When your hometown’s name is on Benoit Blanc’s tongue, you draw him with copic markers 😌 • I’m new to copic markers, and while this piece isn’t perfect, I’m proud of it ☺️ • This art was made by a human (obviously) • @rianjohnson.bsky.social #knivesout #wakeupdeadman

Benoit Blanc played by Daniel Craig copic market art. He’s looking to the view’s right, his left, where the main light source is coming from

I did two more Gladiator yoga poses! I’m having a lot of fun with this art style.

This is probably the fastest #fanart I ever made, because I need to do work art, yet I needed to get this out of my system. Consider this a sketch. Maybe I will do a full rendered art of it. I'm so in for #Hansry OMG. #KingdomCome2 #KC2 #sketch
