--[Drawing Information]--

An illustration featuring the main character and the setting of face shot of the main character in Shadow Snap. The character design was inspired//based off a Magic: The Gathering creature called Trespasser il-Vec as the story was based of random cards and their effects.

This drawing took me really long, a few days actually. I found reference for the Kanji assorted throughout the picture, except some I knew myself. I have the meanings written down on my sketches and I can go look them up if anyone would like it. I am actually really proud of this drawing. The perspective is a little off with things such as the sidewalk blocks, but it doesn’t seem to be a hugely noticeable thing.

I had this piece in the Art From the Highschools exhibition at theVisual Art Centre of Clarington

I had this uploaded, actually the first thing I had ever uploaded on dA. It had been ignored pretty much. So I took it down, and have re-vamped it. I cleaned it up, added some lighting effects and darkened it, to set the atmosphere. I also added the boarder – all that done in Photoshop. Comments and criticism welcome.

Well this is fantastic! I've never drawn a background in any of my pieces, this is great. It really fills up th pic. But just one thing, if i'm correct, it's supposed to be night time in this pic., if this is true, then the lack of shadows on the background and the character conflict with that. I could be completely wrong if it's supposed to be day!Hahaha! NIce one, man!

Yeah, its supposed to be night time. I darkened it and added lighting effects to create some shadows but I still wanted it darker. I couldn't do much more with photoshop without losing bits of the picture.
I needed to use harder shadows or just darker ones when I colored it in.

But thank-you for the citicism and the complements :aww:

hmm, yup yup, no problem man, it's great that you even put in the backgroung in the first place, and the details are great!
