Description
More Deep Dive fanart! A picture of when Riku lost to [spoiler].More Riku fanart, yes. Sigh. I fangirl him very much. I miss the days when I could go babble in an AIM chatroom with a bunch of other fans! Feed each other's tendancies in a vicious, cannibalistic cycle.
I drew it on openCanvas and moved it to Photoshop to color. When coloring, realized the color sceme was very reminicent of that one picture from Loveless (it's the blue-green/purple hair shading combo). But I love blues/greens/purples together...!
oC is very nice for smooth lineart, but I'm not comfortable/familiar with coloring in the program and I prefer all the options in PS. But I tried to color it in oC style, or what I think is oC style... It has a more painterly effect than Photoshop, which I adore. I WISH I knew how to use Corel Painter, though, because I love the "authentic" feel to them. Anyone know of a good Corel Painter beginner's tutorial?
