Description Uhh, I feel kinda bad about posting this, since this was done really late at night with like... 1 crappy ref for the scar shape, and I didn't really put a lot (read: any) effort into making the anatomy good. :/ PLUS it was done in Photoshop, which I officially can't use. So don't be surprised if it gets scrapped.
But nonetheless, my gallery was feeling lonely, so it needed more arts (and I should REALLY get around to commenting and responding, ugh).

Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

:3

Oh, BTW, should Avatar be in the anime or cartoons category? o_O

Wooow that's a very good portrait... he looks kind of sickly in both meanings of the word.

His smile's creeping me out o_O

I would say Cartoons; the producers wanted AtLA to emulate an anime, but it's made in America so it's really not.

Onto the drawing: Your painting and drawing technique is beautiful. I have a small critique, and that is that his neck seems a little too long and thin. BUT! The way you drew his scar and lips is absolutely amazing!

Thank you. : D Yeah, you're completely right. This is a fairly old (ew) piece though, so hopefully I've done something about those problems in more recent pieces. Thanks, though.
: ) Glad you like it.

The anatomy isn't perfect but the colouring on Zuko's burn scar really make this image quite brilliant! Good work!

That is such a realistic picture of Zuko. That shows you're probably good at any characters. As another challenge you should do a Jin and Zuko picture. Great work.

I think it rocks. I love the stronge darks, very chiaroscuro. And I just thought
you should know that some of the most amazing artistic break-throughs happen
in the wee hours of the morning, both for me and other artist friends of mine, so
you are not alone. ^_^ Sometimes doing something so late makes it sloppy,
other times (like in yours) it simply makes the figure more gestural and
impressionistic, and gives a picture that "snaps shot" quality that is so cool.

I think I just procrastinate the day away and only DO things at the wee hours of the morning, so that's only to be expected.
...: O I thought I just didn't know what the hell I was doing. AWESOME.
Thank you so much. :3

Oooh, that scar scares me, which means it worked. Love all the tones and colors in the skin, especially the reds in the nose and lips, and your lineart is really damned lovely. Oh, nice job on the shape of the nose, too - I like how 3-D it looks, with all the highlights and attention to light 'n stuff.

ComradeBitter In reply to cbernie [2006-06-01 02:38:42 +0000 UTC]

I don't know what you're talking about with the lineart: it's sloppy and rushed as always.
The scar and nose were a lot of fun to do, actually, and I was really surprised with how the scar came out. o_o;
Thank you so much. :3 <3!

I looove how you colored his scar, and the shading around the mouth and nose are perfect! the background also fits him ^^ the texture is really cool... what brush didja use?

ComradeBitter In reply to RJBritton [2006-06-01 02:36:16 +0000 UTC]

BG are some photos jacked somewhere, and most of the texture is from the chalk brush... Uhh... I have no idea what it's called. I'll take a screenie and show you which one it is next time you're on AIM? :3

Personally, I think it looks awesome. And I think I'd say cartoons.

I didn't know you were a fan of Avatar.

Holy shit does that scar look cool or what. You are YUMMY in Photoshop, shut up! *pets him*
And yeah, it would be on cartoons rather, it's made in America afterall.

Heh, I love that scar toooo. I don't know how I drew it. Must have been someone else. :[

*Nod* True! Will keep in mind.

Awww, this one was just dumb luck. :/ And practice. Most of which was in vain, because I still can't use photoshop. And/or it takes more patience than I really have.
And thank you! <3!
