This has probably, nay, this has DEFINITELY been the longest I've ever spent on a piece in my entire drawing experience. It isn't perfect, and I swear to god, if I have to shade and highlight hundreds of tiny little rivets ever again, it'll be too friggin' soon, but it's about as finished as I'm capable of making it at this point and time. I had tried him without the little edge highlight around him, but he didn't quite contrast enough, so... yeah.
This drawing was mostly about trying to get the hang of painter, which I've still got a ways to go, but I'm learnin'
Well, that and I fucking love Contra :/
Anyway, it's late, I'm tired, I'm going to fucking bed. Save up energy for my next big project. (PROBABLY BIOSHOCK :/)
Enjoy!

First of all, this is badass. About as badass as the game itself. All the work you did on the little details really paid off, if you ask me. Especially on all those darned rivets. I'm liking the use of color, and for some reason the trail of smoke really stands out when I look at it. Overall this is just an awesome piece of work, and kudos for doing art for Contra, since not a lot of people do. ^_^

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
