More March arts!

So I had the flu last week, which took me out of commission for...well, the week. I don't think I've had the flu since high school, and I'm glad it took 10+ years. I'm totally willing to wait another 10+ years to catch it again. @_@

Anyway, sketch dump today, since unfortunately I was too busy trying not to die last week to get anything accomplished. First off, an aborted character portrait. I really wanted a grittier feel to him, but unfortunately my elf came out looking like a Calvin Klein ad. Oh well. Second picture is a WIP. I love the covers to old sci-fi pulp magazines, so I am trying to recreate the look and feel of those...just with a few differences.
