Trade: Grimm

About a month ago asked me if I was interested in a art trade with her… whatta question, of curse I was! There is something trilling in knowing a your character is drawn by someone else, in a foreign country, isn’t it?
She did an awesome, fantastic antique-like picture of my Derial and Lifreic, two characters of mine I myself haven’t drawn for ages. It was fantastic to “see” them again after more than 7 years (and they looked great done by her pencil!)

Here you have my half of the trade then: Grimm, her tough boy from the “Clan du Paris”. Cool boy, bad temper, a sad history and the goatee: could someone ask for more? *L*
Hope he came as you hoped, Coda.

My first trade and the first time I used a pose reference: it was months I was flirting around this [link] since I saw it (© ). That pose had to be used somewhere, even just for a Spiderman or Nightcrawler fanart, but apparently I found a different application before to precipitate again in a Marvel phase (even if, still, I didn’t managed to render the nice perspective of the photo).
For the rough background -that you can barely see- , it’s, *clearly*, a corner of Notre Dame.

If someone is interessed I have also a version without the wings: apparently I always forget something important… [link]
