Description FULL VIEW! DA thumbnails don't show transparencies.

He's all done! It was nice not to have to rush a drawing for a change. This was my friend's birthday present, of his RPG character Osamu. He said the style the character's from is like 12 Kingdoms and Fushigi Yuugi, and he wanted a bit of the FF Tactics time mage thrown in there. He also uses ofuda to summon shadowy thingies.

If some of the dark shading is off, forgive me, my monitor is pretty dark. But I hope I got the smoky affect in the shadowy thing across OK...

Sketched with pencil, everything else but the lame hanzui on the ofuda done in Illustrator. I forgot the writing and had to add it in Photoshop.

Yeah I know the hand holding the ofuda is wrong. I worked so long on this, please don't mention it. -_-;

Taking me forever to comment on this, but here it is... I really like the way the face and upper torso came out, but I think the bottom is a bit rigid... I wish his legs were a little more dynamic, but overall it's a solid composition... And I love your usage of transparencies!

The shadow indeed looks like smoke in my eyes. I think you pulled it out nicely.

Oh sweet! I love that shadow creature that hes got there. The pose is pretty awesome as well, I like how he's holding the exorcism paper (at least thats what I call them). The hair looks great as well, I love how you shaded it

Thanks! Yes, you should. I dunno how fun it is, it's really time-consuming (that shadow monster was the most difficult thing if you could believe that) but the results look cool.

grr DA isn't letting me fullview. How weird. OH WAIT! Lol it just took a long time to load. Random. but I see the transparency now!!! :3

I like it, I like! The vectory hair-ness is great. Hurrah for highlights! I liek the bg screen thingy. Frames the character really nicely.

I love the expression, and the outfit is just awesome. You also did an excellent job colouring and adding detail to the hair. It's all around very cool!

V. good. Very clean work. (If I had but one iota of your vectoring skills though -- sigh!)

It's funny that you are complaining about those who fav'd your WIP though. Some people would be happy with any favs.

Thanks. I just started on vectors 3 months ago, I'm not very far along. You just have to have a lot of patience.

But why +fav something I said was gonna be deleted anyway?

People are funny that way. I guess it is a way of showing support.

I love this vector! It's awesome!
The line on the left hand looks a bit odd to me (or maybe I'm just a bit crazy ) Anyways, the shading on the hair is beyond awesome! Great job!

Naw you're right, I should probably make it shorter... tendons shouldn't be that visible with your hand ion that pose... ugh but otherwise it's look so flat and argh I am not fixing this anymore. It gave me so much trouble. Vectors are hard. ;_;
