"El Lector" (= The Reader; I'm learning Spanish). My SECOND entry to the Arcane Idol contest. It had been an unfinished thought but I felt this idea still held enough promise to forego an hour of two of sleep. I like it better than my first entry, The Contortionist. I made a pencil drawing of him first but overpainted it entirely, and I really need to do more and detailed pencil drawings again! I almost stopped... my poor, good old friends. Although, truth be told, I was happy to be rid of pencils.

My entry to the Arcane Idol Original Character Contest on deviantArt - "The Contortionist", drawn after rhythmic gymnast Marina Durunda. Character drawn in pencil, then inked, and coloured digitally. The goal was to be confused by the overlapping movements, which also made it hard to keep track while painting her ;)
