Je Suis Prest {art}

I've done a couple of tipsy sketches of this character, but felt like doing something more complicated in color. I really did try to get him to look AT US like the reference photo I was using, but he tilted his head farther over and kept looking past me, no matter what I did. I figure it's that he's looking at his lady love, Claire. :D

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] amphigoury and [livejournal.com profile] alby_mangroves for the beta help, and to [livejournal.com profile] jelazakazone and [livejournal.com profile] rocknvaughn for all the cheerleading!

{ETA: So I couldn't resist, and I drew the lovely Claire as a companion piece to this one. You can see it here: "Mo Nighean Donn". I also couldn't resist doing a pencil portrait of this actor, Sam Heughan.}

Thanks, Thalia! <3

I've done a couple more drawings since this (which I keep forgetting to link here); there's a companion to this one of the lady I think he's looking at, called "Mo Nighean Donn", and a portrait of this actor, Sam Heughan.
