Some face studies, from work by one of my favorite artists, Marko Djurdjevic. Ive been tryin other artist's styles, get a feel for the different ways i could go. And I repeat, for extra clarifacation, allmost every face on here was done by Marko, I just copied so i could get a feel for how he draws.

Like that page on japanese weapons. :) The last mecha piece... you're influenced by Mamoru Nagano's Five Star Stories, no?
