"first post" villain character concept

[sandrue]

well, hello everyone.
i'd appreciate any comments. this one is only known as "the faceless" (i admit inspiration from "the alchemist" in the movie "vidocq";))
the sword sucks i know:) also i wasn't satisfied with the mask...

thw sword is a bit off perspective wise,look in the refrence section there is a thread i believe with swords...search away :D the arm+shoulder is also off it doesnt seem as if he has a arm just a hand...the mask looks pretty good to me..though i cant really see where the light source is coming from in the drawing...i love the idea ya got work with it a little it will be a great piece....

I like the marker tones, very good. As for attaching the image, go to photobucket (www.photobucket.com ). Upload your pictures on a free account there, copy url, paste under image attachment section, and you're off to the races:)

It looks nice.

You might want to give us a hint of the arm under the cloak. I'd also consider tightening up the bottom of the drawing. The swirls on the bottom of his cloak could be a nice, specific detail that defines this character. So you might not want that area to fade away into nothingness.

The shoulders and head really do look good. The rest of the drawing just needs to be brought up to its level of radness.

enjoy,

i'm goin to draw more details as soon as i find some time...
in fact i'm asking if anybody could give me advice on drawing armors, war equipment, etc. (when i draw such things they look really terrible! :) have some problems making them look realistic & integrating them into the drawing...)
