Description Title: "Wandering in the Moonlight"
Date Finished: 9.3.2004

Here's my first fully rendered fan art of Kenshin ^__^ I may have gone overboard with all the textures and stuff, but it looks so good with them This is meant for bookmarks, so that's why it's so tall XD This took about two weeks to complete from initial sketches to final finishing touches.

Enjoy!

Kenshin never makes that smirking face... ok, maybe when he's battousai... but after seeing you draw him like that, i think he should make that face all the time

That's so awesome! I tried to do moonlight colouring recently. It didn't work. lol. I don't read this manga or anything but I've always loved this dude. He's so cool looking. I don't know whether you've read DNAngel but I think that Dark would look amazing if you drew him. Like with your colouring style and all. Just a thought, xx

Thank you very much for this comment and the others you've written! I've read D.N.Angel before, and yes, I'd like to do a drawing of him, probably with Daisuke in there as well, it's just I got so many other things that I want to get done first (namely a doujinshi), so Dark'll have to wait a little while longer. lol XD

@_@ How could I have NOT seen this picture before??!! >_>
I love Kenshin. ;0;
You drew him SO WELL!! I love his hair. YOu shaded it so well, like I can see the difference between all the strands with your marvelous shading. The highlights are also well used.
The look on his face is just awesome. Once again, perfect smile. I love it, looks like he's smirking at someone. x]
ANd his eyes are very well drawn, how they're slanted like that. Love the coloring to it too.
The textures do look really nice. And the colors you chose go with Kenshin so well!!
If only I had money... I wish this were my book mark. x] Great job, Zac-sama!!

Kenshin looks mighty sexyy

He looks really mysterious and has that satisfied smirk on his face like I-know-something-you-don't-know or I-did-something-that you won't like. LOL

Waiii~ this is a very gorgeous picceh! *_* <33 for the Kenshin. ^^ I like the coloring work - the purplish lighting does nicely to set the mood for the time of day, and Kenshin's expression is shmexay. XD

Very nicely done! if you don't mind.

NekoOni [2005-02-20 05:45:08 +0000 UTC]

The colour scheme of this pic is so great, I like how you incorporated the same colours and texture on his clothes and skin --hair! It makes the pic flow so well together. I think the stormy look to the colours go perfectly with his expression.

Great. *Love*

This is great. I love how deep and strong your shadows are, especially in the hair. Your coloring is far superior to mine and I am rather jelous I must say.

Hiee! ^_^ It looks great Paul! ! I can't wait to own one at AN05, hehe ^_^. Though it reminds me a lot of Battousai *nod*, but not from his younger days, I mean like when during the series he would sometimes revert back to his Battousai personality. I always thought those parts were so cool ^o^. Once again, I absolutely love your colouring skills. You have such a refined style Paul, it's very recognizable and eye-pleasing !

I love it! hehe Kenshin looks so good. Once again your style adds so much to what would be a normal fanart and makes it something so much more. The lighting is awesome too. lol I don't think there is anything not awesome about this bookmark. When can I buy one? lol

I guess the earliest you can get this is at Anime North next year XD lol
