Nose and mouth

[telophase]

I copied Near's face over to another file so I could rotate it and check the proportions and placement - always hard to see when a head is tilted - and ... man I love his nose and lips.






Posting them here so I look back and marvel at them after I screw them up when putting in darker detail.


You know that neither Mello, Near, nor L has eyebrows? It's really annoying. And Mello hates you because it's hard to hate people when you don't have eyebrows. But he manages it anyway because he is just that good at it.

Ohhhh....I was expecting another Near from the colorless draft you prepared...maybe it's because is not complete...can I say that I was expecting something else without hurting your feelings?

The iris were bigger and you reduce them. He looks like a nun. I liked the touch you gave him more teen in the draft. Now he looks childish and femaleish. He also looks too dark like sorta from middle-east features. I always though him German-ish kid. You gave him in the draft a most deep and dark lines in the upper eye which gave him a mischief face....now looks more soft and like a santa Maria Teresa. You also rounded his chin which help to give him even more child-look.

I know I know...there is still a lot work to be done. It's just my opinion. I hope you don't get me wrong! I admire your talent and I like to how you keep us posted with progressive Workin-Progress..
