Description EDIT:

I completely revamped リミト. Taking into consideration some helpful critique, I lengthened and thinned out his nose, completely redid his mouth and plumped up his lips. I also shortened his chin and saturated the color a LOT more. Although, I'm not sure if it's too bright. I'm submitting it into my portfolio so I want it to stand out but I don't know if it's too much or not? Let me know!


Profile
Name: リミト/Rimito or Limit
Ethnicity: Japanese
Age: 22
Height: 182 cm
Band: SHIFT
Position: Bassist
Hair: Black
Eyes: One brown and the other changes color depending on what contacts he wears that day
Piercing: 1 lip/2 eyebrow/2 right ear/3 left ear
Tattoos: "Rokku" (Rock) above his sexy right hip bone
Looks Up To: Dir en grey, Gazette, MUCC, Merry, alice nine., 12012, ギルガメッシュ
Personality/Info: He's fairly quiet but he's not as angsty as Shiro or as outgoing as Akahoshi. He's been playing bass since he was about 14 so he's pretty damn good at it. He may be quiet but that doesn't mean he won't do fanservice for their female fans. He's also quite aware of his defined body and doesn't mind showcasing his stomach in concerts. Although his romantic life is mostly private, Akahoshi and Shiro have this theory that he's really a closet kink
Likes: Any sushi with crab/Dir en grey and Gazette/Starbuck's Frappuchinos (he's addicted and he's been known to suck down 3 in a row)/Videogames/ Expensive perfume/suit jackets
Dislikes: Pork/Doing laundry/Fake overly processed women/ Getting dumped/ Crystal Burgers


Time: 16+hrs
Tools: Mechanical pencil + Micron Pens + PS7
Listened to: Dir en grey, Gazette
For: ~Tyai because she's an absolute doll and I her to death. XD

I can't believe I've never commented on this (and look! Even though I never comment, and I say I don't have time, I go through friends' galleries a lot). I just love this piece. I don't think 'love' is too strong a word. The lineart is great, and the colouring is just perfect. It looks like you spent time on every detail. The wrinkles in the shirt and jeans, and EVERY INDIVIDUAL BEAD on the necklace. omg. If I've never told you before, you're amazing. I can't believe how much you've improved since I met you. o.o;

GOOD GRIEF!!! Jenn this is PHENOMENAL!!! Im so blown a way that i don't even care if thats how you spell it or not.

I love the coloring of course, but the pose is so cool, and I think I love the texture of it most of all, it really looks like different materials! GAH i am jealous of your skill! Im so jealous i spelled that yourk at first!

If i had the time Id draw someone to go in you guys' band, but I don't think i do T_T

anywho, as for a name... im always terrible at this you know, but imma suggest something like... :B. Pronounce that how you want, hehe

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Thank you! I used Poser for reference but I still messed up a bit on his hand...grrr...

No jealous! There's still plenty of mistakes, and really it's just trial and error till I get something I kinda like
I'll reserve you a spot for a guy if you want to make one? You don't have to do it write now but he'd either be the drummer or another guitarist so it's up to you XD

Something like what? How do I say that? Lol

CherrySunKitten [2006-06-18 16:52:39 +0000 UTC]

Jenn, I have to agree with 004. You just amaze me every time you put up a new deviation! Your cg skills are frickin' RIDICULOUS and the details on this piece are AMAZING! I love that you went away from the traditional color palette for the lighting and everything...really have a concert-atmosphere type mood. Like Purka said, next time just lengthen the nose and drop the lips a little, and you'll be golden! And my CHICKENS you've got a talent for doing hot hair. . And his jacket really looks like leather, and the folds in his pants are so real looking, and GAH! I'm so proud of you

PS - The tattoo? NICE touch. I'd touch that. HAHA. Pun intended.

And for a name...look to your music. Look to the lyrics or the titles. You'll find something that suits him perfectly, even if it's a little out there.

shiroi-nami In reply to CherrySunKitten [2006-06-18 20:04:26 +0000 UTC]



Thank you love! Yeah...I was getting kinda bored with the fact that I was using the same fleshy color palette on every guy I drew so I was like...eh what the hell. Let's see what happens. Glad you could tell it was a concert...wasn't sure that would get across

Oh and thanks for the tip. I think I might actually go back in and edit his nose and mouth, it wouldn't be hard at all. I'm glad your chickens like my hair coloring

GOOD FUH-REAKIN' idea. I'm going to go dive into iTunes and look for something.

