Howdy!

here. This is my Secret Santa for
ArkillianDragon
of her characters Alex and Athena.

I laughed out loud when I found out I was Secret Santa for Arkillian because I already know her pretty well and didn't know too many of the other participants.
I'm pretty much done with the line art. I want to make a few tweaks to Alex's face and a few other places before I move to color. I think I will do some light color on this similar to what I did for my commission for Arkillian:
Overall I'm very happy with how this is turning out. I worked on the line art for hours because I often don't know exactly where the figures are going to be posed. I sort of try it one way and then erase, then try another way, then erase. I feel as though I am sculpting because I start off with light lines and then gradually build up the muscles, drapery, etc. At one point I had almost completely finished line art for Alex, realized it wasn't working, and erased him completely and started over with drawing him. And I'm glad I did because the way it is working right now is a lot more successful than the initial line art I had for him.
Any critique is welcome here but I may start color on this soon so if you have any comments on the line art, please make them as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

Not alot i can see to critique......I thought perhaps his left hand looked a bit odd, like it the fingers should be more relaxed...but I think that's more personal taste than anything else.
Can't wait to see it coloured!
Prettiful.
Can't wait to see it finished.

OMGS!! That is a shocker! We've know each other for ages- I thought I was going to get one of the newbees XD (Due to chance ) Luls This looks really pretty BR- and it is REALLY cool to see you drawing again I can't think of the last pic you posted- and what a pic! The two of them look so wonderful together ^^ I like how Athena has the elegant sword
Critique... um... Not sure what you have planned for Alex's left hand- looks like it should be holding something- is it?
*picks up stranded pieces of Alex's clothing and fangirls*
WEEEEEEEE!!!! OMGs- this is totally awesome ^^
I wasn't sure what you'd think of Athena's sword because I didn't see any weapons for her in your gallery but you did draw her with armor before and I really liked the armor you designed for her.
I'll fix that hand. It's not meant to hold anything. I was just trying to find a good pose for it. I'll revise it.
No really- I've been writing Dragon twins since I was 12- It takes OVER 2 hours to tell you about my story- and even then, I'll miss out a heap cause of WIP stuff, or stuff I forget. Very few people actually know what the full deal with the world is. Like- my writers for Slayer's Game. Even then, they have to confer with me ^^; Luls. Athena has been around since I was... maybe 15... In the story, Edward dies, and gets reincarnated into a girl, which is why she's so similar to Edward in colour, but I hated her being part of the dragon family, but liked her relationship with Alex- she's the only character I ever HAVE liked with Alex. She's VERY out going. In my story, she was into running- she still is. I just gave her a few issues to compliment the world XD
You want in depth? Try Bryan and the gods. All of them. THEY have major background story. Bryan has layers too. I don't know if anyone could write him but me ^^; He's so bipolar and cold ^^;
The only thing I can see off quick to improve would be the guy's left foot- which seems a bit too twisted in contrast to his whole body.
