My first time drawing something for a Gaia Online contest (grand prize is a devil tail!). The contest thread can be found here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4822324
Description of Orasteele's character, Fredrick "Strego" Williamson, is as follows:
"He's not tall, about 5'9". Long, platinum blonde, almost white hair and dark green eyes. He is elegant and smooth, and always wears some form of coat with tails and usually a top hat and cane. He owns a variety of extravegant long coats, it is even rumored that he even owns a purple pimp outfit. Under the coat he most often wears leather high necked shirt that zipped up the front and black jeans. The image he has created for himself is cool and aloof, an artistic genius with power and little care for the people around him. He has complete confidence of his situation and a wicked smile. His true self, however, loves the flowing lines of black and white, raises tropical fish, and is romantic enough to enjoy open, flowing silks while standing on his balcony at night, watching the moon. He loves to play, tease, and seduce."
Done with Sakuras and Sharpies. Would've posted it sooner, but Sheezy was having PMS.
Contest ends on the 19th of April, 2005; wish me luck!

No way...heck no way! This image is gorgeous and there is not one comment. Either no one sees your art or, people just don't know good art when they see it.
The stunning folds, ryhthmn and harmony of black and white, the varity and unity of th efish in the background, the variations of lines, and delicate details make this a stunnign peice of work even uncolored. It actually looks as if it should not be colored. All I can say is wow.
