Entry for ~aruarian-dancer 's "RED contest" [link]


Again, this is for ~laurabryannan and ~aruarian-dancer . Companion piece to 40-year old Jin [link]

The sketch gave me so much trouble it went way beyond being funny. I started with this pose but decided it wasn't right so I changed it almost completely, only to discover the second one was far worse *fail* And the shirt. Oh gawd the shirt. I hate drawing and shading shirts. But I'm happy with the rest. Sexy 40-year old Mugen, yeah baby!

Coincidentally, Laura has just posted the epilogue for which this was drawn so *off to read it*

And again, make sure you check ~aruarian-dancer 's version of older!Mugen [link]

This came out great too ^^, but I still prefer Jin at 40

Thank you I prefer Jin too but that could be because Mugen gave me a lot of trouble.

Even at 40, Mugen still looks great. Great job, Charlie!

And, don't worry too much about the shirt...those things are evil anyway.

At first, Mugen looks the same, but now that I take a closer look, he does show some subtle signs of aging. Great work! I actually like this piece more than the 40-year-old Jin piece.

Mangsney In reply to KingdomKeyChan [2009-01-09 16:18:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ~laurabryannan did say that she saw him "sinfully grey-less" but with more age lines than Jin, and a beard. I think it suits him.

I think this is one of the best expressions you've drawn yet. Also, great choice with the red and gray!

Mangsney In reply to bigbigtruck [2009-01-09 16:05:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I originally wanted to do it the other way around, but it would have looked like I was just copying ~aruarian-dancer and in the end I think the red shirt makes more sense. Nice contrast when you put it next to Jin's picture

OMG! So smexy! I love how he looks perfectly world-weary and yet have such a great come-hither bedroom expression.

I think you did a great job with his shirt and I love the color you chose. BTW, that's the color red I saw Jin switch to in my main plotline.

Thanks so much for giving him a bash. I adore the results. *smoochies*

Thank you! In the end it was worth all the fighting and that's all that matters.

Is it really? Hmmm...

aruarian-dancer [2009-01-08 19:06:04 +0000 UTC]

Yay! Older Mugen. Great job!!!

I personally like the older version better than the young version in the series. I love the choice of the shirt color you picked for him. More mature than the garish red he used to wear in his youth. Yummeh!!!

Mangsney In reply to aruarian-dancer [2009-01-09 15:58:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you

I originally wanted to give him a grey shirt and red tie but that would have made it too similar to your grey jacket/white shirt/red tie combo. So I went for red, which of course suits him since we're used to seeing him in red. And the warmth it brings to the picture is a great contrast when you look at it next to Jin's picture. Shame I didn't get to show his tattoos, though.
