as a value study during lunch break earlier today. While finding stills from Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo", I stumbled upon this movie instead. I'm making a mental note to catch it some time in the near future. These movies make timeless research material for my feudal future nonsense.

I can't quite get the menacing and gritty face right. Instead, it looks like a rather silly grin.

Feudal Future - Polearm Samurai

Just had to get this out of my system; a Samurai robot. I might toy around with this feudal future idea for a while.

In other news, I need serious linework help.

Light & Shadow

I lost my creative compass for a while, dealing with self-doubt and whatnot. Decided to shake off the cobwebs and sketched a pair of Tomorrow Kings (Ashley Wood).
