Mikhail - First Concept

This piece marks my return to Painter IX. I've been shying away from the program for sometime but i figured I should continue practice using it. This is a concept of my character, Mikhail, of which I started during my summer vacation. Unfortunately, my roommate pointed out that he looked (terribly) like the new Ansem from Kingdom Hearts II (I have yet to reach Ansem's appearence in the game). I will probably redesign him again since I do not wish to make it seem as if I copied this character from Square-Enix (which I didn't). People have also pointed out that he looked like a character from a Sci-fi Western which was not my intention.

MEDIUM: Pencil, Corel Painter IX, and Adobe Photoshop 7.0
