Description Ma-senshi means "Evil warrior" in Japanese, and it's one of Zelgadiss' nicknames in novels (at least in the original version). Therefore this is a dark-side pic of Zel. I wanted to portrait him as "Rezo's bersherker", the demon he was turn into.
This is pretty much an experiment; it isn't my usual drawing style neither colouring, but I thought it would fit him the best; being possed on a tiled rood in the middle of a windy night, which almost-white clothes and his non human eyes and fangs like that. Certainly I wanted to portrait Zel more evil than usual and I think I've got it.
I like the result

***

"Ma-senshi" significa "guerrero endemoniado" en japonés y es un de los sobrenombres por los que se conoce a Zel al menos en su versión original. Por tanto esto es un dibujillo del lado oscuro de Zel; le quería poner como el demonio en que Rezo le convirtió.
Este dibujo es básicamente un experimento porque se aleja mucho de mi estilo habitual, pero creo que sí tiene que ver con el efecto que quería conseguir. Zel aparece posado sobre un techado de tejas con la capa al viento en medio de la noche; solo se le ven los ojos y los colmillos, que no son humanos. La verdad es que es diferente a lo habitual y me gusta el resultado.

Thank you! I love to portrait Zel's dark side. It's very unusual in western fanarts.

Yeah, I used dark blues and white because it was a night... but I thought some red-blood would make the image more sinester

IchibanVictory [2009-01-27 04:53:23 +0000 UTC]

This! This! THIS! This is exactly why Zelgadis wants to be normal again! Even though he's 'good' now, if anyone sees him on a dark night, or even on a bright day, they're more likely to be afraid of him than to treat him like a regular person.

Gosh, this would certainly scare me if I came across him on a bad night!

(Ooh, but it gives me inspiration to keep working on my unfinished ficage where we get to see this aspect of Zelgadis...)

Ameban In reply to IchibanVictory [2009-02-09 23:05:15 +0000 UTC]

I agree. Slayers (fangirls) fans should realize once this is the real reason because Zel wants to be human again. Certainly a figure like that is scaring. I wouldn't like to meet Zel in real life, either.

As for your fic, I am truly looking forward for it I'm glad my pics serve of inspiration for your.

I love it. I think the lighting is really neat and sets a very ominous mood, which is perfect for this picture.

Glad you like. I wanted to draw dark Zel from quite a while now. This technicle was a good chance to try it. I'm glad I got that effect.

And he also was like that before he joined the group. Too bad his dark side never was showed clearly in the series.

Te debo reconocer, que cuando lo vi, pense que era un tipo de hombre-gato ^^u pero cuando me enfoque y leí la descripción, me di cuenta de quien era.

Bastante bueno el manejo de los tonos oscuros, le da un toque maquiavelico.

Ameban In reply to Shadir [2009-02-09 22:41:28 +0000 UTC]

"Hombre gato?" Claro, con esas orejotas y colmillos subido encima de un tejado
A primera vista tampoco se le reconoce mucho; no se ha visto mucho del lado oscuro de Zel en la animación
Gracias por la opinión. Quiso que saliera maquiavélico con esos colores oscuros.

Sí, quería que diera miedo, que no fuera como los trabajos habituales que hay de él por ahí y que se pareciera más a su lado oscuro de las novelas. También quería experimentar con nuevas técnicas. Me alegro de haber conseguido ese efecto

Pues sí; Zel en la serie, mola... Pero yo también echo de menos su versión cabrona de las novelas. Debería salir así alguna vez.

Ameban In reply to D-Thessy [2009-02-09 22:25:06 +0000 UTC]

El truco consiste en poner los colores sobre un fondo ya oscuro y sacar las luces; en realidad es más fácil que colorear sobre un fondo blanco. Lo difícil es saber por dónde tiene que ir el color y la luz
Pero sí, es la primera vez que dibujo un fanart de este estilo.
