Description
OK, another Gaara pic. I'm not sure why I keep drawing him...This was inspired by a pic from the Marvel website.
[link] >click on spiderman, and you'll see the pic I mean. It's a fantastic piece of Sandman.
This took a couple of days on and off to do. Completely digital. First time I tried sand like that too, so some bits are fairly sloppy. Well, hope you like it.
*Update - 5 Oct 05*
Finally posted the new version of this. I added more detail to the shirt, changed the eyes a little, attempted to fix the kanji, decreased the title point size and improved the colour (I think) So, it should look much nicer now. After fixing the calibration on my monitor, I discovered how washed out the original looked, so I hope this is an improvement.
Thanks to everyone who faved/commented on this. I got a message saying it had been viewed 1000 times

The eyes are not very much. IMHO.
Awful to watch ...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's fine, that's your opinion. Bear in mind that it's intended to be a more realistic impression of a cartoon character (who has very similar eyes)
Please also choose your words carefully. I appreciate constructive criticism, but saying my art is 'awful to watch' is not very constructive. I think a lot of other artists would get offended.
But that's your opinion on some really old art of mine.

Gaara looks very dark. The hair is well done: I'd like to know how to create comic-like style mixed with realism like that: it looks great how you can separate the hair like that.

I think this is my favourite version of 'realistic' Gaara drawing.
The dark circles around his eyes actually look like they make sense! :B
Love it. Faving it.

thanks very much! Yeah, I spent a bit of time trying to get the dark eye patches looking right. I wanted it to look more like sleeplessness (as it is) rather than how it appears in the anime (like makeup

Yeah...!! 
The first thing my friends ask me after seeing Gaara's picture in the manga is usually, "Why is he wearing so much make up?!"
It gets tiring explaining it over and over after a while.
