Description

My good buddy chum pal Virune has her birthday today and I wanted to draw her something nice because she's been a cool person to me for so long!

Lin is such a cool looking character and I just had to draw him. His reference didn't have a back view so I had to take some liberties with his design, but I hope that you like this! Have a great birthday and a pleasant year ;v;


I haven't drawn anything good in like 2 months and didn't touch my tablet in weeks now and suddenly I draw the best thing in my life? What is this witchcraft? The entire bottom half looks like it was taken from someone else, I can't even believe I painted that. I'm really excited to improve now!

Character belongs to Virune
Feel free to critique my artwork, but don't critique the design as this isn't my character design and I can't learn anything from criticising it!

Thank you so much, mate! Knowing how long you've been with me, it's cool that you've seen me grow. Let's hope I don't suddenly crash c':

Thank you, bud! I'm so proud of this shading that it may become vanity
The hours I've spent just staring at this piece since it was created yesterday
Look man, normally I don't draw and then realise I lost half of my techniques, but in my absence I observed other people's art and thus learned! It's how I did the legs, I looked at KatieHofgard 's way of shading and wanted to try it out myself lol
Just wait until I next draw, back to 2011

You really deserved it! You've been so kind to me this year and drew a lot of my sons, so I was happy to make your day a little brighter as a thank you gift ;v;

Ahh, that's so nice to hear! I've had compliments on the combination of his colours with my shading style, so I'm really grateful to have had a chance to draw him too c:

Ahh well I'm really happy to hear that you liked all the little doodles I did of your kiddos! Seriously they are so fun to draw!

I really love how you made his colours pop, particularly the bluish green of his hair.
It looks really nice, and it definitely added to my day! <3

i dont have an in depth critique but i really love the complementary color scheme you used, and the design of this character has a very unique silhouette! i think the shading is a bit too stark in places (particularly the face) and it might look better with softer shading in places/lower contrast, but that's pretty subjective. also love the dynamic pose you used!

Thank you very much! Any feedback is always immensely appreciated ;v;

This character was such a delight to work with, and I think how different his colours are from my own characters definitely contributed to the way the colours worked out! I did see it was a bit dramatic, but I love me some dramatic shading :'D

And it's cool to hear my pose being called dynamic! I've been struggling for ages to get my poses to be less stale, and I'm personally proud of this one too c:
