Description To be honest, I really love attenuated, sharp, anime styles with dynamic inks and sick costumes, so I was totally consumed by RE: Play. This is some fanart that will hopefully get into Volume 2. *crosses fingers*

Wonky perspective and the shading just got worse as I kept working - I'm heading towards a burnout. Wish I had done better, but at least I tried.

Iszak, RE: Play (c) Christy Lijewski,

Wooow. exquisite detail! It doesn't look stiff, or forced. This professional material! The only t hing that seems kind of awkward is his left hand. The fingers seem a bit "I'm not sure where these go". It took a while for me to find it though, so it's definitely something minor. If you ever want to touch this up again as a show-piece, that would be one thing I think you should consider touching up.

I wonder if a guitar that size actually exists.. god knows I have tiny hands, and I think it'd be cool to play guitar.

XD; Lol. My guiter-playing buddy was too busy for me to get a ref photo (that, and I still lack a digital camera DX; ). If I did redo it, I'd probably use him as a ref and then go from there. X3

mewtootim [2007-10-01 03:09:35 +0000 UTC]

Its very awesome! yea, the perspective is a little...different..then usual, but personally think its cool I think I like the scarf the best, its so flow-y and awesome-y ^_^ and I see nothing wrong with the shading at all what-so-ever. Though if I may make a small and very odd observation, his left hand looks a little, too, idk, it looks like he's scratching the strings instead of..uh..plucking..or whatever(?)(has very little clue about any stringed interments T-T)them. ahem, but perhaps having the hand more open? idk, just my odd eye o.0
but anyway, I think it looks awesome!!!!
great job

this seems crisper than your normal work. I like it, makes this very striking.

I cannot type today. It's bothersome.

The hair and scarf are gorgeous, and I like the pure emptiness that the background is, it makes the him stand out more.

Yeah, too bad the book format has to be different. the white space up top adds a lot to the composition, I feel.

Ebonykat In reply to fongmingyun [2007-10-01 00:08:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the extra space adds to the dimensional feel, even if it is a little wonky xD

Darn the book format D':

Solinhild [2007-09-30 22:04:47 +0000 UTC]

The perspective is a little wonky, but I really like the shading. Especially the scarf and the hair. Love the hair. The whole picture just looks so clean. I like his face a lot too. His eyes are pretty. <3

...I have a sneaking suspicion that when I went to the first Matsuricon, I saw Nyanko-chan. >_>;; I believe I may have been sitting like 6 feet away with my friend. XDDD;;

DX Perspectivvveee.... aaah. *dies* Lol. T\hanks. It's done on smooth paper, so that's why it's sharp.

Matsuricon? No idea where that is.

Perspective is hell. On toast. I have issues shading on smooth paper. It's just too... smooth. IT SCARES ME. Bastard paper.

Lol, I can't blame you for that. Only in its second year. TINY con, close to where I used to live in Ohio (aka no where). I went the first year. My first con evahr. <3 It was small, but fun. There were like 4 artist tables. XD

Hell on toast? Hmm./ must be quite burnt, then.

And yeah, smoother paper like.. if there's an inconstency in the texture it SHOWS, SUPER obvious... DX

Huhu damn I'm gonna be shot for saying this but I liked Iszak better before his makeover. T0T *holds clumps of cut hair*

But I really like it and hope it makes it into volume two~ I ran out of time and didn't manage to squeeze inspiration out for an entry. *sad*

fongmingyun In reply to betrayal-and-wisdom [2007-09-30 21:52:17 +0000 UTC]

Lol. I like long-hair Iszak, too, actually. But I bet he prolly kinda smelled cuz he lived in a subway. I think I'll take clean, short-haired Iszak.

I don't know if I can be reproduced because of this grayscale.

Ahaha, i don't think it looks like him, really. Too young. It was a fun challenge, though, trying to cross the manga style over into more volumetric stuff.
