Description
THIS IS BEST FREAKING COLOR JOB I HAVE EVER DONE!!!HOLY CRAP! I love how this turned out. The color, not the lines. The lines are a little wonky, but the color on the face, and his hair! Oh my god, his hair!!
I purposely didn't color his clothes properly. I haven't really developed his outfit yet, and I didn't really feel like setting anything in stone right away.
What? Who is he? Well, I'm glad you asked. This is Ryu, the main character of my latest project, There's One In Every Family. (Which can be found here: ~enstyledesign-LIT , along with several other stories that I've been working on.)
Ryu is a cute and quirky eighteen-year-old orphan with distinctive features that label him non-human, and thus an outcast to most of the world. He's had to become a thief in order to survive, but in his heart, he wants to do good and do great things. Much like every single other orphaned hero in existance.
TOIEF is a character study project of mine, where I take every single stereotype known to man, create a character out of it and develop that character into a well-rounded, believeable personage, without losing the basic mainframe of which I set. For example, we have the Orphaned Hero, Ryu. He's an Orphan, and he's destined to be a Hero. Just Link, Naruto, Simon, Ginji, Jak, Batman, Luke Skywalker, Aladdin, Goku, ALL FIVE of the Gundam Wing Pilots, Harry Potter, Aang, EVERY SINGLE DC/Marvel Character, Bambi, Jake Gyllenhaal, (insert main character of ANY anime/manga/book/movie/TV Show/etc. here)...
You get my point.
This is a serious project that I hope will strengthen my writing skills. And also if you could spare a few moments, I would love an opinion on my stories. Every little bit helps. And I know that my stuff's not perfect, and it may not be your cup of tea. And if it's not, that's my tea and I want it back, you asshole.
Fun Fact: Ryu means "dragon." Don't think for a moment I'm not going to exploit that till kingdom come.

Holy hell, I think you're right... that IS the best color-job I've seen you post here! THAT HAIR. The SHIRT.

Yes! I miss coloring with pencils. I think I need to take it up again.

Indeed! That said, watching you with sharpies helped me learn enough technique to do some awesome inking on my newest project. So <3 for that, too.
Also... brush pens. I LOVE brush pens.

Sweet! It's not I've lost my love of sharpies. I miss being able to shade without having to cell shade.

XD I know! I love how his hair came out. I want to style it like Landon Pigg's hair. [link] Except shorter around the sides and back. I just want the bangs, because Landon is soo freaking adorable. More like how he has his hair in his video for "Falling in Love At a Coffee Shop [link] " God, I love song so much. He's soo cute!! What do you think?
Squee!! Gundam Wing!!! Duo's my favorite!!!

I definitely love the bangs, and also prefer the style your way. I have a limit on how long a guy's hair can get before I find it unattractive, and the shorter sides/back help.
Duo was great! I think, of the five, I might prefer Quatre, but I haven't watched enough to make that judgment call. In the few episodes I watched, Quatre had the cute timid personality that I can't help but love. I hear that he goes crazy, and I think that would also be fun.
If we're going for hair, Zechs had the best. It was sexy hair. He was kinda sexy . . .

Yeah, I had the ephiphany this morning about how I wanted his hair. I love Landon's bangs and I think they would look awesome on Ryu. Ryu's not supposed to have long hair. It gets longer as he gets older, but for right now it's pretty short.
Quatre is so adorable! And Pyscho!Quatre is freaking awesome. He's so creepy when he goes pyscho.

Well, I just think it looks pretty
I'm excited to watch it now, but it's not the kind of thing I'll watch by myself, so it'll be a while before I get there.

Yeah, I understand. I had to watch with two of my closest friends. And now I own the whole series on DVD!
