Description
Finally! I finished this a month ago, but I could only upload it now! *sinks* Again, blame it on my infected laptop. Grrr...To those who have no idea who this is, I shall inform you that HE is Ion from Trinity Blood (manga version)! ^__^ He does look like a cute girl in the manga (though he looks a little boyish in anime and awesome in novel illustrations). At first I tried to draw Abel, but I failed. >__< So I tried Ion and it turned out to be like this... First attempt on the adorable vampire.
For some reasons, I couldn't edit the color to make it more like the original art (his lips are supposed to be pink not purple! Geez~). Wait until I reinstall my Photoshop... I'll replace the file then.
Kiyo-sensei's style is.. wow. Another talented mangaka.
Anyway, I tried my best to mimic her style. Hope you like it. 
Media: Gel pen, color pencils, poster/water colors, and color pens. Those who are able to tell which part is done in color pencils and which in poster/water colors, I would love to hear from you. X3
Disclaimer: Trinity Blood and Ion do not belong to me.

Thanks for the comment. ^^ Glad you like it. Kiyo sensei's style is really unique. I couldn't really mimic it well for Abel... that's coz i like Ion more I think.

Yeah. I find Ion interesting to draw. But then he is an interesting character. I think I've only drawn Able once.

i love all the spiffy dteails on the background

Hmmm, can i fathom a guesss to water colours
Ummm, clothes water colour with touch ups with pencil
Eyes, pencil
hair, water colours ?
Background a mix X3
Lol I'm probably so rong...but ah well
U really love this piece, his eyes in a way haunt me lol
although my only very small grip is that the fold in the middle of the lilac lace, to me doesn't look natural, but alas it hardley noticeable.
Although as i said this is amazing X3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha. You were the first to make a guess.
You were right in certain areas. Though for his clothes, and hair I did color with color pencils first before using a bit of the water color for touch up.
Yeah, for some reasons his eyes haunt me too. Probably it's because of his position as a vampire. LOL! True, the lilac lace is stiff. Sort of.. last minute work. 
Thanks for the compliment.

Squue!!
Hmm...I haven't seen that anime yet. D: Is it any good?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the compliment.
Oh... Anime is not good (the ending really really.. sucks. T__T)... But the manga is cool. Though.. not many people like the style (after seeing the novel illustrations by Thores-sama). XD It depends on individual, actually. XD

Oh? Well, maybe i'll go check it out then!!

Wow....I like the colours.
Behind her, the round one, is it window glass?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the comment and glad that you like it. :3
Oh, yeah, the backgrounds.. all are of window glasses. Though I doubt that I drew them successfully... I had a feeling I spoilt them.
P/S: It's not 'her'. XD It's him. Hehehehe.

o_o... Wow, for some weird freakish reason when I first saw this I thought it was Kurapika, then I thought it was Fuji, then I read your description, and THEN... I realized that I was wrong.
Ehehehe~ Wow, so many details. @_@ That's just amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Oh no, not freakish reasons at all. I do admit it does look a bit like Kurapika/Fuji. XD
Thanks for the compliment. *bows* ^^

I LOVE bishie boys.. and so I LOVE Ion from T.B.
This was wonderfully done, the colors are beautiful and the clothing design... everything!
The background is pretty impressive as well- good job!

Thank you for such compliment. It made my blush. Hahaa. *bows* I am glad you like this.

I especially love the detail and attention to the more intricate parts of this picture... the coloration helps to make each portion stand out, but its the amount of things that work well with each other that makes this so amazing!
L~

Oh this is very beautiful indeed. I love all of the soft colours you used, they all match and blend really well together. The only thing that gets me about this is that I find the background to be a little busy. For me it's a little hard for my eyes to focus on one place because they're darting everywhere to see everything. The detail you put in though must have taken great patience, It really does have that great touch. All in all, great work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, long comment. Not that I complain of course.
For such complicated art, I am afraid that the colors won't blend well. It really took me a large amount of patient to try to make the colors harmonic. Haha, I must agree the background does look busy. I realized most of my arts are.. lack of background. So oh well, I tried to draw a complex one.
Ah.. I am ranting again.
