Two sketches, now with more steampunk!

ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS PLANNING SOMETHING INVOLVING MY ADDRESS AND SHE WON'T TELL ME WHAT.

*cough*




The main character from my steampunk story Nephilim, which is still in the works.  This guy's name name is Maverick James, and he is scruffy, Irish, and generally bad-tempered. XD <3

He rides a rocket-powered surfboard thing in my mind DON'T WONDER WHY, I JUST BLAME DISNEY.  The sketch itself is hokey, but whatever. And for some reason, I always draw his shirt open at the chest like that. XDDD <3



And this is John Artemis, who is a character from Maverick's past who's bound to show up in the story sometime.  He wields a rocket launcher/bazooka?  IDK my mind hears the word "steampunk" and it's like "LET'S GO CRAZY WITH IMPROBABLE WEAPONS AND MODES OF TRANSPORTATION" but I guess that's the point of the genre.

I really, really like this one, so I may finish it and stuff.  And dare I say I have improved?  I certainly don't remember ever drawing legs/hands/foreshortening this well on my other recent sketches. XD  Artemis' legsssssssss omg they're beautiful.  And his boots.  His boots are also beautiful.  I just love them over-the-calf boots, it's a weakness.

I also like combining the name "John" with strange last names.  I have another character named John Avocado.  IM TTLY SRS, GAIZ.  But then again, he lives in a world where there are people named Ms. Intaglio and Poco Piu Mosso.  But that's another story.

(ONE OF MANY I MAY NEVER EVEN START/FINISH.)

In other news, I'm going to be officially old in less than four hours. >_o

art, nephilim, rant
