Generations Bit 2 WIP

This is a piece I'm working on for an assignment in my conceptual illustration class. I don't want to get into the details of the assignment at the moment. This is still a work in progress. I'm thinking of moving the sword so that it's pointing down instead of up, that way I can crop off the top space and have the figure printed bigger when I present it. I still need to do something with the feet and legs. THey are mostly abstract shapes at the moment. I'll work on that.

After I've finished drawing I'm either going to paint it digitally or print it out and watercolor it. I should probably get the hang of watercolor so I guess I'll watercolor it. My professor Barron Storey told us in class today about this new stuff that is an acrylic base for pastels. you paint it on just about any surface, even smooth surfaces, and it will make it have a fibery, paper-like tooth so that you can use watercolor and other media that normally wouldn't work on a slick surface. So maybe I'll print this drawing out on thick glossy photo paper and then put some of that stuff on it and watercolor it.

My professor seems to like it so far. What are your thoughts on this? I'll post a revision tomorrow.
