Nomad Drawing

skylineaddict · Feb 7, 2009, 01:28 PM

I've decided not to sell it on eBay, but I will be posting this on one other forum. If that's not allowed, then I will happily stop the selling. Now the details.

I spent a total of about 13-15 collective hours on this project, so you can be guaranteed that this is not just a simple sketch.

It does not look exactly like Nomad from Crysis, but this is the best I could get it to look with the limited amount of time I had.

It has been sprayed with a fixative to prevent smudging and to lengthen the life of the piece itself. Last of all, it's been signed by the artist, me, and I will offer a fully money back refund if you are not satisfied with the piece, but the refund will only be given once I have received the item back from the buyer.

My starting price is $200, and I know that's really high, but considering how much time and effort I put into it, I think it is worth it. I will sell to the person that offers the most (And I will update you on how much people are bidding on the other forum), and it will be shipped in that frame for protection (Other artists roll it up and put it into UPS Tubes, I don't like that idea).

Thank you for reading. Below are the images before and after adding a background. The second one is with the frame that the drawing will be shipped in. I have taken both pictures at 7 megapixels so you can see each and every stroke mark and how I've shaded it. (56K WARNING!)

EDIT: Forgot to add this. Frame is 11"x17" and the drawing itself, within the borders is 9"x15".

Yes, yes it did. I started it last year, mid-December, and worked on it a little bit every day until mid-January.

Very nice, if I had the money and the space, I would buy one of them.

Sorry to say guys, but I may have just sorted out a deal with one of my buddies. He's paying $300 for this and two other pieces I did in the past.

I meant $300 total... If I got $900 then I doubt I'd be at home typing it. I'd be out getting drunk!!! Even though it's illegal for me to drink...
