Getting back to art

[rawbonedhound]

After doing many exercises (thanks drawabox!) and figure studies, and saving even more images on pinterest of the illustrations I WANT to do, it was this indie youtube animation I'm not even a fan of (it feels a little cringe) thar got me to take the plunge into making a full fledged work.

I took a lot of liberties with the source material (I guess it's the gritty dystopia I wanted the series to be, instead of what it is) and obviously I have a long way to go in my art skills (tracing my photo references will alwwys be my downfall) but I'm proud to have actually finished a full piece, and had it come out how it looked in my head. A little better than it looked in my head, actually!
