Description Finally I submit something!!! Sorry for the long pause, but I'm really proud of this one, so I hope you guys like it too! This is Allen Walker from the D.Gray-man manga, I love him so ^_^ Originally sketched on paper, scanned then coloured and whatnot in photoshop. Any friendly crits are welcome. Also, he's my newest crossplay subject X3 I can't wait to make his arm...

Glad to hear you became a fan! Thank you very much for the fav and comment. I think I've been stuck at chapter 85 for a while...last time I downloaded a new chapter my computer crashed and had to be reformatted. .__.

Aiyaiyai, that sucks. If you want, I could give you a link to a site that I watch stuff on which doesn't give me viruses.

Lol, I just started reading hte manga (it's just come out in france><, and I'm in love with Allen already XD
ANyway, very nice expression, and I like the coloring too.
I hope you don't mind if I fave^^

Naniel In reply to Littlelinor [2006-12-30 04:30:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for the comment and the fave! Why would I mind if you fave? I'm happy that you like it. I love the manga...it's got a distinct style, which is something I try to look for in manga since there are a lot of styles that are similar or feed of off each other. Allen's cool, though...it's hard not to love him! XD

Littlelinor In reply to Naniel [2006-12-31 11:33:35 +0000 UTC]

Lol, it's VERY hard not to love him. I love Komui even more, though, for some reason...
And yeah, the manga has an original style, and I fell in love with it straight away XD
Well, fave I did^^

I really like how much Allen cares about everyone, even people who give him trouble *coughKandacough*. But yes, long live D.Gray-man! XD

Littlelinor In reply to Naniel [2007-01-02 14:17:37 +0000 UTC]

Lol, he's so nice with everyone that the fangirls feel the need to pait him up with every single char in D Gray-man... the only one I haven't seen yet is Allen x Komui (scary thought ><
And by the way, there are no good pics of Komui out there... It's not fair. He needs fanglril love too. I mean, he's sexy too, and he's funny.
I should advertise him XD

Naniel In reply to Littlelinor [2007-01-06 02:42:22 +0000 UTC]

Haha, you should! Now you've got me thinking of doing a Komui pic for you. I don't really see why people pair characters up with almost everybody...it's probably never going to happen, so why? I don't understand the mindset...heh, I'm not that much of a fangirl.

Littlelinor In reply to Naniel [2007-01-06 13:22:29 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I like taking a pairing that no one thought about, but that's possible, and put them together, but when I do, it's something like 100 pages long XD. It takes time to develop, and you need special circumstances to make it work...


And thanks so much if you do that Komui pic! Make him sexy, there are too many chibi/humour pics of him out there... or make him sexy AND funny^^

I haven't read much of d.gray-man, only about 2 chapters or so but wow this is pretty. Especially the detail above his eye, and the water effect is beautiful too. I take it the hand submerged was the hand he lost?? I could be all wrong.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Naniel In reply to LastCetra [2006-12-17 05:31:12 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, thank you. D.Gray-man is an awesome manga...I really love it. The style is really nice, it has its own unique flare to it that you just don't see too much in Japanese comics these days. I think I could've done a better job on the ripples, but they're ok as they are now. As for the hand, I kind of intended it to be like the spirits bound to the Akuma that he's always trying to reach and protect, but his lost hand could work too, whatever you prefer.

LastCetra In reply to Naniel [2006-12-17 16:49:07 +0000 UTC]

No, I think the ripples are nice cause as they go outward they blur slightly, which I like a lot. And I guess I was all wrong about the hand, lol. I need to read it more...

Oh that is wicked, Karen!
I love how he's seated on the moon and I also really like the concept behind the reflection. :3 It's also a little eerie but in such a beautiful way.
Do show us when you're done the hand, sounds like a tricky but fun job. :3

Nice colouring... I remember when this was just a sketch on lined paper. How'd you get rid of the lines?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Naniel In reply to AlbinoAngstbucket [2005-09-30 23:37:38 +0000 UTC]

With lots and lots of patience... x_x just cleaning up the sketch made me want to kick something. I had to erase all the lines and crapy stuff left on by the scanner at least three times...Next time I'm going to make the lines darker or actually ink the pic...

AlbinoAngstbucket In reply to Naniel [2005-10-01 01:05:33 +0000 UTC]

Erasing the lines, huh? I used to do that... I think I told you about it on the phone once, haha. I kind of found an easier way to sort of get rid of some of the line-age, but it still needs a little cleaning after. Best results if your lineart's dark.

D-Gray Man Manga? Sounds interesting.....
That and the picture looks so cool XD I love the colours and the sleeping expression on his face ^^
The hand looks really amazing as well. Can't imagine THAT being easy to drag around though Oo

Naniel In reply to Thrasirshall [2005-09-30 23:35:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ^_^ The manga is really good, I definately recommend that you read it! Although, the site that I download it from is currently out of bandwidth, but I can send you the files that I've got if you want to read them, currently at chapter 61 I wanted the colours to be really monotone except for the glowyness, and I think I pulled it off, so I'm really happy with the pic (although I wish the bottom balanced a bit more with the top). As for the hand, I think I'll make it into something like a plush thing that will (hopefully) be light and easy to carry around...also, I don't think I'll have any problems with security at a convention with this one. But I really can't wait to make it!

Thrasirshall In reply to Naniel [2005-10-09 01:18:51 +0000 UTC]

Ooo - please send the manga to me if you can. I'd really appreciate that. Which reminds me - would you like a copy of Advent Children and Last Order? I can send them to you by post. Just give me your address in Notes and I'll send you a CD with them on it.
As for the pic - I can understand where your coming from with the colours. However, I think what you've done is still pretty good. Its both warm and yet strangely.... mysterious at the same time - I get a lot of different feelings when I look at that picture actually. The hand in the water really.... enstranges me actually, which is pretty cool too.
Anywho - lemme know 'bout AC and LO whenever you want.

I'll send you the manga as soon as I can ^_^ As for AC and Last Order...I've downloaded them already but thank you very much for the offer!! Actually, I wanted to ask if you had the Raiden figurine that ~albinoangstbucket and I were looking for, cuz we both have them now and I wanted to send one to you. When you read the manga, the pic will become clearer...or at least, it should You can download all of the other chapters that come out from here [link] I'll send you the file in a note k?

Thrasirshall In reply to Naniel [2005-10-12 12:27:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much ^^ I got your note alright.
I'll have to find someplace with cheap prices to spend 2 and a half hours downloading the manga as I only have ISDN at home.
However, I did think about just downloading chapter by chapter....don't think my pendrive has enough memory....

I'm glad you got it ^_^ Although, I have no idea how long the link will stay up cuz those hosting servers tend to have short waiting periods so it might expire...if that happens, it might just be easier for me to burn it onto a cd for you and send it, you shouldn't have to pay money just to download it! >.<

Thrasirshall In reply to Naniel [2005-10-13 12:10:04 +0000 UTC]
