Description $10 sketch commission for

This was really fun to work on, even if I did make the character look a little more vengeful than I intended. I actually just wanted a more... Wind blown effect, but I ended up liking the expression I had hastily drawn in during the preliminary stages and decided to just let the rest of the image work around it.

I think I should partially blame it all on Private Eye by Alkaline Trio.

Anyways, Toby belongs to

And I'm totally willing to take on more of these character sketch, note me if you're interested.

A certain quote is brought to my mind from this picture that begins with "Curse you", but I shall not sully this DA page with it's horrible cheesiness.

Just what makes a sleuth "super" anyhow, eh?

And a quick question...don't magnifying glasses, instead of magnifying something, show something farther away if you're looking into them from the other side? Or do they magnify from both sides? I don't have one on hand to check and my school magnifiers have opposite concave and convex sides, so this might just be a different brand.

You're absolutely right.

I really needed one of my own to use as a ref. D=

And thanks!

Hey Link, I think the magnifying glass needs more refraction, i think his upper arm would end up a bit wonky from it imo, anyways, great sketch.

Dang. You obtained some awesome perspective and a fun interpretation in this sketch. Diggin' your version of that trench coat. I can definitely hear the "Curse You!!!!" in his posture (and the caption helps).
