Description A Light Jak pic I started sketching in the early hours of this morning (after I finished the Ratchet commission) but never inked or coloured until today.

Truthfully, I was going to do it in markers, and those twiny twig-boarder things were going to have all these colours in them like a church's stained-glass window, but for one - The simple Dark was working better, since Jak's blue/light glow is already very dominating...and, it wouldn't have looked as good with the coloured pencil.

Yup. This pic is 100% colour pencil 'I'm-killing-the-paper-like-this' love. I just wanted to go back to the days of being a kid, when these were the only media I really used.

I remember those days. When it was just so easy to pick up a pencil, run a few strokes of blue over him, and call it a day. Ah, sweet, innocent kiddie drawings. After working on this for a bit, I suddenly wished that I was young enough to get away with that again.

Yeah, so given the media I tend to work with more, I could have got a MUCH more interesting/different (dare I say it...better?) result if I had used markers, or markers in combo with the pencils, but I wanted to give it a go. And I'm glad I did. But for the future, Markers are still my babies *huggles em tight*

Dun ask about the white dots. Sparklies gone wrong. Now he looks like he's in the snow! Ho-well! I could make up excuses for the legs, but there's no point. messed up with inking. He's running.

Okay. It took me over ten days to finally get around to it, during which time you were probably wondering at my blatant abuse of you through lack of comments on such beautiful work, but Im here.

*ahem* -_-

0_____________0 WOW. WOWOWOW. *points and just SHRIEKS* Holy mother of GOD, LEIK W0w!!! >o< THIS IS SO AMAZING!! Okee, Light Jak's interpretation REALLLY varies from person to person, I've realized, but this absolutely rawks my socks 0.0 No, truly. *GLOMPS AND STEEEEEAALLZ* ^o^=!! EEK! How you've managed to do the pupiless eyes so perfectly, and JEEBUS he looks so ANGRY but sekkasay- *hit by Daxter* Ow! ... I'LL STILL PAY ATTENTION TO -YOU- FOR FO'EBBA, YA BIG GOOF, Im just admiring the sekz-ality of your buddy! LAY OFF AND GIVE JAK SOME TIME IN THE PRETTYBOI!LIMELIGHT! ... *growl* -_- Anyways. I really, reeeeally love dis 0_0 *gooshes* I can tell you spent forever on it, and it really shows! The bordering is just wonderful, and the contrast between the icy blues and the warmth of the 'branches' is just POIFECT ^o^ Expression, pose, coloring, teh wittle white dotsies, EVERYTHING. SO an instant favie (had I remembered to comment on it when it first came out, I KNEW I SHOULDNTVE DELETED ALL MY MESSAGES! ;o;~) mah sis and ALL her enviable talents!

Meep!



Nicki! Chu is so sweet to me! Chu did ney have to go back and comment on teh older ones! Awwww! You lil' sweetheart! *pinches at her furry cheeks and makes cooing sounds* luffs mah sis!

I notice alot of people draw Light Jak in different ways, though I'm happy with what I ended up with...even if it killed about 8 different shades of blue pencils to get to it. XP Heh, Daxxie gets all the attention from us...he needs to learn that he's so darn lucky that he DOES, considering how perfectly built and...PERFECT his best bud is. But then again, We ain't like that! Skinny is sexy if it comes in a cute lil' package with the blue eyes and red hair and all!

*squeee!!!* SO mah Nicki is back again!

Hope to see chu online soon again, mah dear! *smoochkissu* Missed chu!!!

BUT,/b> I DID draw a picture of Goku on my sister's chalkboard (using chalk of course ) a while back, and it was so awesome! It wasn't erased for about a month. Then the stupid maid rubbed it out. Now she's fired.

THIS. IS. THE. COOLEST. THING. EVER.

:: Gulp. :: Only colored pencils? :: Cowers. :: That's amazing! I just recently started using my markers, so it doesn't feel like too long ago that I stopped using colored pencils so much.. But this just tells me that I need to revisit that region and relearn how to use them. BECAUSE THIS IS UBER FANTASTIC. Loving your work so much gives me 2 different emotions--I feel like destroying all my artwork and giving up--or running off to draw. Seeeeeeeeeee your influence? XD

Once again, beautiful lineart backed up with beautiful coloring.

Color Pencils, markers...I use them both and I'm still mastering them, despite the former I have been using for well over my entire lifetime. I don't think it's the quailities of the markers or color pencil matter, just how the artist use them, and you, my friend, have used it quite well. The shading and shadows is what I am most impressed on. It shows I CAN do these stuff in color pencils (one of the reasons mines looks so messy is because I'm too lazy to sharpen my color pencils). While I admit the bubbles make him look underwater and I don't agree with the BG (Sorry, but I don't like the overall brown in there) I cannot deny how wonderfully done this picture is. Truly a masterpiece.

I love how soft everything looks, mainly. Light Jak is a...soft guy. Working with one color is hard, I imagine. I applaud you on that.
I still don't see how you make him look so muscular. I love it. Worth a fave, in my book!

Now that's a perfect image of Light Jak, oh yes indeed. I adore what you did with Jak's arms... the muscles definitely get me everytime. And his Wastelander outfit still looks great--the same textures are still preserved even though it's in a different color tone. Dat's awesome. Also kudos to what you did with his hair color. X3 It looks very fitting, and a byootiful mix of colors! Uber incredible job. I favie, indeed.

I can admit that Light Jak is seen to be so pretty, and the simplistic blue tones help to add a strong amount of light in the darkness. The simplistic color scheme also helps to give in a stronger emphasis on the foreground, and should do well to fit for all the Jak fans out there. ^^

(problem is, there's too many of them - we need just as much love for the other chars, like Daxter, Sig, Erol and all that o.O ok, forget what I said )
