Thank you. I'm glad ya like it.

Very epic but who doesnt love the funny serious looking guy

Oh, I agree. I'll never be totally serious, so no worries there. I just like making things look badass. XD

No fun being serious but fun to see people watch in fear owo

nice

Thanks. :)

You should just start taking a sketchbook to work. Maybe finally get caught up on artz?

This is true.

Mm, I love older guys. :)

Well, you're young. Most guys are older than you. ;)

looking goood

definitely an evolution in style

Thank ya! :)

can't wait to see more stuff from you
hope you get a chance to draw more soon

Focussed-looking lions are hot!

Great work man, this looks awesome! You captured the musculature perfectly! Look at those shoulders! :-9

And no, you'll never be mature! ;)

It's true, I won't be. But at least I can pretend! Pretending is fun!

omg. Awesome.

Thanks, Paveykins.

whoa ._.

That good or bad?

lol, erm... good new style, but uh.... intimidating? ^ ^;;;

oooh, square jawed, muscley lion... permission to huggle, sir? :3

Haha, I suppose so? XD

*squees and huggles*

very well done, cant wait to see how this works out.

i love how easy it is to see you as your character
you always seem to bring the pictures to life

Awww, thanks dude. That means a lot there. :D

hehehe. . . .cute

Still cute, eh? :p

You'll always be cute!

Ooh, older, buffer Bauske. I approve, especially if I can cop a few feels.

I still don't see the point of growing up. Those people never have any fun.

I agree. I'd rather remain a kid at heart and be able to enjoy the simple things in life. It seems like people who grow up so fast are so boring.

I like this version much more.

Me too. Thanks!

Uaaaah love the line quality here. Definitely a strength. <3 <3 <3


And that chest~~~

Yessss, I do love me some ballpoint pen action. :3

Your style is awesome!! woot woot!! GO bauske!!!

Haha, thanks man! Your own style has been evolving as well from what I've been seeing.

yeah, alittle bit, been trying to be less solid and more fluid and it turns out ok XD

I don't know why, but I find this oddly appealing. Reminds me of the hours I'd spend during classes doodling on the old lined paper. Coming outta class with not a single coherent sentence written on the page, ANYWHERE. XD

Awesome look, and great lines on 'em. ;3 Rawr, and all that.

Yeah, I used to love drawing in old sketchbooks or on my school notes, or on my homework. Anywhere there was space on a piece of paper, I'd usually doodle on it. Those were the good days~

YOU WISH

blah my style changes constantly. Not really much better or much worst it just changes. Only consistant aspect of my art has been my cathedrals. I can never keep the same character style even if i love it.

Hmmm... dunno what to say there, man. I suppose just keep at it. I think your stuff definitely has a style, even if you don't see it.

Or maybe both? ;)

True hawtness will show through whether you're 25 or 50. ^^

I suppose so.

I like this one ^^

you do see a significant difference ^^

but it's kinda weird to see Bauske like that


but he's kinda hot :P

Yeah, I notice you're not too keen to view Bauske as attractive. Which I guess is okay. In some ways I never intended him to be.

I don't MIND attractive Bauske , it's just I'm not used to it yet :P

Kewl! looks like an Anime Version

Haha, really?

Yes Uncle bauske! it is

lol XD

Oh Pokemon~

grat anatomy, shoulder and chest ^^

Thank ya. I'm learning to draw shoulders a little better. Still have more to learn.

*nods* but ur good ;)

wow =) thats actually quite sexy looking

Heee, thank you. :3

i actually made a "murr" sound when i saw it in full view XD

you should make more of him, doin different things *nod nods*

Yeah, I totally feel ya there about the style - myself, I'm similar. I try to go for a sort of a realistically cartoony feel if I can get it. Whether I succeed or not depends on the viewer, but I think it's okay. :3

But more power to ya, man, and good luck on your quest. ^_^

Thank you! I appreciate the encouraging words! Good luck to you as well. :3

Its a pretty dam good style if ya ask me!! Awesome sketch, Id like to go alittle more anime with mine but i have to gain skill first!

looks awesome hun :)

keep up the great work

he looks more mature than he used to

Maybe it's your pretty neat style, maybe it's the fact to see another part of your character, maybe it's another thing I can't tell, ....
But I LOVE this drawing !

You always draw neat stuff.

My first reaction was, "wow, I'm not blown away from cuteness!" (Not that there's anything wrong with cute, your submissions have a way of making me smile.)

I don't know enough about art to say anything constructive that way though. :)

I always thought of your art as having a failry realistic base with a bold, cartoony presentation. If it takes a more realistic route, all the better, but I'll always remember your older works for their charm. Lovely clean hatching, by the way.

so serious >|[

Really really looks great

Very fun. I agree with you entirely-- It's good to progress with your characters and style. I'm in the process of trying to improve my stuff. It's hard work!

Pretty cool profile pic!

And oddly enough, the first thing I think of when I see the expression is chicago-lollie. I must not be keeping myself busy enough.

it looks cool to me

I've watched your art evolve for some time now. From when your site was first up, to here, and i can say honestly, your art has greatly matured! Your drawing skills have greatly improved! You've taken your original style and branched out, using new techniques or inspirations to fuel it.

Your a great guy, i hope you continue to make your art amazing! Plus, this older, serious version of Bauske looks very sharp! I'm impressed!!!

Wow, thanks a lot for that! It's really great to know that someone has been watchin' my stuff ever since my old site first went up (wow I haven't updated that think in SOOOO long x__x). I'm glad you've enjoyed my artwork over the years. I guess sometimes I forget that it's just merely something I do for fun. ;p

Those are always the best kind of things; those that we do for fun, but brings fun for others as well. Thanks again!

and definitely more muscular too. just look at the shadows ;3

EDGY = HOT.

I like the higher realism on the clavicles, deltoids and traps, and that... diagonal bulge on the neck whose name I don't know.

I though this rougher Bauske was going to be the new Bauske. Doesn't match your new wallpaper's Bauske though. EXPLAIN YOURSELF

It's pretty similar! I tried! D:

he looks really brave, and sexy .

and more masculine

but both bauskes are beatiful, i don´t have a favourite.

I LIKE BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how the real solid black outline at the back contributes to the shading some.

I can see some movement towards more realistic, mostly in the slightly smaller eyes and the anatomy (although we can only see the upper quarter of his body). He definitely looks older.

I gotta say I agree this is still kinda cartoony, but at the same time I gotta say there's nothing wrong with that. I feel like art can still be realistic, mature, and thoughtful even with a cartoony exterior (Calvin and Hobbes is the example that jumps to mind), and might even have more potential reach for inspiring others by grabbing the child(inside)'s attention in order to convey the message, whether that message is the dialogue, the emotion, the movement, whatever.

I should also mention that my favorite pieces of your art all scream some kind of artistic maturity anyway, mostly in the characters' expressions or their movement. The ideas in those drawings are always clear, regardless of the presence of dialogue/title/other types of language associated with drawing.

I'm not saying you should just keep doing the same thing (or even just same kind of thing) over and over, of course - but don't abandon the skill to do awesome cartoony stuff! Realistic is definitely cool, but, at least for our generation and probably many generations after, cartoons have their own unique and irreplaceable value.
