WHY oh WHY did I not do this in a cel style, which would have taken 1/10th the time? AARG.



the brooding Yuu Kanda from D. Gray-man.



Yes, I hate the background, but there's no time to waste on trying to fix it some more.

I really like him and his jacket in color, or I guess mostly in B&W.

As for what I've been doing all day, see my LJ right now. THANK GOD I just finished itemizing receipts, which means I can take tomorrow off.

Oh man. The coloring on the jacket is amazing. So pretty. They eyes and hair are great, too. This is really lovely!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Heh. :D Maybe it was Ando. YOU MISSED YOUR CHANCE!

Thanks!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

THank you! :D

"Hiro. You look bad-ass."

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Well, if it was Ando, I never had a chance anyway.

I have no idea what the source manga/anime is, but that's very, very pretty. (And I actually like the starkness of the background)

I like the drawing, too, but on my screen the dark brown background blends into the hair and jacket. I hope your print version doesn't do that, as it would be ashamed if all that attitude didn't come across as nicely as it could.

*sigh* actually "it" wouldn't be "ashamed", it would be "a shame".

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It's actually very distinct on the print; you might want to adjust your monitor's settings. :D

Guh.

I have what his room looks like, if you want to re-do background after the con.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? Cool. :D (And if I don't redo this pic, I like me a Brooding occasionally, so I might do more. :D)

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Kanda's room is FULL OF BROODY. (http://pics.livejournal.com/sosdanchou/gallery/000051y3) And more would be very encouraged from me!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Oh! The starkness! The cracks in the window! The cobwebs! The exposed brick! The single lamp! YOU DON'T GET MORE BROODY THAN THAT!

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Isn't it AWESOMELY BROODY?

I suspect if I lived alone my house would look exactly like Rabi and Bookman's room.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

My office/studio current looks exactly like Rabi and Bookman's room...

...well, with the exception of fewer papers and more book-type things because the cat shreds any loose paper she can get her paws on.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Cats are helpful that way.

You know, looking at Linali's room...there are days when Komui's sister-complex is cute, and then there are days where it's creepy. @_@

One feels terribly curious as to who gets top bunk in Rabi and Bookman's room. XD

I second the comment about the starkness of the background working well in this case. That and the color choices really make him ... I don't want to say "pop," because it's more subtle than that. But the combo brings him out really nicely.

I like it more every time I look at it.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks! (And I fixed the extra-bright bits at the end of his ponytail in the original. XD)

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes indeed.

Bookman, I bet. And Rabi tells him he's too old to be climbing up there and Bookman smacks him upside the head.
