Description
Started out as something to work on between my calendar art because even I get bored of just drawing scenery over and over again. So I have been working on and off this for the past couple of weeks so I'm surprised that I'm actually content with what the final result came out like. Not totally as I envisioned but close enough and I've spent enough time on it.Just a long-haired bishie and a lot of pretty purple stuff, mainly the girls will only like it but I'm sure some guys will too
drawn in Photoshop alone, no 3D or photo-manips used, as usual in my character art. My reference was a Ball-Jointed Doll here [link] I'm glad those things are so popular, I'm finding them good reference models and inspire me to make pretty characters...it's win-win 
Also my first semi-realism attempt I feel might be good enough for a print, so why not - it's costing me nothing

I have to admit that I didn't expect you to have this drawing! When I looked at it, I was thinking it was from another aritst, and had to do a double to see that it was you, haha.
That doesn't mean that you aren't good, its just I was surprised...

Well, seeing as I took a picture of it and put it as my cell phone wallpaper and saved it into my inserperational folder in my pictures; I realized I had to actually SHOW you that I enjoyed it so much, so I thought "Hey, whynot?" and faved.

Well you certainly live up to your name! He's a pretty boy alright. Who doesn't love a good Bishie? And purple hair just tops it off.

Lol, what can I say - I like drawing pretty-boys, bishounen's that is 
I'm glad you think the material on his kimono is realistic too, I was going for the Silky look
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes, it really is a mystery. I love drawing pretty-boys too - only that might have something to do with my inability to draw men (or at least buff men) and my obsession with long hair blowing in the breeze.

"Bishie Injection" - if only it were that easy
Yep, all Photoshop - there's no way I could use 3D in these ones, seeing how I know nothing about character modelling

I really like the purple. I'm a sucker for the violet spectrum.

Thanks, purple is grossly underused in art when it has so much appeal 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whoa this is great!
The purple makes it so relaxing, and I really enjoy the flowers you added. And I like when it's on full view you can really see all the details in the outfit. Fantastic job.

Thanks, the word Emollient I think means "softening" or "soothing" - so I thought that went well with the purple colouring

Thanks! glad I can be original with these, since the populariy of the genre makes that nearly impossible 
I'm always trying to improve at these too, and hopefully learn to do them a bit faster, glad to hear it's working
