Description
More fanart? Yup.I got some watercolor supplies recently, and what better way to break them in than draw one of the coolest shinigami ever?
I picked up some pretty heavy cotton-based paper from the art room before leaving the Career Center forever... and set to work on this about 2 weeks ago.
Although I have a ton of free time, it's hard for me to find the will to do art now. It's really problematic since I have so much I need to do, though! I've gotta finish ~Paimonerra 's art trade, do some avvy art for ~zeldaalchemist for catching my unofficial kiriban, and a chibi bonus pic of Gorrex for *Crimson-Jazz for being my first commission client.
That's not including all the projects I have planned for myself, scholarship crap.... it's all really dizzying. *sigh*
Anyway! I really feel like using this deviation as a journal, since a lot is going on, but I'll wait to type all that later. This summer should be pretty exciting for me.
K, so picture stuff now!
It's Ryuk from Deathnote, pretty simple. He is holding an apple because he luffs them. :]
The pose was pretty hard to work out, and a lot of pen work went into this before I even thought of coloring it.
The composition looks tons better in person, trust me.
Anyway- yay! No obtrusive watermark this time. That being said... no art thievery please! It's usually a problem with fanart, so I hope that doesn't happen.
Yeah... um.
Coolies. I can finally get some other stuff done. ^^

This looks very surreal, what I like the most are the irregular lines for the creature. Well done.

Thank you very much! I wish I could go back and redo the linework; things seem really awkward looking back on it now. It's mainly anatomical issues, I guess...
ANYWAY. Before I start to ramble, thanks very much! I was so excited to see that someone called it "surreal"! This proves that my original style shows through in my fanart, and I feel less like a sellout now.

Brilliant work!
I like the flow of the lines and the amazing and intricated details!
Interesting expression on the character's face and nice execution
of the background that gives to the whole scene a dramatic sense!
congratulations on your DD!

Thanks! Looking back, I feel like I could have made it more dramatic had I used india ink instead of black watercolor. I think it would have flowed much better.
Thank you very much on all accounts!

Your compositions always amaze me! I also love how you put your own spin on this character...those wings are so eyecatching, too! Even in black and white, your work has so much depth and detail put into it! ^^

Oh, alright! I have a bit of a suggestion, if you'd like to try it.... I've always wanted to see your take on someone with a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia (ever since I read about it here: [link] ). I think that your style would portray it really well!

Dude I love this, the colors and blending are great !
I saw you the other day and said hello when you were at the Square for the 4th of July, but I guess you were on a mission haha. In any case, we should hang out soon for old time's sake, if I don't get back to you on here anytime soon then facebook me and I am sure to get back to.

Thanks much!
Yeah, I saw you there on the 4th too! I was kinda in a hurry and there were lots of people to catch up with, so I was rushing along and all that.
Ok, I'll be sure to keep in contact and try to find a time to hang out. Have a good summer man :]
