I don't draw the AFoR guys that often, so I decided it was time that I did something about it :D And Baen (front) and Rhys (back) are birds of a feather, so I had to draw these two together.

Both of these characters, but especially Baen, are quite ruthless, cunning, and arrogant... but they lack real class :XD: They often take on other people's identities so they can make their way through society, but no matter who they're pretending to be, they're true-blue scoundrels at heart. I wanted them to have an elegant and wealthy appearance... but at the same time, I wanted them to look crooked and sleezey. So, I settled on lots of olivy-greens and muddy blues. Baen almost ended up with a peacock feather in his hat (because peacocks are just awesome), but then I stopped myself since I realized that would just be overdoing it >__>

I also tried something new with perspective and shading. I've been moving steadily towards a more soft-shaded look, and I think I'm almost there :D I just need to mess around a bit more with hair and facial features. Also, I don't think that I'll be doing black outlines for lighter hair colors anymore; I used colored outlines a la Disney this time, and I think it looks a lot better.

Very beautiful work! I notice that you lineart is much more stylized too! I admire you very much! ^^
:icony-esk:
Geez I love your style!
It's so unique and captures so much beauty of the Victorian era. The textures work fantastically as do the colours :D
:iconydpgirl93:
Even the men have such gothic hands!
Love the perspective and texture.
:iconcomic-chic:

Soft-smooth is superior in most cases. It looks nice with your textures:)

That is my way for hair too. Either that, or no outline at all.
For all colors of hair. But yeah, it's most visible on blond/light brown or red.

About their faces... they look like identical twins. Are they?

...wait, did I just type that out loud?
:icongoonmann-85:
Awesome work! I love the design and everything as usual, the two suits look great. The detail you put it in even on these kinda costumes is just exceptional, I love the embroidery on the button-holes (makes me think of a grand habit a la francaise lol)

There seems to be dark red sections on several places on their suits. Is that meant to be blood?

because we're better than you...
:iconblackrose23:
Awesome, love the perspective/angle! :D :thumbsup:
:iconkuroki13:
i'm not sure i get the sleazy feeling from them, honestly. arrogant, very much so; sleezy, not really. maybe i'm just slow. XD

i like where you're shading's going, though.

i got dis, yo~
:iconseitou:
Well, at least I got down the arrogance...? XDDD;; Maybe I should've had them wearing less clothing... >O> Although that could've ended up down-right slutty XD
