Description
Jeez, I don't know when was the last time I had to grapple so much with a drawing. I really just wanted to experiment with a new brush setting in Sai and make a bright colourful painting of good ol' Dirk, but even just getting the sketch to look decent was a real struggle (I'm still not happy about the posing and the composition). And I guess at some point I just completely lost my intuition for which colour combos look good and which don't.Though to be fair, I kind of like the final aesthetics of this picture, even if it's not at all what I had originally intended. I got some inspiration from the vaporwave style and from the anime "No Game No Life", so it's basically rainbow barf all around, lol.

Wow-!! I'm really pleased that you bravely went for so many bright colors in here, from the background to the reflections & shadows even in Dirk's skin tone~ And I also appreciate the foreshortening you worked with on his left arm. Wow, I don't think I've ever worked with drawing strings, in nearly such a complicated way as you've done in this piece!
TvT It's such great work... & *truly* inspiring to me!!!
