Description
Guess who’s taking up the 100 Themes Project?[full view, please.
]Kane to introduce you to the project. I fixed his mask up a bit so there is actually an eye hole and his eye isn’t magically glued to the mask, although he is quite the magician [among other things].
Started this picture last night at 9.10-ish till… haha, almost 12. By then I had the right half of the image done. Spastically finished the rest of the image today. The background nearly killed me… although I enjoyed doing this image.
[tools] Painter IX.5
[total] Around seven hours. Which means I shouldn’t have trouble getting deviations submitted, since I can sacrifice some sleeping hours I guess…
…
… maybe not.

I really like this character, why does he wear the mask?
and the picture itself has such wondefully rich textures. I love his skin.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kane loves masquerades, and believes every day should be one, so he wears a more casual mask. Very artsy, classy and witty guy. :3
Also it's just part of the character design. Hehe. But that's the main story behind the mask. I should expand upon it someday.
Thank you! I applied a texture to the canvas that helped me get that look. :3

Sick stuff, I realy like the comic book type look you give your work, nice job. I like the font, crazy lookin
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! I was aiming for that sort of look in this picture. I hope to have a few projects similar to this - and better - done within the next year or so, or at least started. :3 Long story, I hope to keep the rest a surprise...
The font. Uuuh... It was a mix of two. I know the big "O" was Old English, I think the rest might've been Parchment.

nice, sounds sick. best of luck to you

Awesome!! O_O I love the way you do lighting. ^__^ Looks realistic. Nice texture, too. ^___^
Your signature's so pretty. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! : D I'm picking up this style of drawing and coloring, and I like it. It isn't too hard to do, but enough for a challenge and that I'm not half-assing it. :3 And yeah, I have to incorporate textures into images more often, so expect that more. :3
xD You're not the first to have said that... thank you!! I try to make it pretty because Ds are so ugly in cursive. x]

Great presentation! It sort of looks like Kane's gonna get sucked right into the book (it's the way the picture in the book doesn't quite conform to the angle of the page, but that's not a big deal).
Yeah, backgrounds are so cumbersome in digital media, don't you think? But they're a lot more fun in traditional media! I'd like to get back into drawing/painting with traditional media, especially with oil sticks, but I just need some sort of concept to work with I guess.
And speaking of traditional media, really like the textures you've got going on! Perhaps I should try incorporating more natural textures into my digital work; it'd help make it look less perfect, haha
Great work! ^__^

Pressed send too soon D:
Thank you so much for the comment AND the lovely CRITIQUE!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww... I should pay more attention to that next time. :3 If there is a next time. Thank you for pointing that out though! I would've never noticed...
They really are cumbersome, no ruler or anything to help you out... I like doing background on paper more, yeah you're right. :3 I'd love to see some of your traditional media work! I've only ever seen digital.
Haha, yes, your artwork is very perfect. :3 I thought the textures actually made the picture look better, more alive and stuff... like you could touch it. :3

Oh, the start of a story! (I don't know what 100 themes is.) You took your time! 
All in all, a spectacular peice. I want to see the next!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
100 themes is basically... well... drawing pictures of 100 themes. : D They have lists and everything, I picked the original.
Oh, but I like how it didn't take me -forever- to complete. :3
I like the close up on the face! Thank you! : D That part was very fun to do.
I did have a brighter fire in there, but it looked funny... D:
Thank you! : D

I saw in your journal. Good luck!
You are getting quicker. I remeber how Virtual Midnight took you months!

Wow...looks amazing...I love the canvasy look to the facial features...how'd you get that effect...you really nailed the face...what with the perfect nose and smile...awesome. Great new icon stuff too, by the way, very fitting.
You did a really nice job on the background, way to suffer through. BG's are just like that...I like the chair though...that's neat...with the panel the size it is and everything, I can't tell if there's a weird perspective issue or not...I really like the fire, but I think you could've brightened it up some...it's a little dull as is. I like that glove...it's awesome.
The right panel is just amazing though. I love the warm highlights on the face, just spectacular stuff.

It might be the tool I used, I tried using filters, but that didn't work, so it must be the pens I used. A sketching pencil and oil pastels. :3 I've given up on trying to use the watercolor pen.
Kane's mouth is fun to do. I like him. :3
You know, I had originally put more shades of yellow and orange in teh fire, but it looked real exaggerated. D: And now it just looks like plastic, but I didn't want to drive the whole picture away. I wanted a warm picture, nothing flashy. But yes, I definitely have to work on fire...
Haha, you think there's a weird perspective issue? :3 There probably is!
I had the most fun doing the right panel and wanted to originally chuck out the left, but it needed it there for this whole themes project and to look like I worked hard.
Font = parchment. :3 Perfect for a story... thanks for the comment and crit. You're awesome.

Oh I can definitely see the pencil...that's great.
You'd better like him, cuz he rocks.
Yeah? Oh...you wanted it kind of diminished, I see. Right...that's a tough one...ho well, you definitely did a very nice job as a whole with this piece, so I wouldn't be sweating it.
I think it might be the angle of the floor is too sharp in relation to the back of the chair...yeah....dunno.
You rock.
Very perfect. Good choice. My pleasure.:Heart:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep... :3
Well I do like him very much. : D
Yeah... I'll improve on the next one for sure. :3
Angle of teh floor! Hahah... the background I really just squished in there, I only like the hardwood. :3
YOU rock, m'dear. :3

Smaller? :3 I can make it smaller... I thought I had a good size. x] I'll see what I can do within the next few days.

lol sorry, i just like looking at pictures as a whole (if that made any sense) so it's probably my problem xD I love the lighting and coloring in the composition, can't wait to see more
