Description I was home for the weekend, so I didn't have access to my drawing tablet. I did have my alcohol markers though, so I opted to draw a traditional image. It's been a pretty long time since my last one, so it's interesting to see how much I've changed since then.

As with most of my more experimental pictures, I opted to use Gavin as my subject matter. I mean, he looks cool doing just about anything, so there's a lot of leg room to mess up. I tried to use my color theory knowledge here and utilize tertiary colors. What do you think, did it turn out all right? I was inspired by a certain anime for this pose, can you tell what it is? I'll give you a hint, it's an old one.

His robe was supposed to be purple, but the scanner didn't quite catch it. Ah well.

Very nice, I love his ronin style clothing with the one sleeve design and that pose and foreshortening!

Thanks! I think I'll try to do foreshortening some more in my later drawings, it's a good thing to practice.

Thanks! The reference is from the second opening of the anime Lupin the third. That's a really old one, so I'm not surprised that nobody got it lol

Welcome now i remember you mentioning that anime earlier, I recall those cutie statues you have of that lady from the series. Yes sir, my memory is sharp... That is, only as it concerns certain topics lol

Cooolio!! This version of Gavin is awesome!!! Maybe he and Yecow can have a samurai showdown! Hahaha! 

Awesome use of markers here, it almost looks like a digital art! 
Love those deep blacks too, it adds depth to the image!

Awesome awesome!

That'd be pretty cool! They're both the short guys in the group, so it would be fitting for them to have a duel. Say, that gives me an idea! What if we did it as a collab piece? Like, I draw Gavin and you draw Yecow. Or not, I don't know. I'm just saying stuff, ha. Don't mind me and my silly ideas.

I was surprised by how well the markers turned out myself! It translated pretty well from how it looks in real life (well, with the exception of the purples, lol.) I was thinking back on when I was drawing my comics for class and all the black I used when doing it. I love making those THICK lines.

A collab would be a nice idea!! I agree to this!! Hahaha!!

Ahaa, I see! I'm glad you still have some ink left after that comic! Hahaha!!
And yup, thick lines makes 75% of thehaxman. Hahaha

Really?!?!?! Awesome! We've gotta talk about it some more then. I've never done one of these before, (well, I did the coloring one) but yeah.

I actually did that comic digitally, so I didn't use any ink at all. If I did that on paper, my makers would all be dead, lol. Wait, if thick lines is 75% of me, then what's the other 25%? Hmm...

Thanks! I'm glad that you do. It'd been a while since I used markers to draw, so I wasn't expecting it to come out how it did. But yeah, thanks!

Thanks! I'd been having trouble getting a drawing started lately, so I was looking at my older drawings for a bit. I realized that I kinda missed the thick lines I used to do, so I've brought them back. Lineless drawing is cool, but lines are awesome too!

Action is dramatic, I love the colors even though the purple didn't come out all of this still works. Very cool

Thanks! Yeah, the purple was a lighter variant so I think that's why the scanner didn't pick it up. But I'm glad that you still like it!

Thanks! I'm really glad you like it. I was looking at my older images and noticed that I wasn't drawing actiony scenes as much as I used to. So I opted to do one this time.

No problem! And I'm glad you did make a dynamic drawing
