Gassassinated.....Altair a.k.a. Silent but Deadly

So today's sketch is Altair from the video game Assassin's Creed. I played the first level of the first game (there are now 3 I think). It was flippin' amazing. I quickly realized I would spend waaaaaay too much time on it and set it aside. It's sad how I play enough of a game to realize how cool it is, but I know how easy it would be for me to get behind on my work if I played too much XBox. I barely play, and it's usually when my 5 year old son wants to play Ultimate Alliance, or a Street Fighter game.

However, since I've had the game, I have always wanted to draw this character. The designs and backgrounds are astounding with each version that has come out. So it was fun to finally take a stab at the character. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but fun to do none the less. I hope to get the chance to draw him again someday.  This sketch took about 45 min. but I'll round down for the art if anyone is interested.

  1. You sure this isn't Ezio? It hardly looks like Altaïr at all.

  2. You're right actually. I think the suggestion was just Assassin's Creed, and I chose the design and time period from this latest game. I actually haven't played "brotherhood" so I was unfamiliar with the story line and character's names. I like the idea of an assasssin's guild that has been around all through the ages.

    But you are right, this isnt infact Altair from the first game.
