Description
My realistic take on Killy from Tsutomu Nihei's manga series, BLAME! He's more closely aligned to his manga aesthetic than the Netflix anime, since I really like his appearance from the manga.

I haven't painted anything digitally in a long time, so this is a welcome result due to a lot of trial and error, re-painting, and tons of staring at my face in the mirror to understand light and shadow and the facial landmarks when lit. Pretty happy with it, as Killy looks very close to how I'd see him if he was real.

Note: Re-uploaded the picture. It was showing up super dark on my tablet, so I checked on my work computer during lunch today and it had the same issue. I adjusted the lighting to match what I see on my laptop (which is the computer I used while painting this).

Painted in openCanvas.