JENN!!! THIS IS THE BEST PIECE I'VE SEEN FROM YOU!!!! <3
The colours! The clothes! Love it!! I have to fave this one
(I'm usually extremely picky with colours but MY GAWD you chose the colours extremely well! Esp loving the corpsy skin tones and the crimson shirt amongst the steely blue *.*)
<3333333333

Oh and I made up my own jrocker some time ago (the one on my profile pic..thingy lol) and I named him Shiro because I like the colour white on rock guys LOL I didn't detail him like you have, because I suck at that lol.. hey maybe all our made-up jrockers can be friends HAHA I'm so lame XDDD

shiroi-nami In reply to oo4 [2006-06-18 20:00:28 +0000 UTC]



Your comment totally made me smile and made my day.

I actually kinda winged it on the colors and somehow they managed to come out alright. Haha, and I used Miku as a fashion inspiration for his Sexpot Revenge beanie

It's not lame at all. Here, I'll be lame with you. We could always make up a pretend band...with your guy Shiro, Tyai's guy, and my guy. And then we could make up another member or two. Or maybe just the three of them...just for the sake of some sexy j-rock bishie pictures. Oh, and white definitely = love on jrockers. Can we say...Die in a white suit? Hell yes. Thanks for your super sweet comment and fave!

I'm glad that it did ^____^

Haha I think that would be awesome! Or we could get 2 other artists to join us in our quest for a complete made-up jrock band XD
I should probably give Shiro a profile now, and will probably draw him today, if not, some time this week, because I've realised I only have (crappy) sketches of him o_O; lol

shiroi-nami In reply to oo4 [2006-06-19 01:08:20 +0000 UTC]

That works, too. Ok then, so far we have:

My nameless guy: Bass
Shiro: ?
Tyai's guy: Guitar

Yay! I'll work on a profile for my guy, too and I'll let her know. Any ideas on who else we should recruit for this? Can't wait to see more Shiro

Shiro can be on vocals only because I am too lazy to ever draw him with a guitar hahah XD ..or with drums o_O; (although drum STICKS would be fine lol) XDD

O.O Dang! He looks cool! The CG's gotten even better! I didn't know you could improve so fast! Or is it just me? ^-^' Anyways, I'm not good with names. What helps me best is if I look through the credits of an anime or something. It's really fun! But I usually end up using common names >.> But here are a few, just because. Keishi, Yue, Suichi, and Takeru. I can't think of any good English names, and the only other names I like are Korean or Chinese XD Good luck to you! Tell us if you finally pick a name for him!

Aww, thanks.

I'm just picking up some tips from other artists as I go along and hopefully taking all those tricks and tips and making my own style out of it. Not gonna lie, though. This was definitely a hard one.

I kinda like Suichi...thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks Travis! The details took FOREVER. I'm still lazy with jewelry, though. I just get annoyed and slap some random color on it half the time.

Katsumoto? It sounds cool...actually Katsu sounds cool...I'll have to look it up and see what it means...

Purka [2006-06-18 04:47:46 +0000 UTC]

Random drive by comment ;D I like the blue shading on the skin, and the clothes are pretty cool.
A crit, though, his face seems a bit too long for the proportions you've drawn, if the mouth was lower and the nose longer, it would be more proportionate, and the hand he's holding the guitar with is sorta small. But all in all, it worked well. Very nice colouring.
He looks cute, so why not the name 'Honey'?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

shiroi-nami In reply to Purka [2006-06-18 04:53:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's the thing with the face was weird. It looked fine before I drew the hand in front of his face (with the intention of pointing at the audience) but after that it made the face kinda long. And his hand is a bit small...you're right I'm still pretty bad at drawing hands and it was hard to figure out with the perspective being kinda different than what I'm used to.

Aww, that's a cute name! I'll definitely think about it. And thanks for the constructive criticism. It was helpful without being offensive at all. I really appreciate it.

Purka In reply to shiroi-nami [2006-06-18 05:06:54 +0000 UTC]

I know this problem from my own drawing, I tend to make faces too short. So I thought I'd offer some advice, and I'm glad you took it well. I wasn't sure whether or not I was being too harsh.
Hope you'll find the name you're looking for.

Also, funny signature quotes. ;D Die is indeed very marry-able and j-rockers have many talents.

Haha, Die was my first J-Rock love and he'll probably always be my favorite. It's that gorgeous smile that got me

Haha, the bad part is the extent to which I wish I could find out Ruki and Reita's "talents".
