I thought about posting another example of my art or rather how my art is looking, when I am still working on it. Here is an artwork of the character Jon Talbain (apparently the name is Gallon in Japan) from the video game series Darkstalkers. I started drawing it, because I wanted to draw a werewolf character for a change. btw: I also made an account on ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/arthuriel I have also an request to an admin or mod: could the thread title be changed to something like "Official RRU art thread*"? It would make it a bit clearer, what this thread is about (and wouldn't contain a spelling error). *other title idea: "Official RRU art thread - post your art, drawings and sketches here!"

New to this group so thought this would be a cool introduction! I played the PC version of Rock Raiders when it released and fell in love with the music, characters, and overall aesthetic of the game. Around that time I had several of the Lego sets but later on all the pieces got lost or put in storage. It wasn't until a few years ago that I went ahead and bought all the sets again including some I never owned before. I also bought Pohatu (with his original canister/disc) and did a realistic drawing of him. This started a series of realistic interpretations of Lego mini figures including one from Ice Planet (2002) and a Zotaxian from the UFO 1997 sets. So being a huge fan of Rock Raiders I want to do realistic illustrations of all the characters from the Rock Raiders sets so thought I'd start with Chief.

Recently I have been thinking about ways to make the forum a bit more active and wondered, which content fits better in a forum thread than a chat program like Discord and then I remembered this thread. There are some user-specific art threads in this forum (along the lines of "User X draws your avatar"), but this thread here seems to be intended as a general art thread for every user. Sadly it has been abandoned and so I thought that I should bring back some life to it. About my spaceship picture above: I still have it, but I haven't drawn a final version of it. Maybe I should do that. I start with this picture that I have drawn last year and it is still one of my favourite artworks. To some extend it's inspired by the character Tracer from Overwatch. But this isn't even my ultimate picture. Behold! (I put it in a spoiler, because it's too awesome): My artwork can also be seen in full resolution on my DeviantArt page (originally I created my profile to upload some L.M.S. Explorer pictures and my Insane Raiders comics).
