Description Mahou Sensei Negima
Negi Springfield
character own and created by: Ken Akamatsu
vector trace and coloured by: LBC

I dunno about the rest but I kinda like the idea of Negi following
Evangelines footsteps than Nagi's. Now his looking more like
the Dark Evangeline's apprentice. I use a more redish skin tone
cause it looks cooler compared to using a shadowed tone.

The original pic didn't have the tatoos yet. I added it up cause I
really like it plus it mesh well with the topless look. I didn't
have any plans for this one I was actually just fiddling around
and ended up looking wicked.

Expect the Ako fanart soon

Can you do an art sketch of Negi's dark tattoos? It's hard to find a good reference pic, and I'm thinking of getting something similar done.

And I said it before, but I still love this picture ^_^

This has become one of my favorite pictures of all time! If you don't mind, can I use this picture for my selfish reasons? Like the background of my youtube page and make an avatar on it? I'll be sure to give credit where it's due if you perfer.

Thanks. I'm a huge Negima fan. Like serously huge. There are other pics that I would like colored of Dark Negi too(and the rest of the class). Can you tell me where you got the tutorial for this, or any tips you can give me?

I'm pretty adept at photoshop. Make sigs and backgrounds as a hobby.

I didn't use a tut, I was just fiddling with it and ended up looking pretty wicked. Tips?? well just do lots of it to get used to it. If you check my earliest works its pretty rough compared to now.

It took me sometime and lots of practice to get my colouring style up to my recent works. There tons of tut available on the resource section that you shoould check out on vectors and styles of shading that would help.

Well actually, I doubt you have enough time to teach someone you don't know off the internet something that probably takes you a couple hours to do. Can you at least tell me where you learned how to vector and color from?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

simplicitybc2000 In reply to Danexedas [2008-07-27 05:13:06 +0000 UTC]

I learned by trial and error I'm not very good and following directions. I learned how to do it by experience in doing lots of it and trying new stuff in each piece I do.

Learning how to vector again check the resource section or even the PS adobe help section on vectors.
As for shading just look at others on how they shade theirs and try it out. Eventually, you find your own style and technique.

Negi and Nagi

Negi and Eva

Negi

"He wishes to be as powerful and feared like his master and the greatest of heroes like his father. However, he follows his own path, and he abides by his own rules."

Krad45 [2008-07-13 21:07:35 +0000 UTC]

Awesome. I like how Negi chose this power instead of light. In my opinion it sometimes becomes overused or you see the same events when the hero of an anime chooses light

aww negi negi turned all dark and creepy emo boy, yay finally hes not the stupid naive boy wanting to be just like his dad, hooray for dark character growth and by the way great lighting and the tone goes well with everything maybe the light in the hand should be less translucent and i think a darker toning would be better but thats only my pinion

NightDranzer In reply to cain75 [2008-07-18 17:52:06 +0000 UTC]

He still plans to be like his dad and his master, but like he said, he wants to do it by following his own path, not be a copy of others. About GODDAMN TIME he realized it. I bet he can become far greater than his father or Eva, I mean, Light and Dark in the same pack, ass-owning everyone?
