You know, it's odd..........Day is supposed to be this super sexy beast, but for some reason I've never drawn him like that. >D So here's a portrait to do him some justice. Flex those arms, dude!

Eh, on a more serious note, this is an image of Day sending a prayer to his Goddess. I experimented with a LOT of new coloring techniques in this one, which is why it turned out looking so different from most of my other pictures--and I think I'm satisfied with the result. (Still not very satisfied with the hair, but I'll work on that later....) This was largely a practice in painting skin tones without the use of dodge and burn, which is something I really should start avoiding, as well as male anatomy. And, you know, I never realized what an amaaaAAAaazing stock photo gallery deviantArt has until I surfed through it trying to find a good reference picture of a male profile. O_O I really need to surf through it again sometime. Anyway, here's the first "real" picture of 2006! Somehow, I think this one might be the best picture I've done yet (in terms of coloring)....Day is very slightly bulkier than I normally picture him, but oh well. He's been working out just for this pic. >D

Wow. It's soo beautiful. It's just the hair. When I read the book I pictured his hair thick and lush. Other than that I love it.
I would really love it if you could please draw Thomas as you pictured him.

ooohhh yes, sexy! it works, he looks great!
when I first saw him I have to admit I did think he looked a... hum. a bit... maybe, ah, wussy. okay so maybe not entirely wussy, but I did think of him at first as some sort of magician. like those guys who don't really use their fists to fight.
me likes this!
damn, I gotta read those chapters.

Yes, the colors are beautiful, but what about the hair did you not like??? I think the composition would be a little better if he was a little more off center, but other wise, this is a truely lovely peice.

Looks really great, I love the colouring...experimentings always fun ^^. And the overall atmosphere is amazing. The only critism I can offer is that the head above the hair line is a bit large O_O. But it's one of my favourites of yours ^^.

TheDaemonQueenLilith [2006-01-16 19:26:40 +0000 UTC]

Execlent job with the shading... your experiment paid off. I can see where the hair needs some work but over all it's pretty good. Great coloring.
