Biskuits — Inspector Irwin-Shaded Col BG-

Description The second of two versions I did of this pic. This was inspired by a pic I did of just Mandy in the block-shading style, which I thought looked like it was something from an old-style detective story. Thus, Inspector Irwin was born! In here we have the detective himself, his young and goofy partner, Billy, their classy and mysterious client, Mandy, her rather suspicious butler/guardian, Grim, and a possible villain, Nergal. Pretty crazy, huh?

*Edit: The background characters have been shaded and highlighted. Fun, no?

It is good material for a fanfic or, better yet, for a comic

It's my favorite, too <3 It's so epic XD Though, actually, I think I prefer the B&W BG version... *ponders*

This is all just amazing, and it's great to see some Irwin love and your shading is amazing!

But... Mandy's eyes just keep bugging me. The eye lashes make it seem like she's wearing glasses and I personally feel it would have been better with the hair covering the eyelashes.

But I love the rest of the picture so PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!

haha, that's great! i like how that lady is all shadowed and such and then theres some sortof evil in the dark Lol, for a sec, i thought the detective was invisible cause he blends in with his hat and pipe...i see him now thought! lol the goofy kid is my favourite in the pic, he looks so bubbly, happy-go-lucky and one of those ready to go types! the butler looks creepy all big and rough looking, like he's bout to knock someone out...hehe...

I could have sworn I commented on this already....
This picture is awesome! Mandy looks so cute, Billy and Irwin are adorable, Nergal looks really cool lurking aroud in the background and Grim's awesome.Though, it looks like Grim's touching Mandy's ass. x.X

No, just has his arm half-around her. It was kinda tricky to do >< He is her suspicious butler/guardian, y'know. There COULD be something going on... *looks around* I'll leave that up to you, though.

Aikurisu [2004-12-14 15:00:11 +0000 UTC]

Aye, indeed this is very classy, and certainly shows that hip ol' gangster motif you'd find in a detective show's poster advertisement. Well that's my view anyway, hehe. Grim by far looks tha best, mon! He should do his own detective show with that look! And that smoke just adds a whole world of extra class. XD

However there is one thing that bothers me about it, and though the colouring and overall design is great, I think some areas need to be smoothed out to give it that better poster look. There's just some lines near the lighter colours that break away unfortunately from being a line and have that "dotty rough" approach. But that's only a small worry. ^^

Biskuits In reply to Aikurisu [2004-12-14 15:36:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it was worse before I put it in photoshop, if you can believe it, because this was done with a .5 mm rollerball pen (actually, two of them. They're dead now ><. It doesn't look quite so bad in the B&W BG version (which is more finished than this; you should check that one out instead, as it looks worlds better). Thank you, though; when I decide to shade this one I'll fix those, because they've been botherin' the crap outta me.

Darn cigarettes and their makin' people look classy. Much as I hate the negative stigma attached to sayin' this, people look so much hotter with a cigarette. I dunno what it is >< Cultural brainwashing, s'what. *nod*

Aikurisu In reply to Biskuits [2004-12-14 15:53:05 +0000 UTC]

Well it does send a kind of odd message to the kids, telling them to "light up" but for those of us who aren't so stupid to fall under what's cool and what's not, I think a detective story just wouldn't be a detective story without the classy ol' cigar. Same like old westerns 'n' all. Cigars do have a place in movies after all, though I can't say much the same for real life.

You speak the truth, good sir. Besides, I don't feel so bad making Grim smoke; s'not like he has lungs... or is even alive for that matter ^_^

You know what? I kinda do, too. In that other one I could tell that Mandy and Grim were in the BG. The first time I saw this, I thought that Billya nd Irwin were sitting on Mandy and Grim's laps.
