Description A long overdue fan art for my favourite manga of all time: Death Note, featuring Light and L.

Why is L drawn twice? It's because I am a L supporter~ I watched the L spin-off movie sometime back and I must say I was a bit disappointed with the plot and out-of-character moments.

References used, this took me months to finish! @__@

Is anyone interested to see some work-in-progress? I will post some WIP tomorrow when I wake up.

Medium: Photoshop & Painter

This is my first fully digital piece, hope you like it!

I like the second movie best, and the manga can get rather wordy sometimes, which is necessary for the plot of course.

L supporters rock on! <3

OMG! I adore your lineart in this. L-supporters unite! I think Raito makes an interesting (or at least unorthodox) villain, but L pwns him by N power.
I love that huge L closeup in the background, great likeness!

By N power do you mean n like an undefined integer or N as in Near? *geek mode* xD

Thanks for your comment, it means a lot. Hopefully the next piece will be better. ^^

Hey ho.
I love the composition of colours on this. And the poster style layout of the characters. Superb.

Thank you so much~~ *3* Glad that you like it!

I didn't really like L: Change the World, especially the parts whereby they are all dying of that virus...just yucky. x\ The plot was also rather cheesy and one-tracked... you get to see L riding a bicycle and trying to stop a plane physically and other stuff. Too out of character if you ask me.

Oh, if you notice, L's name is also in the title as well! ^^ Thanks for your fav and comment!

Oh yes, and I really dig the name of the piece. As expected from a linguist.

I love the way both the L's are done. U've really captured the constantly 'stunned' expression of L very well. But I felt Raito's pose could be improved on. His leg and body seems a little dislodged when I see it from far.

Oh well... But u've already concluded this piece, which is a great improvement from the previous one. See, I told ya. XD

Totally looking forward to the next one. The best is yet to be.

Thanks for your words, will seek to improve the anatomy in the next piece~ Ironically, Light's pose is the one I used reference for! x3

Yep, signed, sealed, delivered. This piece is done. I was sick of looking at it for months now.. lol.

The way you colored this peice is beautiful! It really has it's own place.

You did very well capturing L's personality as well.

Looks awesome bro. Even tho I guess I would be more of a Light follower >> L was great, but something about Light.

stoic1985 In reply to FutileHope [2008-05-21 19:35:26 +0000 UTC]

Something about Light that makes you wanna root for him, I know. He has that appeal and his pretty boy looks doesn't hurt as well! If Kira was butt-ugly, it will have been so different!

Thanks for your fav, bro!

I L... D: He was the best character on the whole show, except for misa... Now Misa, I'd marry that girl or stalk her...

stoic1985 In reply to TheDrunk [2008-05-21 03:25:27 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I didn't like Misa so much, cause I felt that she was being used by Light willingly throughout the story. Such is the power of infatuation. @__@

Thanks for the fav man!

TheDrunk In reply to stoic1985 [2008-05-21 04:31:42 +0000 UTC]

I really liked Misa at first, till she fell into a secondary role... Then she just kinda sucked... though she was extremely hot so I didn't care...

L was the best character on the show... He could of easily taken down Light many times but didn't cause he liked him too much...
