Marv by magnus

2011 sketch commission for IntrinsicVenom on deviantArt. I believe the character was pretty much a gryphon version of Marv from Sin City.

I love how you push proportions... I think I might have told you that before, but this is a great example. His huge arms and hands are the best <3 Also, I really admire how you can put so much character into birds!

Can't get enough of those spatulas ... er, I mean hands! Really damn expressive, especially the one that's holding the cig.

Great pic, so much character, exaggeration in all the right places, really organic sketching!
