Description
This one is Abdalla and his alter-ego Dallas
they're both =RavynCrescent 's characters.Reflections are so hard to draw xD'' I'm never sure if they look like random people popping up from the other side of the glass or actual reflections... For this, I'm really sorry if I messed up the proportions ;n;~ I hope you like it anyway!!!
I'm happy with the coloring, though... I've always prefered soft coloring over cell-shading ;u;

Reflections have always been my worst enemy, but you do them fantastically! (I have this trouble with not being about to draw the same character twice and have them look the same.)
The only issue I noticed was that Dallas's dogtags were like...HUGE! coompared to Abdalla's, but that may have been purposeful for all I know.
I love the soft colouring and texture; it reminds me of watercolours.

Dallas's are larger because he alters them. Abdalla controls metal, reforms it. Dallas is... well, Abdalla. They're the same person, not in a multiple personality sort of way, more of a "I wish I was more like you" sort of way. When Abdalla is playing as Dallas, the tags grow because they have toxin symbols on them... which, sadly, were not drawn XD would have made more sense if they reflected that! He stretches and distorts the engraved symbols to show he's stretching the limits of himself. Hope that explained it at all XD his tags should have his name, and the Toxic warning symbol on one side, skull and cross bones on the other. For Dallas, the skull goes a "joker face" type of thing.

the second mirror picture 
you got into drawing mirrors? xD
yeah, but his reflection looks cool though
I reckon you did great
but, you said something about 'soft coloring and cell-shading' like, what's the difference?
I don't really get what cell-shading means and all D:
is it a different way to colour?
I'm sorry but I really don't know what it is! :hides:
and I love how they look the same, yet different

haha nah, it's my commissioners the ones who are into mirrors it seems xD~ I just draw what I'm told xD lol
thanks!! ^^
well, cell-shading is more anime-like.. with solid colors and heavy shades.. there's also soft cell-shading, like those sim date games' cg illustrations, this is more like the latter, but I like adding textures to make it look a bit different ^3^ or I try~ lol

I love it! Ha! It's so perfect! His expression is wonderful. The calm, monotone expression he's forced to live with, parallel to the eccentric "Come on! You know you wanna go play!" expression of the personality he wished he had.
Also soo wonderful! And the alchemy symbols are perfect on his belt and boots!

Ooh, very nicely done! I like the mirror reflection, and I think it was well done.
