Description Companion picture to the collab piece I'd done with more than a year ago. L, this time.

It's... kind of rough, still, but I kind of like it this way. I tried imitating the style I used to have, and used the same palette, but I'm not sure if I pulled it off that well. Either way. Hope you likes!

I like how the papers look like they blew away and the folds in his shirt turned out so well.

i hate it how you can find the most amazing perfect picture that you absolutley HAVE to fav, and once you've clicked the fav button there is nothing more you can do except stare at said picture all day.
Unfortunatly, this is one of those pictures and I am hooked.

twosen [2008-07-14 15:46:36 +0000 UTC]

Is it bad that I'm somehow in more awe over the shading on the paper than the shirt, although the shirt looks more obviously wow-worthy? XD

Also, THE HAIR! *is a sucker for well-depicted hair*

I'm liking the monochrome-y feel. About the only thing I'd change might be to make L more eye-baggy, although this could be, as someone pointed out, a younger version of him, so he might have been more well-rested back then...?

Hey, I like the shading on the paper more than the shading on the shirt! XD!!

Eye-baggy... Will do! Honestly, though, I didn't think so many people would point that out. D: The dark circle-ish things I had in the sketch just made his eyes look even bigger, so I ditched them. >_<

kheleksul In reply to katbachh [2008-07-14 21:44:40 +0000 UTC]

Getting a little better, on the overbusy part of that. I'm hoping if I clear up my schedule enough to be able to sell stuff at Otakon. But! If not, I'll just take some commissions on DA, seriously try to challenge myself. The way I see it: I won't be able to do any art during the school year (yeey engineering major?), so I HAVE to make the most out of my summer. D:

Hows about you? Busy? Not busy? What've you been up to?

katbachh In reply to kheleksul [2008-07-14 22:09:44 +0000 UTC]

So I hope you could sell your art at Otakon, and just do what you like. ^^ That's sad your studies don't let you draw just as you want.

I was pretty busy lately because of a big con last week-end. But now it's quite calm, and now I can work on a little doujinshi. ^^ Besides I've finished my studies and I'm now working on competitive examination to become a chemist researcher. In France it works that way. And it's a bit hard because there are only few places for many applicants, and I really want that job.

I cross my fingers for us both. XD

... In other words: thank you! Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it that much. If you're going to Otakon, I'm probably going to bring a few copies of this there? And I could save it for you?
