Description Month-old sketch meets random color experimentation. Might move to scraps later, or come up with a better version.

All in Photoshop 7.

Pffft. Move to scraps. Are you serious?

I adore this, the colors are perfect. It's such a unique and stunning piece.

Eh, it was just an experiment, that's why.

It's really different, which I was I like it. The use of color very much powers the emotion in the characters face. Plus, I love the soft shading and use of texture on this piece.

Thanks! I need to experiment more often, I guess.

Holy...!

Wow. Simply wow.

I had to pause and stare when I saw this pop up in my deviations. I am just utterly floored by this. I don't even know where to start.

I guess my first thought when I saw this was: damn does this ever convey sheer despair. It's borderine anguish, now that I think of it, and I think that can be attributed to the bold colours. There's something about them that's very extreme. I also think this has to do with Kage looking upwards with an expression of what looks like grief; he looks almost powerless and at someones mercy.

Overall, I'm impressed with the initial and lasting impression this picture has, the gentle blending of intense colours, and the anatomically well-done portrait.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Wow. Such fantastic comments! But yours always are.

The color was mostly experimental, but I'm glad it was so successful in conveying the mood. Good contrast is something I often fail to achieve. I need to be braver...

Thank you!
