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. ^^

OMFG IAN.
Dayum. It's soooooo cool. I CRIED. ;A;
Jesus, for the love of God, do more watercolor!!! Such bitching pensmanship (is that a word?).
I know it says "advanced critique encouraged" but anything I could say would just be nitpicky and retarded. Nice lighting...
You rekindled my Ryuk love! I was going to draw him, leik, fo-evar ago, but then Death Note got kinda bland. When L died, I was thinking, "Mmmkay... so... what the hell is the point of the show now?" Plus L is the shit. MOTHER FUCKERS. D:
Gah. Just gah.

Ekekekeke!! Thank you!
I dunno if pensmanship is a word, but it definately should be if it isn't. I definately wil do more watercolor, so you don't have to worry about that. I really struggled with getting the blending and splatters right on this, since I wasn't used to it and I'm still overcoming my incompetence with that medium. I mean... I make TONS of mistakes, and I have to learn to not make so many because you can't really paint over watercolors...
*cuts rant short*
Yeah! So, thanks very much! ^^
I'm glad one static, uninteresting pic of Ryuk could renew your Ryuk love.

Mistakes, schmistakes. You know what I do? I cover 'em up with a nice, thick coat of india ink. BAH HAH. Problem SOLVED! >: D
WutEVA! It's totally interesting, you stupid bitch! Thanks much for the temporary inspiration! Let's see if I do anything with it before it goes away. >_>
I noticed something, too! A mistake? Kind of. Not really.
So you do it a lot, but I never really noticed. The neck - first of all, a little small. Actually, the head is a little too big for the body. Yeah.
But the neck! It's concave, and it should be convex. I know those are the wrong words to use in accordance to a neck, but do you know what I mean?
Like... Ryuk is kind of stretching his neck out and he's kind of looking up and stuff, so the neck should be, like... it should curve outwards. Ya know? I don't know. Explaining stuff is hard.

Lolol, fine. I don't have the resources or art instinct to think of that. -_-'
Psh, that's such a lie, but if you're inspired, thats cool and stuff. Wutevah.
Ah! I gotcha. I know what you're trying to say, I mean. Yesh, I do that a lot now that I think about it.... his neck should be craned in the opposite direction... >.>

Not that hard. It's like an eraser, but not. >___>
Ian, you're such an asshat! How can you not be proud of this?? Holy shit, dude! D:<
Okie, gewd. I was stressing out trying to think about how to word it. Jesus. ;A; But, I'm glad ya got me. Cuz, you know, it's the little details that can make something look that much better. Anatomy sucks behind, anyhow.

Well, I'm kinda numb to it now. This happens a lot. I just finished it, so I'm in that really nitpicky stage. I might like it in a week. :\

Graaah! *Headdesk* So much detail, it's blowing my stuff out of the water. Stop showing me up, you.

Lol! I'm not showing you up, nor am I trying to! XD
I guess I'll take that as a compliment then, so thank you very much. And please don't headdesk so much, your desk could break.

I think my head would break before this desk. I swear it's made of iron, not wood.
And good, because it was meant as a goofy compliment. You know I'm incapable of just saying something normally. Shazam.

Hee, but that makes it all the more interesting! :3
Well, don't break your head or your desk. Slam it on a pillow, some foam, or maybe a highschool freshman.

Freshmen are good targets, but inconvenient since I'm not in high school anymore.
Maybe I can use the next random passerby.

This is true... just make sure the next passerby doesn't currently contribute to your paycheck.
