Description
I wanted to do an Ender's Game piece before Ender becomes synonymous with Asa Butterfield's face -not that I have anything against Asa's face, I just can't draw real people. :-P
I also wanted to try and play with contrasts (light/dark, detailed/solid).

I just finished Ender's Game, and your depiction of Ender is amazing... this is basically his entire meaning in the book. "... Ender carried with him a dried white cocoon..."

Oh but I love his face and hands. I think perhaps keeping the background simpler in terms of tones -- only 3 tones maybe or only 2 -- might have helped with the contrasts, but I think you achieved everything very well!

Yeah that'd probably have been more effective...
I honestly didn't think about the background as
much as I should have. I-:
But thanks!

Yeah, it's easy to get carried away with the main focus of an image and kind of wind up with the background being an afterthought. I do that a lot haha. c: But either way, stellar!

Oh, Ender ! Just love this fabulous book ! (but i thinkΒ the first volume can be read alone, without following ^^).Β

Why yes, of course! I just personally prefer the Ender's Saga as a set;
the whole thing has so much more depth that way and really expanses
the idea of communication with the unknown and what not. (-:

Interesting point of view ^^

Really love your rendering style, its really unique as its cell shaded, yet still has a lot of tone c: I'm completely in love with it! I also don't know Ender ...but now i'm kinda curios about it o:

Heh, thanks! I'm still experimenting with rendering but I think I'm going into a good direction.
Thank you also for watching me!
Ender's Game is... well, I think it is safe to say that it's a YA sci-fi classic and there are people who absolutely love it and people who absolutely loath it. There's also a lot of controversy surrounding the author, Orson Scott Card, because of his anti-gay statements and what not.
But I personally love the book and would recommend it (and the whole Ender's Saga) to anyone. It's quite a beautiful piece of work.

I have to admit that I did spend most time on the hands so hey,
good to hear it didn't go to waste. (-:

I really like the sculptural quality of this drawing! The more detailed, light areas are a nice contrast to the simple black. Lovely!
