Description Got myself a fine instance of ArtRage Studio Pro recently... Had to try it out. And of course I chose my current obsession (namely Yoite) as a practice subject.
Just a quick sketch, nothing special.

P.S.: He still does not look like himself on my drawings. Darn.

Is he crying because he lost his hat? I would cry if I lost a hat as beautiful as his.

Anyway... this is gorgeous!! I love they way you drew the tear and the coloring is superb! I love Yoite and this is a beautiful drawing of him!

Wow that's really really good, Yoite looks so beautiful. I miss him a lot, I wish he would come back.

I always wonder why in the anime Miharu did not use his "all-powerful" technique to help. He said he could change history so Yoite would not become a Kira user, but if Shinrabanshou was really as powerful as everybody said it was then Miharu could at least heal him, couldn't he? I don't know if Shinrabanshou allowed bringing back the dead though.

Yes it is, I read chapter 67 and it tells what Mihru's mother did, she brought Miharu back alive when he was killed. (Not going to say who.) But it is possible. So if Miharu suddenly remembers Yoite he probably could bring him back. (Thank you for making me realize that lol)

Darn, I wish he would do that, and the sooner the better

yeah me too, but what has recently happened is making me angry the fact that they are trying to remove it out of Mirahu makes me even more sad and depressed. If they don't bring back Yoite I am going to be veeery angry. lol

Looks good!

I use Wacom Intuos 3 And ArtRage... I don't know how to put it exactly, but it's so much easier to paint in it than in PS - f similar drawing in Photoshop usually takes almost all night to finish, and this took only an hour and a half o_O'

Oh, I disagree. There is something so Yoite about his expression here. This is lovely.

Expression - yes (it's one of my favorite Yoite faces, so to speak ), but the features... My friends say that I usually draw a "future Yoite" (if he had a future ), meaning he looks older in my interpretation.

Btw, I started reading the Nabari no Ou manga

Kessira26 In reply to DarthMael [2012-02-21 17:35:19 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, I really can't agree. He has a bit of that look that he had towards the end. That fragile beauty, as his life is truly draining away, and he's utterly exhausted. Then again...everyone says I made him look older too, so I might be biased.

Yay!! I'm glad you are reading it.

Ahh love the expression ^^ And gratz for ArtRage. I got the trial, but decided to buy Sai instead. Is the full version fun?

DarthMael In reply to KinaFay [2012-02-21 14:07:31 +0000 UTC]

It is fun for sure
This is just my very first try with it, and I don't know my way around AR Studio much at the moment... But I already like it more than I do Photoshop.
Don't know much about Sai though. Is it better?

KinaFay In reply to DarthMael [2012-02-21 14:26:10 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm no I wouldn't say anything is better. It really depends on how you are comfortable. For example, I really liked ArtRage's interface (was the same beauty even on my PC - I first tried it on MAC) compared to Sai.
But I don't know, there is something about Sai that just drives me so happy. The painting feeling is wonderful (especially with the Water color brushes). You can try it for 30 days if you're curious.

Honestly, I am an Adobe girl, but I can't let myself go with Photoshop as much as I can with Sai. If you're curious, I gathered some info on tools not long ago. Mostly links and stuff: [link]

Your drawing is awesome btw, I can't wait to see what you will do next
