What an INCREDIBLY handsome fella ^^

Hehehe, glad you like him! ^^

I thought I'd see a whole body, but just the head looks okay. Btw how did you submit this, I thought you were on vacation.

I AAAAM on vacation!! :D But this means, that I have finally some TIME to draw more than usual. In the next 5 weeks, I'm going to submit at least 3 new pictures (2 digital and 1 traditional)... and 2-3 "other" artworks, which I won't post here.
*grins-adult content-grins*

I am spending my holidays at home, so I have time to draw. ^^

Uh, and this artwork here is a typical "head-to-chest-portrait". It was never meant to show more.

Oh I think I know where, but honestly it might be different so you could send me a link.

Also I'm guessing I should wait before I ask you more about your art.

Thanks, it was refreshing to do my "usualy" traditional works again... with all the "usual" textures and details. ^^

man i'm so jealous on how you can keep your hand so freakin' steady :<. Course i like my style...but do wish it was cleaner sometimes.

Looks like marker annnnd...acrylic? or gouache?

Aw, you're talking about the scale textures... or what? ^^ In fact, I work much better with a traditional ink pen. But you're right, you need more concentration and disciplin. After all, you cannot erase it!! :O
But it's all about practise, really. ;)

I have used markers (permanent) for the basic colours of the skin, cloth markers for the uniform and acrylics for the highlights.

well yes; scales must've been painstakingly lengthy ._O. But i meant the overall piece.

What ink pen do you use? I use micron, rapioliner and rapidograph (fantastic for high details) and the brush pen (or ink brush on rare occasion).

Permanent markers? like copic or prismacolor?

Cloth markers? never heard of those...or maybe i have :P.

I can understand acrylics for the highlights but i've often had trouble getting it to that white. I assume you used a THICK glob for consistency?

Sorry for the questions but i've been thinking of getting back into traditional paintings myself ^-^''

Well, why don't you take a look here:

These are my drawing materials. ^^

wow...i have never seen those brands in my area ^-^' Or NYC!

or speak...uh, german?

I am German! ;)

is there an ENG version of the site ^. .^ I just skimmed it. Sorry ^^"

No, sorry. There is no ENGLISH version. BUT there are plently of html pages at my homepage, where you can SWITCH to ENGLISH by clicking on the Union Jack Flag! :D
Anyway, in time there will be more ENGLISH pages around. And most stories (!) are ENGLISH, too. So, it's not that bad, is it? ^^

ohhh no no no no it isn't bad! I very much like the layout and composition :). Great color scheme and whatnot.

I really need to build myself a site for promotion for a job (currently seeking).

do de do, dragons |3

Was "Do De Do" not an artist...? XD Hehehe, well. This guy here's a nice Earth Dragon! ^^

I wasn't referring to the artist, I was just making a silly noise. :O!

Anyway hi Reppy~

Hehehehehe, oookay. :D Heyas!

Nice to see some good traditional work again.

Thanks very much! ;) Yeah, it's been about time.... ^^

Looks great! Love the details as always!

Thankssssssssssssssssssssssss

wau super detailreich Super gute arbeit Reptile <3

Danke auch! :)

I always love the amount of detail you put into your work. Extra kudos for it being traditional as well.

Glad you like it! ^^

Anybody in military gear I salute because no matter where they are from they do us a big favor in keeping where we live the way they left it.

He might be German but I still respect him

PS:

I hope you are doing well Rep..

Yeah, I'm doing well. Having nice holdiays! ^^ Thank you.

very, VERY nicely done Rep. definately a unique piece.

Thanks!

O.O Scaley smile *hides under my blanket*

he's VEEEERY attractive.

color the coloring AND cross hatching, gives it a cool kinda comic book cover look

Hehe, he's got that special smile, does he not? ;) Thank you for the comment.

yeah he does =o.o=

You really draw amazing scalies.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs*

Amazingly great skill mate.

Thank you!

This looks fantastic! New Patrick artwork always makes my day better. : )

Hehe, I'm happy you like it that much. :)

-) Dude its been a month since I saw another traditional; and even longer since you did a mugshot! I love your cross-hatching as usual, and your coloring is gorgeous as always. I think my favorite part of the entire image (next to the hat) is the eyes; they look very vivid.

I slightly recall YOU "telling" or asking me to do another traditional piece... XD In fact, when Dracenmarx was visiting my home (we shared a nice holiday time), he wanted to have "something" from me. It's been somewhat of a tradition, that I draw a picture for my guests, hehehehehe. And HE got this character - in DIN A4 and fully traditional!!!!

I'm glad you like it. It seems, I did not lose any of my inking skills. ^^ And yay about the eyes... I always do my best to capture feelings there.

THANK YOU

I admire the crosshatch and almost calligraphic shading. The coloring is very handsome. Definitely a doctor I'd not mind letting him take my temperature the old fashioned way.

Ooooookay.... I know what ya mean!! XD Hehe, thanks for the comment.

What a distinguished looking fellow that is!

Dominus tecum

At least, it is NOT a "Reptile Cynrik". :D And I'm glad about it. ^^ Thanks for your kind words.

Yes, he does look very distinct from your Reptile character.

Dominus tecum

Love the job of the cheek scales and how they seem to follow the muscles correctly. Very nice job!

Thankssssssssss a lot! :) In the past, I did just a normal scale patter, just if you use a fill-pattern. But yeah, it never followed the body parts correctly. So, this is what I am practising since. ^^

insta-fave.

Seriously. You are a god at this.

Uuoh... not that "g"-word!!!

Seriously, I'm not a "god" here. But I really appreciate the comment! *hugs*

Well, don't take it literally now! :D

I still firmly believe that you are incredible at this kind of detailed stuff! Really!

*note to self: must take lessons from ReptileCynrik*

^^

Lol, late comment but I had to slip it in nonetheless.
This reminds me of some old stories from my own childhood, and in a good way; the blend of reptilian face and recognisable human expression is utterly seamless; something I could never have done.

Hey, I don't mind if a comment appears in ONE day or in ONE year! ;) I really appreciate the comment. *hugs*
Thanks very much.
I try hard to project common human expressions on my fantasy characters... it usually works well, but after all: I'm doing this for a long time by now. ^^

I really this one!

Thank you very much! ^^ May I ask why you love it so much?

Of course you can Reptiles and uniformed furries are my personal favorite and this one is perfect combination of them. It have also high level of detail (beautiful scales!) and amazing eyes (this reminds me you funny sketch in scraps of his eye )! Is it enough?
