Ahhh M, wanting no trouble. He joined the wrong team for that.
But yeah that is pretty neat. After you're done with Ayda, would you be interested in drawing Leon too?
Click Click Boom Boom@Doc Tent, look man, when you've been drawing for.... Uh, 7 minus 23.... 16 years, you really aren't inspired by one thing anymore. When I started when I was 7 it was Digimon and DBZ. Then you start throwing in bits and pieces of anime you watch before you get introduced to Teen Titans and Justice League.
Oh, Mark Bagley, best Ultimate Spider-man artist ever, was a big deal to me. Oh, and I looked at actual living human beings. I would have never progressed without learning to draw actual living people around me by observing their bodies and faces and the structure of their forms. I'm saying this part specifically to you Kieran, take it from someone who knows, your stylization needs actual humanity if you seek improvement. One cannot progress without the basics behind them. I should know because this is not my only art style, I'm capable of a few because I know where to start.
And Doc Tent, I CAN colour but I don't have access to a scanner right now and I'm not particularly good at it.
Also, I haven't made comics in ages. I've actually improved so much that I don't have the patience to make comics like I used to. I work with time and detail and my mind needs my ideas on paper a week ago. When I was younger and worse I would make comics all the time.
Right now I'm not ready.
Oh, I haven't taken my medicine yet this morning so I'm not as focused on the work as I should be. As a consequence, I'm lazy as hell, but here, have an◊ Ayda◊
Now who wanted a Leon? I need info. Also, a default outfit. I forgot to ask for one for Ayda and I had to make up something generic.
The Blog The ArtAppearance: Leon is five feet and 10 inches tall. He is in great physical shape having taken martial arts as a child and having to go through the physical training regiment during warden training. His hair is brown, whilst his eyes are a bluish grey. At the moment he has a buzz cut that's grown out a bit. He also has a scar in his abdomen from attempting to stop a throwing knife and failing. This scar has been joined by one across the chest from Maeve and another across the abdomen from Billy Blind. Along with a second throwing knife scar to the knee. He has a scar above and under one of his eyes from where he just barely managed to avoid getting them clawed out by Maeve. He's also picked up two separate bullet wound scars to his knee to go with the knife one. Also, due to his underground prize fighting habit, his nose is somewhat messed up.
The knee with all the scars is his left one. As for usual outfit, I'd prefer it in his combat gear, but if that's more stuff then you want to handle, shorts and a nerdy T-shirt would be fine. (Like Hylian Crest shirt, or a Star Wars shirt, Devil May Cry shirt would work too.)
As for his combat gear if you want to deal with it, we got his gray warden cloak, his upper body motorcycle armor, over which he has his holster for his .45. It's one of those underarm things, which depending on his pose might be hidden by his cloak. Two thigh holsters, one with his revolver on the left and the other with his magic electrolaser on the right. His swordbelt has the gladius on his right side, and the lightning darts along the leftish portion of his waist. He's got combat boots on and, probably combat fatigue pants as well. (I've never really settled on his pants) His hands are of course covered with his IRON FISTS. (IE his gauntlet/metal glove foci) The one on the left hand is bulkier and heavier looking somewhat shield-like. The one on the right is slimmer and has spiked knuckles.
Click Click Boom BoomYeah, I never really write down facial shapes for my characters, its something I need to work on (probably as a subset of me not being all that great with faces at times). Sorry. Uhhh besides the squashed nose and facial scars...
Hmmm, strong jaw, middleish cheekbones, European eyes? He's got strong Germanic heritage. But I'm not entirely sure how that translates to facial features.

Oh my god, has anyone told you Leon is too aggressively well armed?◊ The only thing he's missing is a rocket launcher strapped to his god damned back.
If I wasn't already half-assing it I would have anyway because the dude carries so much stuff.
Oh man, I forgot his shoulder holster.
Screw it, where would I put it?
Does this guy do a lot of martial arts against supernatural stuff because I can't imagine all that stuff is conducive to smooth movement and ability, without, I dunno, tripping over his own sword or stabbing himself with one of his guns.
The Blog The ArtI hate to be nitpicky but the eye scar is supposed to be two separate horizontal scars above and below the eye, not a single vertical one through the eye. Actually, might make that three or four scars since it was basically a claw attack to the face, that he lucked out on it not hitting him in the eye. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the appearance text.
And its not as inhibiting as you might think. Because thigh holsters are low enough down the leg that they won't mess with the hip motions. And because they are thigh holsters not hip holsters they move with the leg. Mind you, Leon doesn't throw many kicks in his Warden duties. (Though looking at pictures of thigh holsters now, I didn't realize they also had vertical straps that attach them to a belt, I thought they just had horizontal straps across the thigh, so that might inhibit leg movement a bit more then I was anticipating. But probably not to too severe of a degree.)
And its not much of a weight issue either since its light enough and distributed across his entire body. The shoulder/underarm holster might catch him up a bit if he tried to do any backwards elbows or stab behind himself, but his cloak would get in the way of those actions anyways.
But yeah I suppose the sword might be an issue at times, or at least the sheath for it. Still like I said he doesn't throw that many kicks. And there's plenty of straight kicks that wouldn't get tangled up by the sword. This kind of makes me tempted to dress up in a duplicate of Leon's load out to see how it would effect my martial arts. (but I don't have any of the requisite gear and unless I decide to cosplay Leon, I see no reason to spend the money obtaining them)

40€ are enough for a good steak dinner, unless you go crazy rich places :P just saying.
"You can reply to this Message!"Thanks for pointing that out. I assume it is still not enough for any hotel room that has a modicum of quality.
“Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse. Inevitable." - Taylor HebertWell, depends on the hotel, but you can sleep in a small one that is clean and probably even get breakfast in a hostel for it.
Heck, even better if you are young enough to stay in a Youth Hostel which I assume rome has up to its ears.
"You can reply to this Message!"Even if it's not enough for here, Annette's been staying with family in Germany up til now. She should have enough for the room with that. :P
