Description [EDIT: Wow years later I look at this again and think, "Meh, the colors are so dull." So I did a minor tweak and YAY looks so much better now I usually don't go back to my old works, but I kinda liked this one, soooooo......]



Sorry, couldn't think of a title

Akabane Kuroudo from Getbackers. I actually don't watch Getbackers; I just saw one episode and he was in it, and I instantly liked the character! More than the way he looks, I think I love him for the way he talks and smiles ^^

Just wanted to do a bit of darker art. My stuff is so annoyingly cheery lately I'm afraid I'm irritating people, hahaha

I know his original name is Kurodo (Claude) Akabane, but there's a lot o fans that call him Doctor Jackal, I call him either name because it honestly doesn't matter; he's still Aka-chan!!

*ahem* anyways, enough of my side-yappings.. (hope you don't mind an over-excited fangirl that scatters about Kurodo @.@)

I finally declare that Akabane is now my personal favorite on Getbackers, I mean c'mon, psychotic-courteous-demonic-tease; what more could any fangirl ask for??? !! I honestly see no limit to Dr. Jackal motivating ways, when I first heard his voice, my fangirl-ism kicked and I screamed like any obsessed person would ('cuz Aka-chan is just that damn good *cackles* X3~), of course the Japanese version; I fear they'll make the English version ugly in ruins @_@;; hence taking away the pretty-ness of Jackal and Midou, which is never a good thing to happen.. XP even though this pairing has nothing to do with the GB story, I honestly think Akabane X Ban is shou kawaii, and I'd beg anyone to rp a scene of them both with me online *_*!!! <-- roleplayer, bwah! n.n

The cracks that blend with the picture perfectly, nothing could be adjusted because it's already at its highest awesome-ness level, the blood doused within the window sparks attention with the ooze, when I first looked at this, I honestly put my fingers on the full screen pic and thought it was real for just a split second (yea I know, I'm weird but it's the truth n.n), crazy no? it defenitely sets the window theme the different shades of black in this piccie, some lighter and darker areas, it pefects Jackal's theme *.* the scalpel goth (my nickname for 'im :3) is overall beyond priceless and this is most likely the best Kurodo Akabane fanart I have seen yet and shall be for a very long time ^__________^

PS: It's weird, but whenever Aka-chan's hat is removed his hair has strands upwards; wouldn't his hair be down or something?? o.o;;

~ Akabane: This is my secret window kids... X3~!

Wow, wonderful. I am appalled by the intensity of this piece.. You really captured the dark essence that is Jackal. Great work, keep it up.

<3 A friend of mine showed me this. Beautiful, beautiful work. I haven't seen such a lovely - and rather creepy - piece done for Akabane so long.

Again, terrific work!

"If I were gonna be murdered, I'd really really really like him to kill me.."
LOL!!!!! How romantic... I think all his fangirls feel the same..twisted way. There's no hope for us. O_o WHO NEEDS IT WHEN YA CAN HAVE AKABANE-SAAAAN?!! *calms down a little aka breathes into a paper bag* This is so friggin beautiful, love it to death.

to you!!! I haven't seen this series but I heard it's good

to that first guy that commented~ It really irks me when people do that (I got one person that simply "rated" my art with stars- no explanation or nothing x_x )

yapi In reply to tira-chan [2004-03-18 06:07:18 +0000 UTC]

Uh, I know, it annoyed me too. But I eventually got him to apologize (whether sincere or not, at least I have it in writing, ehehe), so it's all good

Really, I don't see why people have to go hating on those who like stuff that they don't They can just choose not to look at the friggin' deviation, instead of wasting both our time. Bleh

I know x_X I know I avoid stuff I don't like. I'm not a big DBZ fan, hence I avoid fanart of said series, same for sailor moon and other stuff. I'll comment if I like it

I've never seen the anime, but I've seen pictures of this dude around. He's pretty cool.

This is great - the way you pulled off the shattered glass is particularely fab. How'd you do it? o.o

yapi In reply to amsel [2004-03-17 05:09:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh, the shattered glass was actually easy! What I did was that instead of drawing the cracks on the drawing itself, I drew it on a separate piece of paper then just put it over the drawing in a new layer. That way it's easier to render it

Hehe thanks ^^ Someone DID compare Dr. Jackal to Dr. Lecter in one webpage. I agree, except Jackal is much sexier. But yes, they are both very refined, use polite speech, very poised, and quite proper. I luuurv them both

Pero mas guapo si Akabane, so mas love ko siya

Akabane creeps me out. @__@ I think it's his slow, quiet way of talking and the way he looks at people. But I love love love the way you render glass. I think this pose and angle fit him perfectly.

You know, instead of putting down someone you don't like, how about you trying praising someone you DO like? People waste too much time on negativity.

To be [constructively] criticized on my artwork is one thing, to be criticized for liking something that you don't is low.

So please just move on, I don't need this on my DA account *rolls eyes*
