	Historical character design
	Goodness, the replies on my last entry! I'm an illustrator, not a historian! Thank you just the same :3 I figure I'll look through that entry and when the opportunity strikes I'll do another one of these with whatever historical figure inspires me at the time. Here's Henry the VIII'th I am, Henry the VIII'th I am I am! Suggestion by arbeywolf Final Current Mood: artistic Current Music: Saltwater Radio on Pandora

Oh wow, these are wonderful! I love the style. All the different little expressions and poses are very much alive.

why thank you! I was hoping I captured some of that. I'm really bad at cleaning things up and consistency so this was an interesting exercise.

Great, great, GREAT job on the face. Stylized, readable, but not Disney-clone at all. Rockin'!!!
