Description
Hey there everyone!My first 100% Digital art WITH background.....lol.
Thanks to =Linkaton-Furaito for the suggestion while on LIVESTREAM! I present to you a piece of fanart..
SPIKE from COWBOY BEBOP!
I called it 'A Day In The Life' as a reflection of a part of my life that I find to be the most peaceful.
Many times I would listen to CD's of music and press play the second I'd exit the door of my family's house, and head to Downtown Toronto as my little escapade from the everyday life. The CD would play from the first track on, and I'd always find my last song that I love the most playing near when I reached my destination. The song and the sunset, always make it feel like time froze and that time was mine, a moment which I could always call my own.
I placed that feeling of that sunset as closely as I could, in to this piece featuring a character who is carefree and boundless to the troubles in a day in the life.
Music I listened to was Eric Benet, his album called A Day In The Life. MY song out of that album that made the scene was called 'A Love Of My Own', and the first song I always started with off the album is called 'That's Just My Way'.
One more song that is equivalent to these, a song called 'Life' by Queen Latifah from the album Order In The Court.
They are pretty jazz sounding.

I'm no art critic, but I the way you've drawn spike's eyes is interesting. Have you drawn smaller eyes because its an anime character and you could say he would be asian.Even though the actual character is likely to have been western. I may sound stupid, but I like your use of lighting because it suits spike's storyline of reflecting on what happened in the past. It also suggests he is empty.

Beautifully done. Definitely got a weird feeling from that. I was never a Spike fangirl, he always reminded me too much of a friend of mine, but this definitely gave me the tummy butterflies.

OMG Spike. One of the greatest badass character to come out of an anime. You did very well for this. I love coloring and the shading as Spike stares off while thinking about the past and future. Great job.

Oh, wow...what an awesome piece of fanart for a show that really deserves more. The attention to detail in lighting, texture and the background is perfect, and the look on Spike's face is dead-on.

Mmm, love Cowboy Bebop, and this picture captures a lot of the series' feeling <3 I think you did a great job with the look on his face. The only critic I can think of is his ear seems to bulge a bit, but that's not really an issue anywho.
keep up the great work
