Meet Louki/Justin :XD:

This firstly began and still kinda is, Louki, my character from my Manga/Story. But I decided to make it in to Justin which is 's man! I added some glasses, a ponytail and there ya go! ..... So Katie.... You better like this or I swear I'll hurt you! It took so much effort and strength to do!! :cries: Feel pity for me!!

HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY!!!!! :glomp:

Image Details : [link]
Time: 3 Days, 20-25 hours on and off and because of sillyness!
Colour - PS CS2

+++++++++++ Rant + Information:++++++++++++



Oh my god.... *stared soul-less-ly*

I'm going to take a break from drawing now! I mean, this is the longest time I've ever taken to do a picture!
3DAYS to be exact and around 25 hours on and off spread through them! The worst past is that I began colouring this one way and then though 'scrap that I'm starting again' so that was like 5-6 hours I just threw away. >.< *curses* Then I did the line art in Flash so then spent another 5 hours just making it thin in Photoshop... I should have just done it IN photoshop! -moron!-

Anyway... I wanted to do more realistic art like I see some wonderfully talented people on DA produce... So that annoying little voice in my head (which will be shot by me in a moment) decided to say 'hell yeah, let's try and do some colouring like that' .... Why oh why did I listen?!

I did this with no tutorials and no reference or anything! So I'm bloody well proud! I hate light sources too so that was a first too! And the detail! .... I could have done some more detail but really I could not do any more! My eyes hurt and every limb in my body too! :cries:

So yes... I'm really really really proud of this picture, mainly because I put a lot of effort in to it and I would not let it defeat me this time! Poor Kage-kun had to put up with my 'on the brink of mass murder' insanity on the phone... As I remember it involved random outbursts of singing, weird noises, head banging against the desk and a lot of "I really hate this" ^^; Sorry!

This file is also huge!! He just about fits on B5 page and that's larger than A3 *shrug* no idea about sizes but it's MASSIVE! So that's why a lot of detail has been lost while down-sizing it... Go to the Details page in my scraps.... (Link found at the top of this rant).

Now.... I think this is the first proper Male in my gallery! :XD: Oh sexism I hear you yell! (either that or it's the voice in my head yelling XD) .... Anyway, I don't draw men... They always look 'flat' to me and I've not tried drawing them much at all! So I thought it was about damn time to draw one! And my god is he sexy! :giggle: Fan Service to all the girls out there! :XD:

This was drawn on the PC straight from my mind.... Over 52,000 smudge tool strokes (yes I was that annoyed that I counted), quite a lot of 'undo', probably over a trillion single strokes and a lot of weird blending my way :XD:!

Look! He even has nipples and Calvin Kline underwear!! *sooo proud!* I had no reference either! Boo ya! :rofl:

As for the background - I had no more will so I randomly scribbled something and made it feel 'hazy' ^^; After all, he has just woken up :XD:

I'll do a simple Manga Tone version too I think! Of Louki! XD

If anyone knows of good tutorials of this kind of colouring, then please send them my way! I did the best I could from scratch and how I went along but I don't know if there's an easier way :XD:

Anyway, I shall stop there or I could go on!
