Title: Eliot, the Hitter
Artist: renisanz 
Medium: Pencil, Photoshop CS2
Fandom: Leverage
Rating: G
Warning/Spoilers: None.
Disclaimer: The pencil lines are my own.
Notes: I've had the idea for this drawing in my head for a while and finally got it out on paper. Not exactly how I imagined in my head (with much more arm!candy, for one), but I'm trying to do more close up, cropped out scenes with my art.

Teaser:





In one of the episodes ("The Reunion Job", I think) Eliot said something about having dated a Japanese professor or banzai teacher... Also, in "The Top Hat Job" Eliot said, "That's why I grow my own food." From those two things, I got this image in my mind of Eliot either tending a garden or caring for plants, so I wanted to try to illustrate it.

I considered drawing him with his glasses on, too, but I liked seeing his face like this.

Feedback is lovely. :)

I love the way you do eyes. I don't know what it is.

Thanks. I used lots of references to get him right.

The bonsai line was sexual innuendo according to John Rogers but this is lovely.

Ah. I couldn't remember the exact line, and the innuendo definitely makes sense. However, I imagine that Eliot seriously has some pretty serene activities in his downtime, ya know when he's not practicing punching things. ;)

Thank you. :)
