Description alt.: the boy with red hands

I'm not sure why I spent so much time on this since I'm not really happy with the result. :/ I almost like the simple cellshaded one I started off with better. (link ) It feels like I stepped back in time to an ugly thick lineart and gratuitous textures phase, except that I don't remember having that phase because I never practiced lineart that much.

It's also full of the kind of stuff I would draw (anime boy headshot with masks and jewels and bloody goodness styled like a poker card 8D) but doesn't remind me of my own style at all, haha.

 I'm in love with the close-up crop I made though. [ link ] time to make new profile pics lala


this is my oc, Ren, who I make look like a villain/murderer every time I draw him lol

Hehe, I think it would be cooler if he was doing something more interesting but thank you very much! I don't like lining on the computer because of how long it takes, but I'm glad that it looks relatively neat here at least. c:

well he will still be able to do sth interesting, u just have to draw him once more ;3
but i think the pict is interesting in it's own way-well for me it is
yeh same here, lining almost takes more time than coloring xd...
and you're welcome :3

eheheh, you're right! Thanks for finding this interesting anyway. ;w; I guess with this being drawn like a face card he doesn't have to be doing something dynamic anyway. xD

Sometimes I start colouring before doing lineart because it's so tedious...but I really should learn/practice it more, haha.

Thank you! I notice it too, it seems somewhat duller than my usual colour schemes. Dx I spent a lot more time on the line work and painted mostly in photoshop instead of sai so I could experiment with texture brushes, but I don't really like the result. :/ It was definitely useful for experimenting though!
haha I could just drool over how some artists like use texture.

No, not at all! It's amazing (as usual). But as you said, I noticed you put more time into specific areas that you usually don't. It looks fabulous!


Wow, he is stunning... Instant watch. XD

Of course! A true artist always strives to do better and achieve more in every new piece of art. :3
