Description I Updated it, it was bothering the hell out of me.

Been listening to Gary Numan's Exile album waaaay too much.

This went through a dozen (atleast) foregrounds. The background has been done for awhile, and is in my scraps w/the original idea. I added Max today within a 1/2 hour.

Foreground done in SAI, background in Photoshop. I cannot recommend SAI enough. It's MUCH easier to blend in than Photoshop. It's FREE for the first 30 days... and I love it so much. [link]

Looks great, especially with the updates. I think the red goes well with it since then you get a few more of those good/evil light/dark type images into it, with the bright light in one side and the burning red in the other.

Meh, what am I on about, I dropped English so I wouldn't have to think about that kinda stuff when I looked at a picture! xD
Anyhow either way, very cool and the update was certainly a good idea.

Great lighting, the background transition from dark blue to orange is quite familiar to me though...

Vanilla-Wicked In reply to coffinberry [2008-08-20 21:28:58 +0000 UTC]

Oh really? I can't stand my own work on my desktop, if I look at it too long, I see nothing but mistakes. But I really enjoy looking at others fine work.

My size is 1280x800.

Thanks so much!

really gorgeous drawing, coffin. This sketchy look is surely good.

BTW, What's SAI?

coffinberry In reply to Deneth [2008-08-20 00:57:56 +0000 UTC]

SAI is a painting program. At the moment I prefer it over Photoshop for it's blending+mixing of colors.

dragon-nexus [2008-08-19 21:30:23 +0000 UTC]

God I love Max, he's such an all round uber character. The meloncholy, the brooding angst without the emo attachment, the cockiness while still maintaining human-like frailty...

Love the background too. At once bland, but upon further viewing deep and almost enchanting. Heavenly, perhaps.

I'm reading too much into this perhaps, but I just love your work and characters that much =/

No, you're not reading into it too much. That's what I hoped people would get out of him Thank you.

You're very welcome.
He's one of the most compelling characters I've seen, tbh.

I love that background and Maxes face. good work.

Yeah. Sai is a good program. :3 But i'm sad, because my 30 day trial ran out. ); No more smooth happy linework for me in Sai.....

Great work, I like it a lot. But why is there wind on the scarf but not on the hair on his forehead?
