Alkan's Art

[Alkan]

So, art is kind of a big part of my life - quitting gaming and taking action is one thing that will allow me to take it to the next level with much more practice.

Local Motors Competition

Study of Crocodile Eye:

This was done with pencil, but then I used the burn tool in Photoshop to bring out the contrast since it was very faint before.

For a conceptart.org competition:

Study of Frans Hals self-portrait after 3 hours:

Several other portrait studies, each timed at exactly 1 hour, in order of completion:

This is a fantasy/sci-fi humanoid species that's been in my mind's eye for like 8 years:

Mountain with a sort of fortress-like structure carved out of it (done after a few studies of mountains):

Your art looks great and really professional I am impressed by how talented you are. I would like to see more of your works, do you have a gallery on websites such as Deviantart? I do not draw myself, but I love browsing artworks on Deviantart, and I remember that you can enable a critique on your work on this portal, so that people could give you some feedback and useful advice. For me, your pictures are very beautiful and stunning

Thank you all for your kind words.

@Primmulla I've got a long ways to go before I'm on professional level. Thousands of hours. Professional is stuff like this:

The practice gap between my work and that stuff is waaaay bigger than beginner stuff and my stuff. That level is what I am working to achieve at some point in my life. Part of this process of self improvement and quitting games is that I am equally as passionate about science and music as well. So, I literally have to take hard work on as a way of life if I want to live it in the way I want.
