Description Jesus fuck if I ever see this picture again it'll be too soon. I do love Ryuk, though.

ANYWAY, yes. Fanart. Death Note, obvz. As you can see I've decided to swerve away from what I normally draw and indulge the manga/anime lover in me. Mind you, I stopped watching DN three episodes after L died, not because I loved L (I'm in Light's camp), but because the story became so inane. I mean so.

The ribcage was lovingly ripped off inspired by the prevailing bone theme of the original DN manga artwork. Niiice.

About 45 hours, all in PS CS2.

Omnom Ryuk nom (although ew, colour?!)

It's very neat, and I like the crisp shading a lot, the emphasis with the contrasting squiggles. I can still tell it's done by you (doesn't look very manga!), maybe it's Light's jaw.

Haha, I thought to go a bit whacky with Ryuk's colour scheme, because it's kind of monotonous originally I had block-shaded him in as he should be when I was working on colour placement and found him to be one big blob of dark blues and blacks. Not fun. SO HERE HE IS IN ORANGE! 8D

Thank you, I'm not one for block shading so this was an utter pain, but I like the cleanliness of the result.

Haha, I was wondering if someone would point out the Rzeznikness of Light's facial features

What =Jake1313 said except that I've already 'flamed' you for liking anime and I've already said what =Jake1313 said a few weeks ago. I don't know if what I just said made any sense because my head's a mess since my blood sugar is low but I've already said that as well. TEACH ME HOW TO DRAW, but I've already said that quite a few times before.

tl;dr: Well done!

I know how you like comments so you're getting one here and not on IRC.

Awww, Roiboi I can teach you, but I'll just tell you to draw a lot every day, so not much help I'll be

Does that include thinking about drawing all day?

I'd flame you for liking anime, but you're cool, and *gasp* can actually draw! Therefore your fanart is acceptable.

It aches me that stupid kids have given liking manga/anime a bad name. There are some kick-arse titles out there

And thanks, my dear

Yeah, I don't really hate the manga itself, just the stupid weeaboo fanbase surrounding it.

Then allow me to remind you that every great artist is started as a weabo fanartist.

Uh, not really. I'm fairly certain Mr. Van Gogh wasn't an anime fan.

Well, weeaboo typically refers to an anime fan.

Now see, I know absolutely nothing about Death Note ... but if the Llama likes, then maybe it's worth a look
