WOOT! Finally done. Dx That was absolutely painful. Haha (This is Admiral Karner of "Future Agents" a request by Pilot-Obvious on dA )
For this drawing, I admit, beyond the sketch I was entirely winging it. I wanted to try out something different and messed with the order I normally do things in.
For most drawings it goes like this:
Sketch
Lineart
Color
Shading
Background
Overlays
For this one it went like this:

Yeah. Messed up. But it came out pretty good for having absolutely no plan aside from a basic idea. Since the title of "Admiral" is reserved for the Navy most times, I wanted to incorporate the sea somehow. What better backdrop for a super sexy Naval Admiral, than a sunset on the ocean?
Also, I really like the character's design itself. I had a lot of fun drawing this! I also learned I hate hats. xD
