Nykkel Thornheart - Concept

Description

I think I can finally say with confidence that I'm getting the hang of watercolor. I'm very happy with the way this image turned out.

Rather than just sort of jumping into the portrait like I did with the "... - Concept Portrait" I instead reviewed a bunch of Tetsuya Nomura's older work before beginning this one, which would explain why I deviated so far from his style in the last entry as opposed to this one, which I think hit it pretty well.

This is Nykkel, a character who I've been more or less obsessing over for years. He is a swordsman (more of a blademaster, actually. Give him something sharp and he smiles) who has some serious mental problems that he deals with in his own unique little twisted ways. He stars in the story I've generated called "Infinitus Complex" which I swear will one day hit some form of written or drawn media.

This portrait is a concept sketch emulating Tetsuya Nomura's Final Fantasy concept portrait watercolor styles.

Unfortunately I couldn't fit it under the scanner so I had to photograph it. Other than the strange edge shadows the colors more or less matched up all right.

Criticism very welcome.
