Artist's Comments

Gah... I took a lot longer than I should have on this.

Okay. Description. Well, I decided I should get better at pencilling real life stuff, due to inspiration from several amazing dA Greats, the first that springs to mind being *nichol. If you haven't seen her stuff, I suggest you go now, her tutorial also helped me to draw that lip. I like that lip.

Sooo... I found a picture. Bloody low-res thing it was. Damnit. THEN I decided to use a4 paper and I thought "Oh, for an added challenge, lets ONLY USE AN HB PENCIL". Whatever.

STUPID BRAIN.

PS: Critique is accepted thankfully as long as it is constructive. Comments will always be replied to and favourites thanked!



EDIT; Thanks to some constructive criticism from ~geurge I'm resubmitting this with a plain background. I reckon it's a billion times better, so cheers!

EDIT NUMERO 2; Some lovely people on dA told me that this guy's Ruki from the Gazette. Why didn't I know that? I KNOW the Gazette. Gosh and darn it.

EDITO 3; Blimey. 136 comments, 57 favourites, 1500 views and counting! I'm bloody honoured, is all I can say. <3

EDIT FOUR: 151 comments, 89 favs and 2483 views. I have to say, this is astounding. Thank you all so much for taking the time to click and/or say lovely things! You're all beautiful. <3

We are our own greatest critics, the worst insults come from those of ourselves.

I know you do, Rebecca, I know you do. Because I am so freaking awesome. Awesome enough to rule the world. Awesome enough to own my own taco restaurant. I'm just THAT cool.

But not really. HOW I WISH I WAS.

Thank you for the kind compliment.

Awww that's so sweet, thank you very much for the lovely comment! :hug:

Well... it's hard to explain how to do it. It's probably easier for you to just stare at something for ages, then it'll come to you. That's what happened to me! I guess if it makes things easier, you could measure a few things out, or trace the basic shapes... I really don't know. I'LL PROBABLY NEVER BE ABLE TO DO IT AGAIN. xD Either way, anyone can do it if they set their mind to it (and have a few hours to spare).

LYRICS TIME.

See me in the headlines, manipulate your simple minds. Put your hands up in praise. I'm your God and YOUR MY SLAVES. PEOPLE HATE ME.

I needed to get that off of my chest. Yet again, I'm sorry, you are the poor prey for my rantage... And the lyrics are just there cause I love them. No one's really my slave. Apart from ~Nimrod-Ellansee. She definately is.

SHUT UP NOW SHAWNEE.

And thanks again!
