Description More traditional art, whoot? o:
Figured I might as well space them out a little.

I've been working on this one at school all week. YEAH, Indie again. This time, his pretty much finalized design.
Teal obsession still?
Perhaps. But I'd consider this color a bit of a DARKER shade of teal. xD

As always, sharpies for all the color in the foreground. (and a bic pen for the lineart. It kinda bleeds in with the sharpies, and gives a nice effect.)
And then I went in with watercolor for the background, using only black. So he just pops out.

My scanner made the colors rather weird-looking, and this looks a bit off. The black and white background actually looks purplish. STRANGE.
But my scanner's eight years old.
I need a new one.

AND the paper is wrinkled, which, unfortunately, is painfully noticable here. That is because I used watercolor on typing paper. SO. D:

eehe.
Well, I actually like this one. I think.
It took long enough.

SO ENJOY.

Indie © me, Nilla.

Wow, I never would have guessed you used Sharpies. o_o; I should go find all of mine and do something worthwhile. XD

I reallyreally love how you made him stand out like that (as you intended to do, so you say). But you still colored the light to make it not completely black and white, which I also love. c: And the wrinkled paper adds an effect to this which I think goes because of the style you used in the background. !

My sharpie drawings actually come out looking like paint, the way they bleed together, so I can understand that. xD

Well, thank you SO MUCH. ^^

You amaze me with the materials you use ^^ Sharpies, who'd have guessed they could look so neat?

Great idea you had, to have him all bright and colourful, and the background so dull and grey. As always, your character designs make me warm and fuzzy inside (as well as insanely jealous).
