Description
lol such epic title for just.. colour practice pic >> been ages since I`ve coloured something fully in photoshop.Sooo here`s Maruth who uhm shares how he once was just your average child prince who dreamed of being a hero fighting bad guys and being a fair ruler of the kingdom .... but the tale went horribly wrong. As result he was known in history as one of the most destructive necromancers >>a
Ah just so love drawing him lately
He`s oldie character.. like about 9 year old!OpenCanvas for line art
Photoshop CS2 for colours
About..3-4 hours.. lost track of time
Meh nothing special really..doodled it, threw a gradient layer and thought to try some different colouring and kinda like the result >_>a;;
Maruth (c) to me
Thank you for viewing! *hands cookies*

Maruth!
He really was such a cutie! Still is, actually, but..... XD
He looks like a young adventurer about to start off on a quest actually, at least on the left. And his eyes even once he's older...can still tell he has a story to tell.
And I love love love gradient coloring. It works so well for this picture too ^^

For a colour practice sketch, it actually looks pretty epic, so... I'd say the title fits! 
...Perhaps I'm just imagining stuffs.
Eitherway, this is gorgeous. Pretty colours which kind of make this whole painting look like some old faded memory.

Hurray for late replies to comments!
Ahh similar horns to Berzebub (yep Zulah`s beloved) just not jade coloured 
But yeah similar alright!
Ahh thank you thank yoou! Good to know it gives the old faded memory effect even if it isn`t like..some old yellow-ish paper effect but other colours used *_*!

Lol, I've been too lazy to comment on DA for a while. I still look, though. D
Even for practice, this is eye-catching. >: I always love your work, Denny. Maruth seems like a pretty cool character -- too bad I never got to see him much. xD

Wow, your practice is way past what I even try for finished.
(PS. Beldos is sexier. *bricked*)

xD; lol..
Fun Fact: In their original world setting both Maruth and Beldos are same race..so was Mollaseth and Balthazar. Thus why they miiiight appear somewhat similar when it comes to the mind-set and sometimes looks >>a;

Maruth! We get to see another side of him---he's not just some dude who goes to play pranks on people--he had a past and well, things didn't go the way he wanted... but, this is a lovely picture sis, it show his two selves that... are one? xD; I love the coloring, the gradient effect is really nice!
Keep it up!

Though most see him as some dude who goes to play pranks on people xDD; he doesn`t mind it if people see him as just that.. like hell he cares >_>a;; you know him.. he enjoys what`s here and now and doesn`t think about tomorrow much.
Thankie sis! xD I should try that colouring more often..its fun though can get boring at some point.

Aw, I always love pictures that show transformation from the past. It looks great and it reminds me of suikoden artbooks! Maruth Artbook would be awesome >>-b
I love how he still has those same icey blue eyes just they went from the dreamer look to a more sad one TT liek reality hit...
He was a cute little prince. He has a heroic and royal looking hair cut XD But his necromancer hair is badass so.. >>-b
Nice job with the colors ^^ They sure make it look like memory/dream or such... very nice choices.
I love Maruth, he's one diverse character alright ^^-b Its nice to see his past!

Well he kinda kept his huge child-like eyes xD;
In his original setting he never really grew up >>a the illusion of his grown-up image was all from the darkness` power..>>a kinda how it is on Eos too.
Thus why the childish behavior ^^a
