Description Nestly: Heeeeeey! It's Kuri! Well it's only been nearly 2 years since I drew this bad boy. I really love this character. Obviously since he's one of the oldest character I've ever had that I still draw.

There have been some changes to his appearance since last I drew him:
I personally think he looks a lot better now.
For one his markings changed color. I have never drawn him WITHOUT the markings, but I've always known that they are not actually always present. They actually only show when he is using his balancing abilities to make those orbs float and whatnot. If he's just sitting around or sleeping or whatever, they don't show.
I changed them to blue simply because it made more sense. They're supposed to be a sign of his powers, and his eyes and orbs are both that highlighter blue color, so why should his markings be any different? That and they glow now, which also helps show that they're the effect of magic.

Oh and I guess Kuri likes to rave, lol.
He's kind of a dance master of balance, so I figure it would be right up his ally. Not to mention I don't have ANY characters like this and man, glowy stuff is so fun to draw! haha.

I had a little help with the orbs from this free orb PSD. I found here:
Thanks for the help stranger! :]

This is one of those "Omg I put everything I could into this piece and am so proud of it" pictures, so any comments, suggestions, crits, questions are much appreciated.

Kuri's character is still pretty mysterious, even though I have a lot of story made up for him, but if you're curious, I did write a little blurb on him here: [link]

I have nothing much to say to this. I just like your design and the picture in general.
Only thing to think about would probably be the background (or to be exact the ground). I don't know why but I have the feeling it should be less blurry.
Hope it'll be helpful. :3

Ooh, so many vivid colors! I love the pose he's got going on there! The markings do look great, and I really like all the little details like in his eyes and even in the headphones! Great job with this! It feels so energetic, which is definitely fitting for a raver like Kuri!

D'awwww thank you for noticing the detailssssss. <3
Haha, Kuri is actually so laid back.. yet he always looks hyper.. hmm. Maybe he's just a suave and chill dancer. Weird.

Looks like he's enjoying his job,
I can't really say too much about this picture. It's exactly what it seems you were aiming for: Bright, glowy, saturated colors that breathe an air of fun.
It's like I can already hear the base throbbing along with some wacky techno-dubstep

I'm not sure if he really has a "job", lol, but whatever he does, he sure does enjoy it. xD

Well thanks a ton for the comment either way. ;3 Haha yes there must be some crazy obnoxious techno music and bass in the background for sure.
