Description This is my first finished "seriously" colored piece. Surprisingly, I'm actually very happy with this, for once... (yes, yes Riku *gasp* ) There's are a few things I'd change if I weren't so lazy, though if I talk about it Riku will whine at me. I'll upload the original next (I put a cool purple layer over all of it, and the snake skeleton in the background.... I figured snakes and bones were pretty fitting.... besides, it looks cool ).

Kimimaro © by Masashi Kishimoto
Lineart © Shichinin-tai
Snake skeleton pictues © whoever took them
Coloring by me

Check out the original by here: [link]

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS GREATLY APRECIATED. I NEED IT. BADLY.


PS: should I make the eye-shinies more angular? he doesn't look.... "fierce" enough. I think it would really help. Also, I might submit another version where there's more contrast in Kimimaro. He looks too flat in my opinion... especially the hair )

PPS: The title literally means Uroboros's Skeleton, or Skeleton of Uroboros. Uroboros is that emblem where a serpent eats its own tail. I would have just used Hebi (Snake), but it sounds too stupid yeah, my priorities make so much sense

If you read all of this, wow, I applaud you... I also pity you slightly. Lol, jk.

uh.... *has to go check date* *checks when you wrote this message because I'm always a procrastinator with my DA messages* two... three days.... not long

thanks yeah, I guess he does look a bit stiff (I didn't do the lineart, though the lineart is better than what I can do in a lot of aspects )

thanks (his name is kimimaro from the show that you don't like, lol it was one of the few clean, hi-res, relatively easy-to-color linearts that I could find in under 10 minutes (I had to account for my short attention span ))

YOUR HAPPY WITH IT??? I applaud you! Tis amazing! I was about to say it didn't look like your drawing style, but then I read the paragraph I love it. Seriously. I do. Kimimaro is probably my favorite character, if I say much more, you'll murder me >_< great job coloring it! Its great!

Really like the fale shine of his skin!

Btw: maybe there could be more shadow in his eyes... I'm not shure what these dots are, but to my opinion they don't fit in relation to his forehead. If they're flat on his skin they should fit with the shadows of it. If they are "higher" dots they could have more highlights and shadows to seem more "round"...

Sorry, don' want to hurt your feelings. I really like the strange expression of the picture!

Xaite In reply to Schneeauge [2008-03-22 14:26:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh, no, don't worry about hurting my feelings! I love criticism it helps me get better. I agree with the eyes (I think I need some more dramatic shadowing altogether, too). The dots are paint. I might shade them more to fit with the shadows better... Thankyou!

You're welcome!

Some people just think that critique is a personal blame, so I'm carefull in giving one... *g*

incredible, really great ^^

well, as for constructive criticism, the shoulders need to be broader, seeing as kimimaro is male, and most males have broader shoulders than female
