Description
---FULL VIEW IS RECOMMENDED---It's been 41 weeks since my last picture of Kenshin on DA. Hopefully I have improved since then.
The lighting was really fun to draw... even though it didn't turn out good. =_=; I'm thankful Kenshin -sort of- looks 3D. Or more like 2.5D....
This picture was partly inspired by the FF: Advent Children movie. I don't normally draw such dimensional characters.
Don't ask about the title. I guess it goes with the whole... morning atmosphere. And or some reason I am really optimistic today XD I guess... that's good? Haven't been optimistic for a long time. It's becoming out of character. =_=;
The hair, originally looked really stiff, so I added extra strands and lighting to make it a bit more "alive". Thus the whole "slightly windy" effect.
Damnit, I wish I had a printer.
I'm so happy.
Anyways.

I love Rounin Kenshin, especially the director's cut. That was bloody and intense.

Thank you so much
I can't draw him very well anymore ;_; He looks too much... my style, you know? u_u
Where's the quote from in your signature? The positive thinking one. I've seen it before, I can't recall where... ;

I donno where it came from first. I have seen it on a t-shirt and a bumber sticker, and I have seen it in a classroom.
I can see where you are comming from, and I think it is great when people reinvent the appearance of a character in their own style... if you are suggesting that people wont recognize him... ? Well, great pic. ^^

I always will. I could swear that I will never make another Kenshin piture and I will not be able to resist my self. I'm just glad people don't get tired of it. ^^ I'm currently working on one... or two or... anyway. Thank you!
I take no offense, I know you didn't mean that, I was just goofing. Like I said, don't be so paranoid. lol.

Thank you so much
The face was actually the easiest and fastest thing to draw... >> I sketched it on OpenCanvas and then resized it and gradually extended the picture XD.

kenshin!! yeah.. that`s cool, i really like the background, don`t know what`s your problem..
i like his face, it is not typical kenshin-style but still looks very pretty, and the hair is cool, i once drew him myself and the worst thing was that orange hair..
