Description
Because lighting is extremely important. Just a single shift can change the atmosphere of the picture. Goth enshroud by shadow looks far more dangerous and monstrous than the one that is in normal light. The tone becomes more tense and foreboding.
I love playing around with the filter. Also, I think I can work with FireAlpaca a bit better now. Too bad that it doesn't have the grain filter to make the drawing look like it belongs with the background, but oh well, I'll figure that out someday.
The backdrop is from Disney's "Peter Pan."
This interpretation of Goth belongs to me.
Goth is a character from "Silverwing" by Kenneth Oppel.

Heck yeah, I collected the trilogy and extra book! It got me hooked on bats (given my name) and I’ve reread it three times,, my all time favorite book series

It's certainly a wonderful book series. ^_^ I have all 3 books too, though I couldn't find the Darkwing one. The cartoon is pretty nice as well considering its budget, the time it was made, and the willingness to tackle some dark aspects.

Darkwing is on amazon, though it’s kinda expensive all things considered :\
I’ve never seen the cartoon, is it on YouTube or Netflix by any chance?

Depending on where you live, youtube has blocked the episodes.
But you can watch it on watchcartoononline
It's where I watch it.

Personally, I like the bottom half better. Much more sinister!

I like both for different reasons. xD The top for the color reference in case I draw him like this again. The bottom because yeah- dark atmosphere~ x3

Oh yeah, the top one is really great, too. Both are quite artistic!

O____________________________O Alright sis, you need to go to Canada and have the animation hire you! This is the best drawn Goth form book I ever saw! Everything about this just how he is described from the book!

Personally, I would love it if Don Bluth would take on this project! He's not afraid of using dark themes!

I'm telling the truth!
Ooh it will be amazing if Don Bluth did! Without a doubt, he's the king of making dark themes!

Nice!!!
I LOVE how gorgeous your design for Goth looks with the realistic vampyrum colours you gave him (also makes me think of Atkun 
I also thank you for giving us a non-shadowed version so we can see what your Goth design looks like in all his full-coloured glory (from the mid-chest up anyway ) plus a BEAUTIFUL alternate version of the shot beneath where Goth's in near pitch-black shade against the lush, bright-centred jungle backround!!! 
WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK BY YOU, GIRL!!!
Do you plan to do a coloured version of your Goth, Melody and Marina alternate designs pic, or make alternate designs for more 'Gone Batty'/'Silverwing' characters?
BRAVO!!!

Yes, I am planning to do more with the alternative designs.

Holy goodness he looks so amazing!

Thanks!!! I really love giving him my own personal twist to him. Despite how much I do love the Bardel Ent. look he has in the show.

This is very impressive. Indeed, the change of light does shift the whole mood considerably.

Good, that was the idea. ^^

Whoooaaaa this is AMAZING!! I know I said this on the sketch but I love this design you came up with for him! And the SHADOW VERSION! I don't have words but it's really cool!!

As Iron Maiden's song, Fear of the Dark goes, I have a constant fear that something's always there. This brings back fears of what could be lurking where we cannot see.

Holy moly, this style of Goth looks so cool and menacing! And the darker lighting doubles that aura even more!

Feels very Don Bluth Secrets of Nihm~~
I like this a lot! Nice work!!

Lol! Why does everyone keep comparing my style to Don Bluth? I'm not even trying go for that. xDDD Don Bluth style is way different. I was aiming more for Disney-esque style. But with of course, my own personal touch.
Thank you!

I could not help it XD
I mean you do have your own touch very much so, I just think it's the dark tones that's all XD
but you are very welcome

Well, I do love my dark tones. xP heeehee!

It is quite interesting, especially with this picture. I can see, that you are not trying to imitate this special style we know from animated movies like "The Land before Time", "An American Tail" and "The Secret of N.I.M.H". Yet i can also see why people would compare it with Don Bluth. It is different, yet there are certain similarities.
Like i said, it's more noticable here. Most of your other works are distinctively different, as far as i can tell.
But no matter wich of your styles you use, it allways looks pretty nice

Thank you.

It certainly gives the image a very different atmosphere. It's also cool to see the colored version of your design for him, the blue eyes are an interesting choice but I think they work really well to contrast his warmer color scheme.
You can always try using textures for the grain effect, like this one which is free to use www.flickr.com/photos/kzebra/5…

You noticed his eyes, yay!!! Yeah, I picked blue because honestly, how many villains can you count from the top of your head that have gorgeous blue eyes? (aside from Gaston, but he's the only I can think of. xP) Yellow/Red/Green are over used in my opinion.
Ooh, I'll check that out :3 Thanks!

Ummm honestly only one that comes to mind right now is Lord Darcia from Wolf's Rain, but even he has one blue and one yellow eye. It definitely is one of the less typical colors for villains, probably cause old cliches die hard. Yellow/red/green/orange/purple basically anything that can pass as dark and sinister is often used for villains, especially in cartoons, blue usually being among the "good"- oh and Marluxia, Larxene, maybe some other folks from Org XIII but can't remember- so yeah, it's usually seen as a positive color and thus more common for protagonists. But I think experimenting is good and it brings fresh ideas.
You're welcome. ^^

*whispers* anime don't count. xD And practically EVERYONE in KH has blue eyes, and even then they are mainly anime characters themselves.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fair enough, suppose anime really follows other rules, at least most of the time. But yeah definitely less common in western cartoons. Also remembered Syndrome from Incredibles has blue eyes, but it definitely is rare.
