half a prayer

Description

So this is my 100th deviation. I haven't really seen anyone else pay much heed to this particular benchmark, but given how lethargic I tend to be, and how little work I actually finish, I thought it'd be nice, if only for myself, to try to make this one something special. This piece is something I started ages ago, but haven't touched at all in over a year. I always meant to come back & finish it, but just never seemed to get around to it. I wouldn't really want to guess at how long it actually took in total, but I'm fairly happy with how it's turned out.

The character is Jack Half-a-Prayer - the Man-tis - a somewhat enigmatic vigilante of sorts, who plies his 'trade' in New Crobuzon, the main city of China Meiville's Bas-Lag books. I reckon this pic likely falls somewhere in the timeline of Perdido Street Station - a very hot summer. I'd like to make the Ribs looks a bit more impressive, but I've been playing with this for far too long already. Maybe I'll come back to it someday...

[EDIT] - changed the settings on the full-view size. Hadn't noticed that little submission detail.

pretty darn awesome!!! somehow I always pictured the ribs being outside the city and kinda looming over the entire thing, but does not detract from this awesomeness!
