Description This is a character from my darkGift series I haven't shown till now...I think I'll call her Duji...She's apart of a group called Wolves of Ludo, along with 3 other mates in her unit. I'll probably paint the rest of them up as well..

This WIP took a bit longer than i wanted becase i kept changing her pose and couldn't decide how i wanted the ghost to look. Also was practicing different techniques in PS.

I might color this later on..but im glad its done to this point.



Special Thanks

ha! thats all the ego boost i'll need for the year, heheh. well right now i see no problems with this piece, so dun worry much.

i'm usually honest when it comes to pics, if theres something thats strikes me odd i'll say it, so in general i try to make people better themselves. ^_^

Man, you really know how to use textures that enhance the picture rather than distract from it. And all that pure black too :^o you should open a prints account!

waltzinghippie [2008-03-24 16:29:20 +0000 UTC]

Holy crap, her skin tones are amazing. Especially her hand. Those are the best. hands. EVER.

The composition of this is really nice, and I love the ghost, he is badass! The textures are really nice as well.

I love her hair, and the black pants, and how you didnt outline them.

I cant wait to see more of this!

Cabres [2008-03-24 16:17:36 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I haven't even seen her, before. She looks cool, kind of Yu-Gi-Oh-ish, though. But, cool. Somewhere like an RPG character or something.

Glad to see that you still plan on hitting up DG, though. Lemme know where you're going with that, and all.

Rikyo In reply to Cabres [2008-03-30 00:20:46 +0000 UTC]

Yea man this crew has been in hiding in the depths of my sketch book..but i needed to work on the look of her ghost so i'd have an idea...plus i wanted to flesh them out for the longest..

...and YuGiOh!? thats a new one..lol

but yea man DG is still on..on hiatus at the moment, but i'll def. let you know!

Cabres In reply to Rikyo [2008-03-31 20:05:29 +0000 UTC]

Cool. I know you're doing some other building work, right now. Which will def add punch when DG kicks in. So, it will totally make everything work better.

And, yeah, not full on Yugi, but . . . maybe . . . his long lost cooler cousin.

Are their anything else that you've been holding out on?

saintjs [2008-03-24 04:51:34 +0000 UTC]

Awesome drawing, just as I've come to expect from you. Yet, for some reason, Duji's outfit kinda reminds me of the ones they wear on D. Gray Man. It looks kinda similar...

Duji looks amazing, I love the hair. Her final pose is perfect. Details on Ghost are dope. At first I thought the Ghost's hand detached from its body, for some sort of long distance sneak attack...but I see he is attached behind Duji's back. Great work Rikyo, I expect nothing less from you by now.
