Description Paint date: 20041108
medium: chinese/japanese calligraphy ink and brush painting.

I always pictured L as those ancient demon creatures that you sometimes see in chinese/japanese mythology/painting, and sumi-e style suits him.

Cheers.

I miss him too. He's so adorable, so unique, so L. It's good that people make so much fanart of him.

EGADS IT'S AN L. Ahhhhhh, how I love the L - his expression is just perfect here, and the brush-strokes are beautiful. (I tried brush-painting once, many years ago, and loved it - but was never very good at it. )

I really love the way you do the sumi-e, it must take some skill. His hair is great.

The pose is really interesting... something like a gargoyle in my mind, poised to attack, or ready to guard. The face is a little shocking, maybe it's just me, or it's possibly supposed to be a little freaky? The hair seeming to be blowing is a nice touch too.

Thanks for all the comments, Draith! (and don't worry about late or whatever, I'm happy that you find time to comment )
Ah, this character named L, from the manga series "death note". He's a quirky eccentric (genius) and great at solving crimes. And that's his typical pose and look (my version) If you have a chance, do check out the manga series, which is currently on Weekly Jump (Japan). I think there's a Deathnote club on DA too.. will dig it out and let you know, I think they have links to translations

That'd be cool, I'll check out the club if I get a chance. I don't have any access to the Weekly Jump, as I have only been able to pick up a few Shonen Jump here and there But thanks!

I've dug out the link for death note manga scanslations - [link] I haven't tried that so I'm not sure how that works... 'cause I buy the Japanese manga volume (since I can read a bit), and follow the chinese scanslations if I can't wait for the chapters.. (here's the chinese one - [link] they scan and work the quickest, like, within days of Jump Weekly releases)

it does seem that way doesn't it, the more spontaneous it is, the more I end up liking it! I did a sketch last night in like ten seconds that I love, I think I'll post it soon. Gotta love it when it flows, ne?
