Description --- yay another one!
Axel again- this time it says No.8 cause he belongs to the infamous OrganizationXIII and he's No.8 of the 13

I hadn't decided if I was gonna color this one or not until I just started messing around but I think it turned out okay

I sketched this one right after I sketched the other (the red lineart one)
I'd done this pose maaaaaaaany times, because I had always wanted to draw Kato with his cloak on; hehe figures the one time it works it's someone else! I also got the privelidge of seeing someone else do a fanart of his hood up so that helped me figure out how to it (his hair's insane!)

I added the beads and zipper last minute- I originally had intended to just crop up to his shoulders so I didn't have to deal with the rest (cause it's such a pain to draw! let alone color!)
But knowing me, I happened to draw a mini sketch of his weapon right by his face and didn't have the heart to remove it. So I just drew everything else by mouse.

I'm glad because I definitely feel better about my shading jobs. Like the curve on his cheekbone; I was actually staring at the pic and thought I saw the shadow- only to later realize there WASN'T actually one there o.O so I added it; and it was perfect yay (so I THINK that's a good thing...then again.....seeing things= not good)

I'm really glad his hair worked out- I've been coloring it like a different shade everytime I draw him, but this finally seems closest to the real thing. I also had drawn his hair in the original copy and then made the hood up after, so at least I knew it would fit over that spike-head of his. hehe actually I like drawing his hair- his hairline's just a bit difficult sometimes.

as usual the BG was just random, but actually I like this one.

Well yeah; a colored Axel, Whoopity-doo!

~Axel belongs to the video game Kingdom hearts 2

thank you!!! Wow ^____^ thanks a ton for the fav. too!! "See you in the Next life" is another pic of him, but his hood is down in there

yeah! I saw a comic someone did online here where they had his hood up and I think that inspired me to try it; i really just looked at the one's who did have their hoods up and tried it from there though.
I really enoy the angle I have his face at most I think

well, great (sorry, i babble a lot)
thanks Sooooooo much for the fav!!! I won't forget it ^_____________^

Thanks ^^ yeah, I had a lot of fun with this one. I originally wanted to color my Axel sketch but it just wasn't looking right, so just on a whim I started messing around with this one ^^ yeah, originally I was even gonna just cut out the weapon cuz it wasn't supposed to be there, but after I lined it in Orange it was too cool to get rid of T.T unfortunately I HATE drawing that blasted chain and necklace and I had to invent that by computer cause originally under the hood that's all there was to the sketch o.o
^___^ Thank you so much, I'm glad you like. I'm sure I'll be doing more in the future hehe

haha yay for axel! i really like the way you drew his weapons DDD: since they're all.. crazy circular and stuff. :] but yes! you draw fabulously like usual (and the shading is VERY hot). ;o; <333

... my hip's don't lie and i'm starting to feel you boy. P: oh yeah.

Cat-Eye-Kanone In reply to kingofmetres [2006-08-06 21:55:08 +0000 UTC]

^___^ yay thank you! Glad you like hehe. I colored this one a lot faster than usual actually o.o
^^ watching you helped me figure out a few new things in photoshop (like the brushes)

Yeah, I originally did that as just a rough sketch so I could remember how his weapon looked; but the way it ended up in the pic just made it seem more like a symbol.

^^ I like the shading too, haha ohh god- the song!! >.< lol
Thanks again ^___^

Thank you ^__^
yeah, I have a thing for those kind of mouth shapes too. Mouths are just... so sexy XP
I was torn between maiking it more defined with putting red in the mouth and such or putting some shading if it were teeth; but eventually I just decided to leave it alone. It was best the way it already was.

^__^ Thanks again
