I thought I would take a little break from working on the first of my projects for WereDragon Magazine,and while on said break, I thought I would submit a few things before going back work. And I see that there is now an 'Original Characters' catagory on DA. It's about damned time!
I wanted play around with more a monochromatic colour scheme as well as draw Akumu's 'nommy hands' (as *screamin-jazzy calls them) in full detail. I also wanted to do a slightly dreamy/ghostly piece. So, using a picture of musician Tony Kakko (of Sonata Arctica and Northern Kings) as a pose reference, I played around with those ideas and this is what came of it, and I really love how it came out.
I swear, Akumu's facial structure is starting to resemble mine (albeit with a smaller forehead and poutier lips as opposed to my large forehead and thin lips). That's...just a little bit disturbing I have to admit. Oh well. That just makes him creepier, amiright?
Akumu's gonna get you!

Hey, thanks. The 'urple' in his hair was supposed to be a bluish colour, but looks a bit indigo, doesn't it.

Yay for Original Character Category!!! <3
The monocromatic is awesome! I love it! Especially how his green eyes stands up from the whole pic being this, essencially, a monocromy. Good work!!

I concur. DA needed that for a long, LONG time.
Heh. I wanted to do something monochromatic while playing with colour theory, and AKumu was the perfect candidate for such a little experiment.
Akumu's eyes are scary.

Yus~
You can do another but instead of greys, you can use some color, too. Like, all red, purple or green. 8D
