Description Good day, old chaps. This is just a quick watercolor I did for figure drawing HW this week. The assignment was to do a watercolor figure in brightly colored clothing. My professor said he looked like "a hunk from the Roman Empire". XD Also, I left a few edges on some of my shadows on this one. I rather like the sense of depth it gives and it's a little less likely to give me an aneurysm than my usual "blend-the-balls-off-everything" method of shading.

Anyway, you may, but probably won't recognize this guy from this somewhat outdated picture [link] as my samurai OC, Haruka Shido, who comes from an old noble family and has epic death battles with mononoke and oni and whatnot in between smoking and looking like man-whore in drag. Haha, I don't quite know why he's half naked here (wut? It was for figure drawing... ) Perhaps he's just been ravished or something, who knows. XD For shame. Sultry bimbo...

I also wanted to post this as a good example of how my watercolor work looks for the sake of commissions, which I'm currently accepting (traditional and digital), so let's have a chat if you think you might like one. Info rite hurr --> [link]

P.S. I'm so sorry if I haven't responded to your comments lately. Schoolwork absolutely bled me dry this past week, so I've had trouble keeping up. -_-; I'll try my best to get back to you.

Thank you! Haha, my professor actually thought he was a Byzantine prince before I explained it. XD

I think it's the relaxed/powerful pose and deep, deep red (which is a lovely color, and if I was rich and royal and stuff, I would have all of my clothes made with silk of that color...and, you know, deep blues, but yes )

Black lines in-between shadows are pretty cool. His knees look a trifle unhealthy though... kinda too bony. Sort of like that evil spirit keeps him malnourished, or so...

Thank you! Do they look bony? Perhaps I overemphasized them a bit... Haha, I guess the malnourishment is a possibility, but, then again, I doubt he could maintain those manry, manry muscles of his if that was the case. XD He does keep him a bit drained energy-wise though... Good memory.

Well, not like I saw many male knees in my life, but I think the tibia bone in the lower leg shouldn't be that protruding near the knee like his left leg has it.
I don't mind his collarbones, because I can see something similar on myself.
