Lookin' good! (and very much almost exactly the way it looked last night. What in the hell have you been doing for the past 24 hours??? 
)
Can't wait to see the finished product!!!!! This one is going to be AWESOME!
Wow! I love it already. Awesome pose.
You never cease to amaze Graver. You go from strength to strength.
*consumes Graver's latest piece*
Mmm...tasty tasty inspiration.
Gah! Get back, goat, don't eat that, no... NO! noooooooooo....
Eh, oh well, that was just the pose sketch. I got the pencils mostly for the most part finished. As usual, took me a bit longer then I had first thought. Either way, I'll be starting on the painting of it tommarow.

And I'm glad you all liked my... pose sketch... seriously, it as just a pose sketch... this is a lot closer to how it's gonna look ya know
Edit: Oh, and Starchasm, what I was doing last night was waiting for Imperial to get back to me and working on the posses for Battle-Angel 
The nerve insinuating that I up and slacked off... I tell ya...
The level of details you put in these, they're just amazing!
Thats lookin' real good, Graver. I really like the pose and all that royal trim on all the furniture.
The only thing that bothers me a little is the woman's face in the painting. Her left eye(our right) looks like it is sticking out of her head more than her right eye to me. I think maybe her right eye needs to be lowered a skosh, her left eye foreshortened a little more, and her left cheekline near her nose maybe raised a little? I don't know, thats just my gut feeling.
Oh, and also I cant see Cape Cod jutting out from the east coast on your globe.

Ooooo that's gonna look sooooo good!!!
I think the face itself looks okay, but I think that the portrait looks too big. It's distracting. BUT knowing you you're probably going to make it soft and blendy into the background so I think it'll probably be okay
Wow, How do you work so fast? This is going to look soooo good when you are done.

Me, work fast?! That has got to be the first time anyone has ever said that in relation to my work, you've got to be on some serious medications there 
... but I'll take the complement
Either way, thanks all for the help and critiques on the face there. I ended up just completely redoing it today as, Star was right, it was a bit too prominent and it might have remained so even if I made it all fuzzy the way I like to do So, I shrunk her down a bit, and in redrawing the face, she came together much better. However, I will not be adding Cape Cod to the globe. It's my world and if I don't want cape Cod to be mucking it all up, then I don't have to so .
Either way, I should be updating you guys with some painting on it before the nights over

Man that sketch is telling me this will be a very sweet piece Graver!! I really like how you put more into a picture then just a pose, you create a story with your watercolors and I just love seeing em.
Can't wait to see the colors bro!

I like his art but I really love how he frames a composition

Alright... it's been a bit longer then I first anticipated (I think I was planing on having this thing done last night
Either way, I have an update... the first layer of color has been applied and, with all due luck, I should be able to have it wrapped up by the end of Wednesday night / Thursday morning.
I'm trying something new and incorporating colored pencils into the mix and, so far, really loving the results. The Imperial has, so far, been the only thing to receive the colored pencils. Also, I think my scanner might be dying as so many subtle colors are missing in the scan... honestly, it looks much better in person
Oh ya, and here's that link thing what not who ever shibidy doohicky lota hum... link... thing, yup... HERE!@!!!!!!!!!#@#@@#!!@!

Ditto! You definitely get the feeling he's either reminiscing or missing someone. I really like how you've captured a 'mood'.
Well let's hear it for colored pencils, eh?
Looks absolutely great so far - looking forward to the completed piece!
@TheImperial
Holy moses that's awesome !!
Alright, so I took a couple of days off to visit Starchasm while she's in-state so that kind of slowed production down a bit, but I'm back and working like a coked up monkey now.
As mentioned earlier, currently on the chopping block is that immortal tank of a man with the burden of time weighing heavy on his immovable shoulders, the Imperial. I have the pose down for him here and should have the pencils completed in a few hours (keeps fingers crossed).
