Description
Referenced used: fav.me/d1rhjy5 Again by the awesome SenshiStockImagine my surprise when she had smoker poses XD He's meant to be smoking weed rather than cigarettes but still. I was pleasantly surprised.
Anyway, yeah me and my mystical backgrounds XD they don't really make sense half the time. I was going to try doing a transparent edging on the sides but...I did the ocean box and realized I had made it big enough to accommodate him so there was no point to do transparent edges, so I just fooled around with stars and textures and that was the result.
As for Luke he had a particularly rough time in one story, and I was just inspired to draw him kinda...cracking. Smoking the marijuana is one of his few releases at one point in his life. Won't get into everything here but my baby was under a ton of stress and this is how I vented for him. Again the background doesn't really suit the scene.
So, again a reference was used...and it really helps me learn. The hand came out great. The tears were practice, again something new. I do love how his shirt looks; I've been getting better at them but I'm really pleased with this one. His hair is a crap shoot, per usual, but that's what I get for making it unique.
The big thing were the eyes. I'm really experimenting with them trying to make them different from my usual. My little sis Gem really inspires me the most but I'm not the master she is at them lol The eyes and the shirt I'm quite happy with.
But yeah a lot of emotion here, again venting feelings. My poor sweet Luke <3 I've been drawing him in a lot of emotional situations lately.
Credit to Senshistock again for the incredible stock. You've helped get me somewhat out of a long artist block/rut and it means a lot.
Luke Bertier belongs to me.

Awwww but I love the mystical background! 
The hand definitely came out great, and I like the definition you've given to his arms. I can definitely tell that you're improving, and I agree that the shading on the shirt looks very nice - it gives it a wispy, billowing kind of look, like there's a bit of a breeze wherever he's at. The eyes are really beautiful, too. I think you've done some amazing work here!
Sorry it's taken me so long to comment!

Oh thank you! Yeah sometimes with backgrounds I just start experimenting with stuff and once I have something I like I stick with it XD I do think it helped set the mood. I imagined him walking along a beach while he was having that smoke...pretty much just like you described. He's got a huge backstory and one event is likely what set this off, and that's pretty much what his state of mind would be.
I really appreciate that feedback. I'm proud that I'm finally learning how to shade clothes XD and shade in general really while slowly improving my anatomy. Again thank you so much! And no worries! You can comment as you please I'll always be appreciative! Thanks for the fave too!

Awwww, poor Luke! I never thinking to say this to you but it's truly emotional and inspiring what you done at a result. I haven't seen much of your works for a longtime and I think that's the payoff for your absence. To growth and keep to be a better person. Your style is getting more detailled and have much lives than in the past decade, so that's truly a improvement. It's a change of the usual posers stuff I am also getting sick to doing it. There is strong use of feelings which it's hard to describe it only with words.
Anyway, that's a great feast for your art. Hopefully you will have more stuffs in your directory soon. ^^

Thank you Martin! I've had a particularly rough year for different reasons...I'm alright but especially around last September things just got really...bad, and that slowed down my art progress, but lately I've been keeping at it little by little and it's starting to come back 
Thank you so much Martin I really appreciate it! I'm going to keep trying my best!

You're welcome Lauren. Oh, I am sorry if things gotten down to you in the last year. Me too I getting a very rough year at work which I am starting to find new ways to got another job sooner or later. I getting one call for a job in the summer but it didn't worked much at I expected. And something I didn't getting prepared for. This summer's crazy for obvious reasons like something I getting sick it's really happening is stop to made cultural appropriation to creators is the same concern I have with my heroine and stop to made myself sexual approriation as if I stole the females artists jobs.
Learning construction and anatomy is something I struggling for a long decade to made it good. I gotten tons of criticisms about this, some are not so pleasant to read. But I starting to get it, with tons of practice, discipline and patience. Finally, it's my love for animation and comics who inspire me to draw. Tough I push a extra touch I wishing to be made several years ago. To give to my heroine Christine ABS at a way to learn to deal with the difference of others. And on a second tough, she is more sexy and also, true and lovable than when she started to be my heroine in 2009. I think reboot her have improve the character and her universe by make something I really wanted first, but wasn't informed enough of what it looks working on a comic story. We learn it with experience and I done it more for fun than be popular in the social media where I am not too in love with, notably in the past months.
You don't know how many episodes I create for Christine since 2009. From my stiff and ugly pages of 2009 to today, they have large improvements and hard works there. ^^

I'm sorry to hear you've had a rough time with work as well. Adversity builds us up supposedly but it can still be rough to deal with. As for me my problems just took a toll on me to the point I just quit doing pretty much everything...but I've gotten better and I hope you have as well
You've come a long way since then...to think it's almost been 10 years! That's a good motivator is to look back and realize how much better you've gotten, how much you've learned, and the like. It helps you stick it out and keep going! And yes it's absolutely the best to do it for the fun of it and because you enjoy it. If you're not enjoying what you do, it's never worth it no matter what else you're getting from it, so it most definitely needs to be something you love and something to make you feel good.
You can only keep getting better from here and I really hope that you continue to reach greater heights!
