Description I was struggling with this, because I am never good with black colours. I always made them look uninteresting.
I tried my best to make it monochrome but my hand is not listening to me.....

I don't think I have any improvements...nor any new colour changes...aaah must try harderrrrr

I really wanted to put in wayang kulit elements into my drawing, they are....shadow puppets. It's very popular in my country.
After many many months I managed to sit down properly and put it in my drawing YAYYIES.

Mediums : 2B Pencil, Open Canvas 3.03E PLUS, Photoshop CS 2
Caffeines :
BEMANI - SPEEDY CAT (kors k vs StripE Remix)
Yoka Wao - Here My Tragic Tale
ACIDMAN - SLOW RAIN
Utada Hikaru - Addicted to You
Plastic Tree - Honjitsu wa Seiten Nari

Comments and critiques are most welcomed ^^

p.s : The hand was inspired by , she has very beautiful Raevan designs *3*

Once again your layout and overall image design is very attractive and professional-lookin'. You're consistently making your pics colorful and I think that's a good thing.

The only thing that stands out to me is his left arm and hand. I reckon the fingers are too long and it doesn't look like it's comfortably holding that sword. It's probably best that you used a reference for that hand since our attention will be drawn to it. As for his arm, I reckon the forearm area could've been bigger to emphasis the foreshortening.

Nothing much apart from that, maybe the pattern on the inside of his coat could be more obscure. It's very defined atm so it sorta stands out as being patterns layered onto the clothe.

That's all I can perceive, I hope that's relevant.

hmm.. black shades? i don't know... actually, a shiny, leathery effect gives a pic a very dramatic effect.
don't hesitate to make them!

Interesting use of asian elements in the background. Sort of reminds me of buddhist or indian prints. Not sure what the "ai" character is there for. Is it the assassin's name?

Master-Sheron [2007-04-27 04:36:56 +0000 UTC]

hoo that's wonderful...the high/long size you've chosen for this art is nice and everything is done with so much precision and sensibility.
The character is damn cool ...I like the perspective effect you've done and the flowing effect of the hair....then....the background is beautiful,simply.
Very simple, so artistic!

sparkpenguin [2007-04-27 04:36:10 +0000 UTC]

still freakin sweet.

here's an idea. if you want to not struggle with blacks.

draw them how you naturally want to draw them. complete with your watery, acid-trip color rainbow. and then greyscale the image. and re color whatever bothers you too much to leave grey.

TRY IT! i liked your color work at first but it's all i see, i agree and admire with your decision to work better at more muted color schemes. i'd love to give you a bottle of ink wash black and just... see what happened in the absence of any color. you could still rock it hard.

The wayang in the background is amazing! And the word "love" you put in makes me think of an assassin who just killed someone he loves... and now he's wishing her goodbye...

Gorgeous colors!! ^ ^ The background is crazy and confusing but so interesting to look at too! I like his pose and how you designed the clothes and also how you positioned his hair! Great composition~ Your anatomy skills are amazing, and I think how you color is very nice too! I think it's great the way you are but I suppose there is always room for improvement (:

I think the only thing confusing here is his hand ^ ^;; It looks a bit ummm Well, I think it's just the joints of his hand. That's it, if you know what I mean x:
