Description
This is the oldest Mikhail brother (Vladimir is the middle child) - and oddly I think this is the first time I've drawn Vervain in ages. I don't like to draw him, because I don't like him all that much. He's a bit of a bastard, frankly.
Vervain likes working out, making money, bullying those weaker than him (which, to be honest, is most people) and the look on people's faces when they find out that he actually has a brain like a knife edge as well as muscles. He does not live with his brother.

I have two actually, although I am always reworking my original characters right now.
Thanks for the interest.
[link] Pan (I call him that more than just say, Panther.) ripping a peace treaty of some kind. Not my best of him but it's getting there.
[link] some panther reference sketches with earlier concept of him.

Just a little bit. Vervain's nowhere near as cute, though.

His shoulders.....
Wrrrraaaauuuu.....
Sexy thing...but I like Vladimir better. Vlad's got a nice soft expression, and Vervain does sound...wicked.
Man, if these are two Mikhail brothers, I MUST see the youngest!!

You wanna see what the youngest Mikhail looks like? He was one of the first pics uploaded into my gallery. His name is Valentin Mikhail and he's here: [link]

ooooOOOOOooooo...
Vervain.......
*glomps pic and eats it* 
Er, ahem. Sorry, trying times and all that. *coughs*
Really glad you drew this, I always wondered how you saw him, and I do love the warm colour tones in this pic. So warm. So furry. So nasty.
*sighs dreamily and contents herself with cuddling her stuffed tiger*

*shudder* if you want to borrow him, you can. But I warn you, he's nowhere near as nice to cuddle as a stuffed tiger.
Yes, this is how I see him...he's changed a bit over the years, but he's pretty much the same old character underneath.
What's so trying about these times then? *pokes anxiously*

Mm, I really like the fiery colour scheme on this. Flaaaaaaames...

Vervain... like the Efrafa guard-rabbit in Watership Down? Fabulous drawing. Just look at the flames! And I can see what you mean about his mind -- I can see it in his eyes. Mm. Grim. He must be great at chess!

Hmm. I love that book... and teh film, of course, but the book was one of teh first big novels I read as a younger person, around 12 I think I was. Possibly not exactly age-appropriate, but there you go.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes, exactly like the efrafan!

The eyes stick out in particular. Great work on the upper chest (sticks out for some reason.) I love his expression. Very cool!

Thankyou! Over the last few years I've been working to improve my work on male anatomy, so it's nice to know I'm having an effect.

Geehee... I need to work on my chests. They keep coming out too circular... o_O Any tips?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Circular? Hmmm...you got a link for an example? If you have, I can do a redline over it to try and give you some pointers, if that would be of any help to you.

Thank you so much!
This pic has me questioning things: [link]
Not as bad but I'm still curious: [link]
Not nearly as bad as either two but could be more realistic: [link]
Thanks in advance for your commentary!

Sorry I haven't had time to help you out on these yet. Time constraints! Please be patient while I try to sort out my life...

No problems! Life is something that happens to all of us, no matter how much we try and avoid it!
... I've been nastily busy myself. AP reaching peak and artists block has meant virtually no art for the last month.

Well, I finally did a fur...thingy...tutorial. Finally!

But he looks like such a badass. Oooh, ahhh.

I must not have seen a picture of Vervain before... I would've expected him to have long hair; a tendency to wear it down, but conceding to a ponytail at formal events.
Then again, almost any adult lion with short hair seems like an odd idea.
Didn't get the OMG he's hot response, but it's a nice-looking drawing.
Did you touch his hair at all with the white pencil, because the light spots up there look like white paper that you didn't want to try and cover because it might've ruined the flow.

I have very few pictures of Vervain...at all. The last one I drew of him is a kiddie portrait...him when he was 6. He did used to have long hair, but he had it chopped off, and as you say it tends to get him noticed in a crowd.
I did slash around in his mane with white pencil a bit, yes.

Not one to mess with! Or get close to, or try to like... Amazing how you can say so much in a picture. I can see why you don't like him that much, but even so, good to see him at last.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*laughs* I think I drew him as a sort of therapy...I was feeling annoyed and sort of Vervain-ish, so I drew him to get him out of my head. And it worked.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
let me guess he has a hot temper? in any case, the description of him is almost nto needed, one just look at him and see that jarky and macho style ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hee hee..yes, he does have a temper, but it's surprisingly slow-burn. I'm glad the picture conveys his character effectively.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ooo... He's the one who tried to hard boil the youngest, right? Man this guys mean.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*chuckles* You remembered!! Yes, Vervain did once try to boil his unhatched brother Valentin in a saucepan. Kids, huh? What will they think of next?

OMG, this is so beautiful!!
