If only we had gone together, I would have died with a heart beating in my chest. Oh, they drive me insane. The whole *dying on the same blade.* I will never recover. And of course, credit to @huntseric for Beleg with vitiligo, which apparently is so deeply ingrained in my imagination that I couldn't come up with a design for him without it.

Beleg before his hair turned silver because of Turin old age.
Don’t worry, I’m still doing modern au requests, I was just hit by inspiration.
For the anon who asked about life drawing, here’s an example of how I do it:
The structuring is the most important part. Try to get the features as accurate as possible. Resist the urge to go into the details. It looks weird right now because of the lack of shading.
Getting the lighting right is also important. You need to figure out where the direct light is coming from.
The rendering is actually the easiest part. Once you’ve got the position of the features and the lighting, all you need to do is fill it in.
Another thing that I’ve had to learn is the importance of contrast. You need darkness to contrast the light parts so don’t be afraid to darken the necessary parts.
Spin the wheel up to three times and determine who is going in your car for a multi-day road trip. How is the road trip going? Will you make it to your destination successfully (or alive)?
