Description This is the 60k kiriban drawing awarded to these amazing people: =witchi1976 and ~dexteritza who both caught it, and also *Coco-zutarafan who caught it at 60,001.

I spent some time on DA exploring self-portraits/cosplay photography from deviants, instead of the usual celebrity, to find a new inspiration.

Both models are the same person, the gorgeous *yuegene . She cosplayed L, but I changed her "DOLLS" photo slightly to become Light - it wasn't planned at first, as I felt like drawing both her photos anyhow.

I'm aware that Light's hair is meant to be brown, and I still need to improve on shading.

Was inspired by constantly seeing Death Note fanart from ~sushihase , ~Marghe-chan and ~Dimaa .

YAY! (yes, I just now saw it, because I'm always too lazy to look through the deviations in my message centre)

Death Note rocks! Especially L! And the live action movies!

Hey, no problem. I was worried about the fav and running, but now I see you're still so appreciative (unlike some people).

You're right about the movies. And the quality of the anime is also astonishingly good.

It'd be insulting to fave and run your stuff.

I try to comment on stuff, but I always end up with thousands of deviations (I think it's because of the DA groups).

Omgah! Guess what I bought at Hot Topic the other day? An L shirt

Fave and running is ok though. I would not able to keep up with as many comments.

Yeah, I experience that too, all those groups have at least 300 devs a week.

Oh wow! Do you mean the white shirt that L wears, or a shirt with L on it?

Coco-zutarafan In reply to hedspace77 [2010-08-05 22:00:52 +0000 UTC]



Yeah, I know what you mean.

Group overload

I mean a black shirt that says Death Note and has L's face on it

I take pride with drawing hair, sometimes it's too detailed.
Not as perfect as your pencil drawings!

Hahaha! They are enemies, why would they fancy each other? L seemed like the gay type in the movie.

Goddamn good hair. I guess that's the main thing on the pic anyway. I guess you, drawing this, couldn't wait to draw the hair and the rest was just necessary and boring

hedspace77 In reply to laliluleilo [2010-06-28 23:05:03 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, precisely that - I thought when is it time to draw the hair? The hair was a nightmare, the way I keep adding layers of different pencil types.

Glad you took time to appreciate this.

xCamix [2010-05-02 10:50:10 +0000 UTC]

Gosh *_* I immediately recognized L! I like how you drew him, more than Light
As always your pic is very gorgeous and realistic, well done!

hedspace77 In reply to xCamix [2010-06-28 22:31:50 +0000 UTC]

L is distinctive with his white top and hair, but I'm very happy you think it is captured well.
Many many thanks

Thank you, I'm really glad you do. Clothing and hair are quite easy to figure out how to draw, but the rest is so challenging

XFadedToBlackX [2010-04-19 19:01:35 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you didn't draw the actual actor who plays Light, he looks like a kid! Anyway, I love this! Makes me wanna watch Death Note again.

Oh god, yeah it would've been an easy picking to draw the actor. Cosplayers do it better!

Wow, I'm really glad this got you in the mood. Many thanks ^^

Oh that film is very weird, but the more focus on L is awesome. Someday, I should draw Kenichi as L.

Many thanks!

I really like the way you draw hair. Al the same if it's color pencils or graphite.
Thank you for the dedication, now I go and add it at my shoutboard.

hedspace77 In reply to WitchiArt [2010-06-28 21:44:38 +0000 UTC]

Drawing the hair requires the same technique for both colours and graphite, which makes it easier for me. But it's still such a huge job. I enjoyed drawing it for the kiriban catchers.

Wow, I really appreciate that, Marion!

Great work

You don't know much I'm so amazed by every bit of appreciation you give me. I didn't expect that kind of awesome reaction about the kiriban, and I always enjoy drawing for people anyway

Many thanks again!
