Some personal work. Trying to mimic a softer realistic style.
Sketch can be found on my twitter.

Thank you!
I used a lot of reference material for this. The mini crossbow are rendered after a pair that chaos crafted for me, along with my jacket. I used a few photos of hyenas that I took at the Milwaukee a while back. Went to the zoo on a whim, and was so happy I had my DSLR and my telephoto marco len(ef 100mm f/2.8l). Did not know till arriving that they bring the hyenas in to a smaller inside area, and hide food and peanut butter around the enclosure in the afternoon. I was there for about an hour, and took around 16 gigs of photos. I also own a replica hyena skull, which really helped in drawing the teeth just right.
The studio I am working at is having me do all the art in this softer style, and just wanted to try it out with some more freedom.

Dude you drew those crossbow things awesomely (I know nothing about weaponry)
And I like the softer style, it's beautiful! Plus the way you did the picture all green and used the lighting effects. You are just so talented. I also like the realistic look, the face in particular - you can see the structure in the cheekbones and muzzle, with them teefs! AND the detail on that jacket, WOAAAAAH
