PATTERNS ARE KILLING ME! THEY BURN MY EYES! *dies*

Well anyway, if anyone has actually been looking at my twitter thing in the corner of my page below my ID, you'd already know that I was working on some 'elusive' new artwork. And here are those WIP pictures you may or may have not been expecting to appear.

This part one of a two part picture (which is also on two bits of paper, you're looking at some of the first sheet of paper) of an idea that sort of 'ambushed' my brain during Art last session on Friday. I have to do a portrait of myself but I didn't actually feel like doing it yet just testing out ideas. So instead I began drawing some new OC's of mine. This one is Kale Noon. Only some will actually know who he is but he's being kept under wraps for now, cause he's still in development. I actually started on Part II of this picture on the Friday, but spent most of my time after working on Kale's half. Second half to appear at some point. Also I shall tell you now, don't make yourself do shitloads of patterning with a pencil when you can use photoshop brushes. I'm doing this the hard way because I want to ink it later.

A3 paper, lead pencils. Has taken up about ... over 8hrs of my time already. Partially inspired by Klimt (he's one of my chosen theme artists for my own portrait coming up). Shall move to scraps later.
