This piece of artwork has been featured in my article called "This week's traditional anime/manga portraits" [link] It's really a wonderful work, and it's worth at least being featured in a news article Thank you very much for showing us your works!!! Congratulations!
"Aw dammit! I got ketchup on my new shoes!" thats what is happening.... XDDDD yea c: awesome pic... i have to work in that manga studio thing i got >_> its been like a year since i got it XD and i never used it once.... -failure- c:
Humm this looks awesome all clean up and sharpened ^___^ Lovely job on the tones n_n the black background really makes the patterns stand out really nicely and the small white line you've put around his form really contrasts nicely with the background shade the shading lines look really nice and smooth now and they're really even as well ^_^ especially on the face awesome job!!! n_n
Hmm, the black background really seems more of a distraction from the character himself. Maybe something of a gray, or just plain white would probably make him stand out more than he is right now.
diggin the tones too
