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?

I'm referring my Riku-fangirl friend to you, because I do believe she would spend hours drooling over your work. I love it! Love the dramatic effect you've created and how well you captured it! Beautiful!

Ouch. I'm no pro either, but I can get around the program. Exactly what can you not understand about it? It's not too different from Photohop. It keeps the layer system, it just allows for more natural brush effects. There's not too much to misunderstand.

Nyuu, Riku..!! >w<
Everyone gotta love him in his Org. coat. 
I love the perspective you used in here. Pretty well done..!
Hmm, some people I know also preferred OC for lineart-ing. So I guess it has an advantage.
