I was listening to the former and came up with the latter.

This is a scratchboard piece produced by ComradeCrimson (Ki McKenzie) in the year 2016 in the late month Hematite (June) of that depicts the male dwarf Dodrin Pinestone the Thrower of Pain fighting against the male Dragon Eru Battlewhips The Terror of Flaying. It is of dubious quality.
Dodrin and Eru are characters from my Dwarf Fortress playthrough. This is a gift for my pal Tokinep, whose currently stationed abroad in the navy. The scene depicts Dodrin fighting Eru inside a cavern that was filled with about 17 victims and their ravished skeletons and bits of their armour, although Eru had killed far more people than that, having killed the absurd number of 452 various people throughout its modestly long life of 223 years.
The battle involved Dodrin and about 9 other companions, who were all roasted alive or torn asunder by the dragon's great teeth and claws within the mountain cave hideout this dragon was found in, and it ended up with Dodrin slaying the dragon after a long and brutal fight that costed him an entire leg and several hours of repeated and bloody combat. Going close to the dragon with his bismuth bronze axe a relatively suicidal plan due to Eru's rather vicious, powerful bite and great strength; the beast being many times larger than the Dwarf hero, Dodrin decided to utilize his numerous bronze and iron darts to wound the creature first.
Throwing countless darts and utilizing his steel shield to block the torrent of scorching flames, the strategy worked as even though the darts initially didn't penetrate the thick underbelly and hide of the beast, it struck and broke its wings and eventually legs, some of the darts getting stuck in its flesh and causing bleeding damage. Eventually the dragon began to succumb to pain after having nipped Dodrin in the leg, severing a motor nerve and causing him to lose its function.
Off and on through the next 3 hours, Dodrin repetitively struck the Dragon with the darts and axe as it woke and passed out from the excruciating pain, he himself barely holding on to his own mortality as he grit his teeth through the pain, withstanding it due to his rather high threshold and determination to kill the beast.
Dodrin later on went to exit that cave alone, having to spend many nights in the mountains until finally having the means to travel back to a village within a day's worth of travel as to avoid Bogeymen at night. Legend has it Dodrin still breathes to this very day, never forgetting the horrifying battle with Eru Battlewhips, one of the greatest kills in his relatively long list of slayed enemies.

Droppin' some quick sketches. One being a selfie and the other a random cartoony dragon.
Looks like you've progressed quite a lot in your absence, well done.
Curious to see a more elaborate recent piece.

Big ol' doodle dump here, apologies in advance for my lack of scanner at the moment:
Very nice! Is that 3rd picture a Rhodok of some kind?

Nah a quick doodle of a D&D character I did for a friend.
Ahhhhhh your anime skills are great
Thanks! I don't just do animes though.
Recent stuff I never got around to posting.
More scratchboard pieces for y'all.
Genji from Overwatch, made it as a birthday gift for a bud. I do not play the game.
And a Guardsman from a bygone roleplay I GM'ed-
Blurb-
"This is a scratchboard piece depicting Guardsman Urtoluq of the 307th Brontian Long Knives, a character from my (cancelled) Brewing Problem 2: Struggles for Survival roleplay writing collaboration on the Alfa Legion forums. Urtoluq is the survivor of Tyranid bio acid, having tackled a Tyranid warrior off of his sergeant and stabbing it with his war knife, but enduring horrific burns on his face and shoulder, melting part of it. He is very timid and introverted, but has a very compassionate nature for his comrades and other people- and he has a rather noticeable stutter in his speech. Urtoluq felt no value for his own life, and had slight suicidal tendencies in the form of wishing to sacrifice himself for those he cared about, and found himself hideously ugly after his burns. He had a fairly protective relationship with former Guardsman Ines, a woman from the Morhav 124th Siege Infantry regiment- who may have gotten him to open up more perhaps, if the writing project had still continued."
I am also opening up commissions, 25 USD base price for a detailed pencil sketch (with charcoal pencils being an option for some form of colouration, as well as pen and ink) and scratchboard, there is no limits to multiple figures or backgrounds. Very complex or very simple works may be subject to renegotiation price wise.
Example of a sketch:
blurb-
"This is one of my Alfa Legion characters (who I may re-use in another chapter or piece of writing potentially for Warhammer 40k) who is a tactical marine with a power spear, bolt pistol and set of vox equipment from the Alfa Legion 7th Company. He hails from a Savannah like world called Harena, and was a tribal chieftain's son who is roughly based off of real life Mali warlord Sunjata and epic hero, Gilgamesh. Enkidush as a boy fought against his uncle, who deposed his father and took over. Enkidush led a brutal war against him, which got his brother installed on the throne- Enkidush then got recruited by a space marine chapter and became an (in)famous marine who was famed for his hunting skills and killing of wild beasts and enemies alike. Like a hunter who stalks his prey, Enkidush uses stealth, electronic warfare and communications disruption and his power spear and sheer cunning to sew terror amongst his enemies." I might change his backstory ofc; but yeah.

I've been to busy to post on this forum lately but here's some sketches:
You can be artistically retarded and give good critique. In fact some of the best advice I've got is from people who can't draw at all because they see past all the silly mastubatory details people like me tend to add.
The scifi soldier one is pretty noisy and is crying out for more large scale definition even if it's just some basic greyscale screentoning to define the volumes. Colour to define the materials would finish it off.
There are some weird things going on with the arms and their lengths, as well as the direction and position of the shoulders and chest, but it's hard to tell because of all the noise.

Looks badass PoisonCourtesan.
I especially like the last two. You've definitely evolved on your faces/heads.
