claymore - Dietrich

sketch i made long ago but failed to finish it, originally i wanted a nice clean picture but something went wrong, i didnt capture things as i wanted and then i decided to speedpaint over it

this person is character from claymore manga, current generation of warriors, pretty strong + intelligent... nice combination

why is it that one can like these characters so much.. it cannot be put into words

edit: improved some things, now i can sleep better
edit: [link] improved version
