Hahaha ok so I was going completely nuts with the shading on this, sort of like this -- [link] . Until on a complete accident, I got halfway through coloring Raito and realized....
He looked pretty hot that way.
~akemichan suggested I entertain the happy accident and keep going with it. So I went back and simplified L and I really like how it turned out way better. Sometimes less is more!
I love it when mistakes turn into wonderful things you would've never thought to do on your own. That's one of the reasons I've gone back to forcing myself to do certain things in a natural media, because the lack of CTRL-Z forces you to try and improvise with mistakes, and you get entirely different, and sometimes better, results.
Undo however, is still forever my friend.
I apologize for the massive amounts of fanart lately. I promise I haven't turned into a fanart artist (not that that's bad), but the neurosis from going to my first Con is getting the best of me. Plus, some of the original stuff I've been working on has been on the somewhat... secret side. >.>
I really like the semi-cartoony style in this and the way this is designed. uwu
