Description
Alucard from Hellsing. OpenCanvas 3 + Photoshop touch up. Don't know how long this took...Tried a different painting method on this one. Started with black, then add lighting to different parts, did't use any base color. All done on one layer, except the hair. Grr, but now it seems rather empty. :/ Not what I hoped... Gahhhhhhhhhh
Edit: minor touch up... make me feel slightly better about this painting now. but the bg is still a killer. T_T

sweet lighting--I think the different technique paid off. If you're unhappy with the background, what if you just cropped some of it out?

I dont think cropping would work. I'm happy with the composition. It's the big void in the part between the cape and his head bothers me. it just feels empty, not solid enough.

Whoa, Alucard looks bad ass. Like he's just spotted some filthy mongrel vampire over his shoulder and he's giving him the underarm hand cannon blasting.

Something odd about the spacing.... hm.
Nice coloring. Alucard is awesome (though I prefer him sans hat and glasses... more his creepy old re-re-revived self.

Yay for digital art! XD. Good lineart plus good coloring plus soon (perhaps) to be good spacing equals auto-fav. Better be darn good to deserve my fav... now beg for it XD. Sigh... I need to sleep.... I always think I'm funny when oxygen/sleep deprived.

Absolutely beautiful coloring... You also did a superb job maintaining a light source. The minimal light gives it a very creepy feel

Isn't that suck? I mean it felt like our minds are restricted by our hands. T_T It's sad... And not to mention I felt it's not matching the image b/c I'm lazy. Maybe I'll beat myself up and force myself to do a nice bg. T_T

Thanks. But i still feel this whole thing lack something. Especially since I didnt do the bg the way I hoped it to be. T_T *bites the painting.. grrr*
Anyway, you should watch the anime. it's really cool. XD bloody vampire coolish. Although the story line is a bit forced, since I heard the production was forced to cut short. I'm trying to read the manga see if there's anything different.
