Now I'm
tuggin on this line, but I can
never gain any ground.
For the
selfishness I've displayed, there's a
punishment that I've found.

i'm tired.
for the contest at *AnimeVectorArtists . three color palette.
grey value #'s 000000 FFFFFF (uhdur) and red #390B0D. total color count was 6447 with the gradients. that's like four ten-thousandths of the 24 bit 16mil. i think we call that a "swish." *dunk gesture*


a lot of ladies probably won't like this. fuck them. i think it's hot. one of the things that drew me to Greed was that he wasn't SUPER KAWAII GAYBOI HIGHSCHOOL CLUB GEAR BISHOUNEN in every shot. he looks drawn here, worn out. and he is. minutes before his death in Dante's mansion. i'm not -that- old (like over thirty; no offense) but sometimes i like men who are. anyone who knows my original project is probably aware of this. and that i like even stranger things and i don't wanna hear it if you don't like my red-headed Greeds. grey, blue, or brown are sucky black hi's. purple is worse. *spletcchh* except on chick characters.

but here's Greed. Raw Deal was the MBD song i repeated a couple of times when i was finalizing it. posting the lyrics ain't enough... ain't about the lyrics... well a little... but they're not much without the fuckin geet'rs wailin' in the background. i told u i wz addicted D:

full res is available on "Download." yes, the actual full res. i worked pretty small this time around. i remember why i don't do that now. i started at 3:30 AM, finished at six. i don't trace. Greed is property of the rightsholders to the series to which he belongs and i am depciting him face-to-name without permission like i have done many times before. BREAKIN' THE LAWW BREAKIN' THE LAWW.

ref uploaded. it is RITE HEER.

probably thousands! WE should make it our duty to burn that site, if such a thing is possible. How many phsyce's has it burned, how many has it seared into their every waking minds that picture, that horrible picture of Greed and Envy. And what's worse, Greed and ARCHER!! *gags and falls over, starting to twitch* Just wrong!
My friend bri thought of a crack pairing worth noting and laughing over. Greed and Armstrong!

OMG greed and armstrong is actually prety funny. or worse, greed and pinako. they're close the same age right?

they could be like old bikers who go to swinger conventions in the cayman islands and walk around naked. i mean naked greed aibn't so bad, but... pinako... and whats worse, he would be into that...

No worries! When does the contest end? Cos I was thinking of asking :siconstarxade: if I could vectorise her Malik lineart by note Because her lineart has "Colour me!" written all over it! They're brillient! And it'll take me properly a few weeks to complete it.

Considering that I'm in the middle of vectorising her Yami Yugie lineart Still haven't finished it though


But if I couldn't join in the contest, I'll join in the club instead and wait for future contests


Good luck buddy!

I really like this one, strong compostion, and great use of color. The only little thing that bothers me is that it looks like he might have too much hair. Ah, well. That's minor. Nice work.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

sparkpenguin In reply to LindseyWagner [2007-02-20 00:06:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah i used a lot of highlights for it, but most of them are really chunky so it gives off that aire of "too much hair" instead of "very detailed hair." i noticed that while i was adding the lines over the highlights but also considered it minor (and a lot of extra work to rectify what's essentially a one-niter side project)

Well, in all honesty, I'm attracted to manly men...(maybe b/c I'm a man....><, lol)

Anyway...holy hell, you did that with only three colors? *whistles* Jumping Jebus girl, that is amazing. To think that level of detail could be accomplished with three colors....that is something to be proud of. Massive detail in minimalism is always a sight to behold.

More impressive work, and long live men whose testicles actually dropped *hooray*!

"one of the things that drew me to Greed was that he wasn't SUPER KAWAII GAYBOI HIGHSCHOOL CLUB GEAR BISHOUNEN in every shot."

I totally agree with that. For one, bishies just aren't my style. They're kinda annoying and a way too feminine. >_<;

And, wow, this is amazing. Three color palette? Sheesh, sounds hard, but you pulled it off amazingly well. And I love all the details in his hair, too. ^_^
