%doodles %illustrators Another quick model sketch of a female. Somewhere she morphed into a euro male...but those models all look rather.....similar. Just started playing with the airbrush and contrast. Started going for a videogame cover/poster look as the brushes led that way......fun. 2009-12-18T08:15:41Z 31184 false false 5016 605 Group zakmorris http://s3.amazonaws.com/blellow/media_files/7757/rawr_profile.jpg %doodles %illustrators Hola Blellowtopia, been a while.
