Description
Let's take a trip ALL the way back to February 22nd of the '06. I doodled this at my podium (as loss prevention at a popular bookstore) with a ballpoint pen on the back of a police report. >>> [link]Now let's fast forward to now... No longer stuck in the doldrums of retail, now reveling in the freedom of the games industry, I just had to color something and didn't feel like drawing. So I decided to take a new approach to coloring and try it out on this guy. This image was done just with flat colors, then using only a white or black brush with the layer settings "Overlay" and "Soft Light" (two of my favorites).
I then went in and did a little gradient and some strategic deleting to get the rest of the effect (all the while only using overlay and soft light). So I guess that makes this description an impromptu tutorial of sorts. Albeit a pretty shoddy one, hehe.
Hope you get a kick outta him!

I like the colouring style, but I love the overall design of the armour and especially the little details. The face mask is kinda oni, but lke the fact it isn't a full mask.

He was slightly inspired by an Oni mask but with some slight touches from other cultures in there.
Glad you like it!

That sounds sort of hard to color like that, but I suck at picking colors for shading, so it would be better on me!
It almost looks like you did it with coloring pencils. Your character is awesome, as always. <3 Hope you find a name for him.

It's actually really easy. I wouldn't use it for everything (I usually use it to add touches in my regular paintings) but it is a pretty decent cell look. Monochromatic FTW!
Thanks, little lady!
