Ya dudes noticed i was hopping back and forth between painting and stylish and realism and blergh - i could not figure out for the life of me where i was going and after some doodling and self reflection (plus many people favoring a specific sphinx pic recently) i sorta saw where my mind was heading when it comes to the design of my characters and overall artwork.

Its a fine middle point between adding what i find sexy about reference pictures i collect on a daily base but then nailing them to what i had already built style wise.

Yes i looooooooove painting but it doesnt have to mean forcing realism on all my hand movements while ignoring who my characters are and what makes em appealing. Ive had a hard time dealing with that and sketching for other people in that confusion space.

But its slowly clearing up - things arent as foggy as before and i have a much easier time interpreting people/their characters in the same method - All about appeal and what makes them so appealing - > And how i can push it further with my own touch.
