Description
Red Kikuchiyo is searching for red leaves!(Anyway, the story in Samurai 7 really starts in autumn...)
Autumn's always my favourite season. It's cool, beautiful and comfortable! Much better than the sweaty summer.
Unfortunately, autumn is quite short in my city. When the lunar calendar states mid-autumn between September and October, not until November has the autumn came.
Tried *CombuskensFlame 's Gradient shading style this time. I think this method makes yours pictures looks neat!
The background is an edited photo taken by me in the Hong Kong Wetland Park. It's just the wall of the main building. The leaves are not that red in the original one, though.

Perfect use of colors. The line art is very sharp. I like the fact that you didn't try to add depth via the line art itself and instead used your coloring technique. Thats the strong area in this picture! Awesome!
Keep it up!!

Thanks for the comment and !
I've never thought about adding depth via line art actually, but this still sounds like a interesting method!

Thanks for the comment. If so, perhaps I should use this style more often!

Thank you! Since my usual style doesn't works well for metal things, I used this as an experiment. Glad to hear that it works well!
