Description EDIT: Okay, so months later, I finally got around to tweaking this thing. I hope the tattoo is looking lighter. The big-headedness remains for the time being; I will fix this when I am not under much time constraints (read: AWA). I also made some cosmetic touch-ups to his face, largely around the eyes and mouth. I doubt anyone will really notice; it is more to my own amusement anyway.

Meant to post this prior to Animazement...but yeah, my first finished CG in...a good while. To be honest, I didn't even intend to include a background (if you can call it that. It's...lazy. But it's better than flat colours, right?). I also tried out a new approach to colouring, which still needs kinks ironed out, but that's normal with any new technique.

Anyway! Poster boy! Chris! Goggles! I dunno about you guys, but I'd totally want to see "Karate Jesus" live.

Also, there are three references to geek/cartoon culture here. Have fun!

(Oh yes, and I'm resurrecting my personal site. O THE HORRORS)

I wanna see the Cockblocks and Karate Jesus Live D: WHEN ARE THEY COMING TO A VENUE NEAR ME?!

Anyways, This is another thing I've been holding off on to properly comment

Is it weird that I can't stop staring at his BODY HAIR?! I'm just amazed that you drew it, and it looks as good as it does. So rarely do artists draw their guys with body hair and it's rarely drawn so... nice. ._.

Anyways, I love the tattoo but I think it... might be too brownish? I know it's a black tattoo but for some reason I keep wanting to think that there should be a hint of green to it? (Then again, everyone I know with a tattoo has had them forever and a day) I mean, to me it might make it look a little more like a real tattoo? Though I'm not a tattoo expert, so

I AM ALSO IN LOVE WITH HOW YOU DRAW SHADOWS. They always look accurate and I can't stop staring at them~ <3

If I get bored and randomly paint a "vicious" tie one day, would you wear it? XD;;

And this is going to sound weird, but I like how Chris's arm hair turned out. O__O; It looks like I could just reach out, pet his arm, and be like, "Ooooo, manly." XD

Thank you! The colouring was a new style, something I plan to implement into future works very soon. One of them will prove to be relevant to your interests, I'm sure.
I'm glad you like that background, too! It seems it was a good choice for me to use a background after all!

I plan to use this sort of colouring--and hopefully improve on it while I'm at it--for future works (including that Jin I just posted). I think the fact that you and others like the background is proof that I *can* do a suitable background when it's called for.

I think fangirls hate me because my men aren't animu/bishonen enough for 'em. :devLadyJonia: had pointed out that he didn't have much in the way of body hair for an Italian, so I've added a bit more. Not quite as hairy, but it's there and it's crazy how easy it was to create the texture. I'm glad you appreciate the touch of realism! Not all dudes wax every bit of hair off, after all.

Oh my stars and garters - new CG lovelyness!

Great job on this, you're skills continue to improve apace - particularly like the fact that you went to the trouble of adding those individual hairs for the arms/treasure trail! Is that a new tat on Chris, or have we just missed it up until now?

👍: 0 ⏩: 3

viciousSHADi In reply to ll [2009-06-03 22:20:58 +0000 UTC]

Yay! It's been forever since I really posted anything proper.

The new colouring approach has worked out thus far, methinks. The individual hairs were actually a lot of fun to add--and certainly made easier thanks to the new tablet. As for Chris' tat, it's fairly new--it's only ever appeared once: [link]

satia In reply to ll [2009-06-03 22:13:13 +0000 UTC]

And the answer is . . .

The tat is new!

The Christmas Pinup proves that Chris did not have this tat until recently.

I was wondering the same thing . . . was the tat always there? I am going to dig through my collections to see what I can find, if anything.

Hey Shadi! Is this new ink or have we overlooked things? Inquiring minds want to know.

The new colouring, while taking some getting used to, is definitely a hit with me. I appreciate your note of that! The trees are only really easy for me because of that view I have from my window (which I'm happy to say that so far, they're doing much better than they were last year!)!

Sexy as always. He seems to have good taste in ties. Also I love how you gave the "lazy background" a realistic urban feel.

viciousSHADi In reply to LordIceFox [2009-06-09 23:29:11 +0000 UTC]

I wish I had his taste in neckties! But I'd probably have to start wearing them first. I'm glad that you like that background--it's simple, but I thought a little something that gave you an idea of what kind of setting he was in would suffice. Plus, I'm such a sucker for urban-type backgrounds, truth be told.

LordIceFox In reply to viciousSHADi [2009-06-10 00:17:40 +0000 UTC]

I would definately enjoy wearing em. Hell if I had the money, I trully could cos-play as them. It would be kind of fun to dress like Chris, but I don't have the hair or the build. I look much like as some say like Uryū Ishida from Bleach. Or the timid version of Snape. lol

The urban style is probably the most detailed version of simple background. I believe it looks great because, it gives off more modern feelings.
