Riddle of steel


As I was drawing it, early on, it started to look to me like Thulsa doom. So I steered it a bit that way. Too finicky, this one. Not sure when it happens, but it's a bad habit of mine I have to work on. The life ebbs away as I noodle.

I love this guy. His bored look makes his crazy armor even better.

Thanks everybody. I think I needed some light reference for this one. I'm used to a single strong light source and a foggy ambient light was real tough for me. But I was especially thinking about Sam's reflected light business this time around.
