^ Nice optio. Though Thanas can correct me if I am wrong (likely :wink: ), but didn't they mainly carry clubs to discipline the troops in the lines before them?

The guy's supposed to be holding a pilum and not one of those practice/riot clubs (no page space for the pointy tip).

Here's my sketch of Soviet jet plane's cockpit:

Some Discworld fanart:

I really like these drawings and better still I drew them without any references, getting the cartoonish facial features and expressions right (while making them look quite solid). I wonder where Havoc and TheMuffinKing are?

I don't know about Havok, but I've been working massive amounts of overtime (thanks to buying a newish truck!) in addition to being tied up with the National Guard and school.

Your artwork is really coming a long way, keep it up. I can see that you are getting facial features down very well and that you are having moving into your own style of artwork! I look forward to seeing more stuff!

I need to set aside some time to draw. :(

I see and thanks for the feedback, but I'm looking forward to your RoboCain. :P

And here's how I'm maturing as a sketcher when I draw the same/similar sort of Discworld creatures again:

I don't know what specifically about it makes this reaction, but that last one is really awesome to me. I might just be a sucker for seriously noir strict black and white as opposed to greyscale, but that's really standout to me. It's got a good dynamic and it's just got an exciting quality to it with a good amount of depth to it on closer inspection.
