Description This is the 60k kiriban drawing awarded to these amazing people: =witchi1976 and ~dexteritza who both caught it, and also *Coco-zutarafan who caught it at 60,001.

I spent some time on DA exploring self-portraits/cosplay photography from deviants, instead of the usual celebrity, to find a new inspiration.

Both models are the same person, the gorgeous *yuegene . She cosplayed L, but I changed her "DOLLS" photo slightly to become Light - it wasn't planned at first, as I felt like drawing both her photos anyhow.

I'm aware that Light's hair is meant to be brown, and I still need to improve on shading.

Was inspired by constantly seeing Death Note fanart from ~sushihase , ~Marghe-chan and ~Dimaa .

Amazing.
And I know I shouldn't always talk about the shading, but it just has to be said: It's great, really smooth and detailed and everything *_*
I'm impressed by the way you drew the hand, it looks absolutely realistic!
Oh and the hair is so detailed

Yeah, the Death Note series has "died down" a bit, so not much excitement anymore.

Many thanks, hon. I always appreciate your comments!

that is a detailed hand. <3

i don't really like light's clothes that much, i feel like he wears more formal shirts than polos

hedspace77 In reply to TASKMSG-Ayu [2010-06-28 21:10:24 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you think so, hands are most enjoyable/challenging to draw

Maybe it's the strange choice of colours for his clothes. But the shirts make Light sexy and authoritative. ;D

furawatchi23 [2010-04-14 00:10:51 +0000 UTC]

I immediately recognized them as Light and L. I'm not into anime, but Death Note is actually my favourite one.

I love the smooth shading. These faces are perfect realistic versions of the characters. I like how you made them more masculine, but still captured L and Light's characteristics.

The detail and texture of L's hair is pretty awesome, and greasy (lol, not in a bad way ). Awesome work. The shading on the hand, lips, and both of their is done so delicately.

Oh, and I LOVE the swirls!
