Here's one I just completed this past week. This is a gift for my good friend on Homecoming Indomitable server, Sinferna and my character the Boricua Soldier.
I began this as a challenge to myself to work on some of my weaknesses. 1) Drawing women, always the hardest thing for me to accomplish, making women attractive and giving them more than static expressions, and 2) drawing backgrounds, I usually just give up after the characters are done. And lastly 3) finishing costumes to higher details, I too often would just draw the lines of the costumes and shade them, instead of actually making them extensions of the body that hang off and cast their own shadows or pick up highlights properly.
Over all I'm pretty happy with it for my first try at these weaknesses, I mean I don't love the background, but it could be a lot worse, lol. I also made the mistake of not doing any thumbnails to include the over all background with the characters, so starting the background with no plans of attack after the characters were finished was just an unnecessary additional difficulty.
I'm glad to finally be able to contribute to this thread, I used to love seeing all the commissions when the servers were live. I was a huge fan of Jomaro Kindred's work, and always wanted to get one of my characters done by him, but couldn't afford it at the time.
Anyway, I hope you guys like it and any feedback is most welcome! 😄
