Ravenshield's Hybrid

Here it is! (finally). First picture from me in a long time. I had to learn how to art all over again.

This is Hybrid, one of 's Space Pirate characters. If you never have, go check out her gallery -- she has the coolest style plus great originality.

NOTE: SPACE PIRATES ARE THE HARDEST THINGS TO DRAW EVER. I have something like 20 thumbnail sketches before I could come close the getting it right. I'll post those in my scraps at some point. As characters, they are build interestingly, with long forearms and huge upper bodies vs the rest of their torso. Their muscle structures are also kind of sinewy plus they have fabric-skin.

Hybrid isn't a typical Space Pirate, but I liked him the most because of the way his face is different from the others, which I thought was much more expressive (I actually glanced at a picture of a dolphin for the jaw). He is also more of a yongster, and likes to dance (I hear) so I gave him an ipod. I also gave him birds, because it's from me and I thought it sensible.

Photoshop. I wish I could say this only took me a very short time to color this, but I suck so it took two evenings in front of the TV.
