Here you will find a conglomerate of old and new illustrations. Some are not that well-proportioned, contrasted properly etc. whereas others are, but overall, I think all of them have their own unique quality.

     This is a detailed fantasy drawing of a dark warrior who seems to have just come back from pillaging a village or hamlet. His stance and expression gives off a strong and powerful presence, and the flaming red, maroon and bronze/metallic color scheme, conveys he is of superiority in a very malevolent, patronizing manner. Defiantly could be the antagonist of a fantasy novel.

Compared to the dark warrior, these uncolored illustrations of 16th century puritans are more affable and palliative to view.  I created these characters after reading a well-loved novel. I often draw beloved characters from books I reread multiple times.
