Fuck yeah! Thanks for this! Sorry I can't get the words out to describe how much I love it ;; But, I DO. ^^ The colors are perfect, the setting is dreamy and Kyo is absolutely beautiful.....plus I really love the moth on the tree....and the tree..haha I really do love it all ^^

Late reply is late... PSSSSh you're very welcome. I wish I could have done exactly what I saw in my head for it but I'm still learning some things. It definitely forced me to learn alot. I thought the moth would be a nice touch for some reason...or I really just wanted to paint a moth. XD

Still viewing this.. Would love to see this exactly as it is with his hair in it's in natural color as well.. so curious as to how it would look. And I agree about the goatee, yet it looks appropriate without it in this image

ikreate [2011-11-22 14:35:56 +0000 UTC]

I really love this, it's expression and feeling, and all of the intricate details.. If it were myself however, being that he appears so much in a natural Japanese state of appearance and atmosphere, I would have left his hair in his natural color as well. The blonde sort of throws the image off. I do still love this though. Please don't get me wrong, that is just my own personal opinion.

RaSen In reply to ikreate [2011-11-22 20:07:02 +0000 UTC]

I agree. I would have probably left his hair black for this one, but it wasn't up to me.

Right, I saw that it was a commission ^_~. And I also considered that since the image is so well done, and that you are so talented, that you could possibly have felt the same way as well.. ^_~.

Hory potatoes. You made Kyo look feminine *wide eyes*

I adoreeee the lighting on this, it has a lot more varience from normal shading, Kyo's chest is praticaly irridesent, it looks marvelous. And as usual you've got amazing attention to detail on the tattoos. The only thing I would say is that the pants don't quite have enough depth, look like they should be shaded a little more but it's minor really, the entire thing is still gorgeous, well done hun

ahh yes, the pants...obviously you can see I'm struggling with clothing. ^^ Clothes are probably one of the hardest things for me to draw.

I love the feeling in the painting ^^ it's beautiful, serene, and kind of sad.
The hair is amazing.
Some of the painting in the background seems a bit rushed, but I don't know if you want crits on this one.

RaSen In reply to CharlottaBavholm [2011-11-20 20:22:04 +0000 UTC]

Does it? I didn't rush it but I wanted it to sink into the background since she wanted Kyo as the main focal point. This was really my first landscape-ish painting so I had very little idea what I was doing. XD

That's quite ingeniously done, 'coz it's not so obvious... I mean, if I knew how to write "MAO" in kanji I'm sure I would understood it without explanations haha XD It's like a delicate hint? So basically you brilliantly dropped a hint of MaoKyo, I really like it )
I'd like to buy print of one of your works, but I don't have place in my apartment to hang it, so I'm holding myself from purchase...

RaSen In reply to copy-ninja-Alex [2011-11-25 03:23:43 +0000 UTC]

Yup, just a hint. ^^

Are you talking about buying a print on DA? Or buying the png file from me? I don't really recommend getting one from DA. I think they're a bit overpriced for what you actually get. But I sell pngs for fairly cheap and you can take them to a local printshop whenever you feel like it. If you ever want one you know where I am.

copy-ninja-Alex In reply to RaSen [2011-11-25 09:45:22 +0000 UTC]

I didn't really realized you sell pngs! Loevly, that's even better! I think I will just send you private message when I will get extra money after New Year, so we could then talk about prices etc.

RaSen In reply to Chirayoju [2011-11-19 23:37:41 +0000 UTC]

You could do it. It would just take time to practice. I wasn't always good at drawing what I see and I've heard so many people say that they couldn't do it but over time they realize that the more they try to do it the easier it gets. ^^ The trick with drawing/painting anything is repetition.

i am on an arts school >_< so i really need to practice a lot *lol*

but i prefer designing clothes and sewing, that's why i am to lazy to draw or paint. also i don't like working with colors somehow..*gg*

i did not think this was kyo until i saw the tattoos O.O he should do his hair like this instead of continuesly chopping it off all willy nilly >.< more gorgeousness to share<3
this is fabulous and i agree, his scruffy chin was a beloved thing
