Charby, a vampire

Charby the Vampirate and his favorite weapon, the hook. Bad motion effects!

This is a lot better than my previous attempts. I think that's due in part to doing those UIU pictures halfway manga/realistic recently. Besides that though, I haven't been practicing realism in between...I think it's when I take a break from something for a bit, I can sit back and analyze all the flaws in my previous work before I try again. Yeah I know this doesn't usually work, because hard-worn practice and just keeping at it is the best, tried-and-true method at improvement, but what can I say? I'm weird like that ^_^
Done with mechanical pencil, smudge stick and eraser...still things could use improvement but it makes the last two Charby pictures like this look gawdawful. (Especially the last one, or "Alfred E. Neuman" Charby)
