Iconoclast

[ edit ] Deepened the shadows on his shirt and pants at *LadyAttercop's suggestion, to emphasize the fact that he's hunched over. There's a few other things that have been pointed out by people, but they involve major structural changes so probably won't be happening, but I'll keep them in mind for future pics. Thanks!

========================================

It's done, it's done! Was it worth the wait?

For those coming new to my DA account, this is L from Death Note, along with his freaky monkey toes. I've been posting the sketch for this as I refined it to get advice from others, and I think it all turned out well in the end. Many, many thanks to all who helped! Previous version found at this [link] in my scraps.

Linework done in ink on comic board, scanned into and cleaned up in Photoshop, colored in Painter, then back to Photoshop for finishing touches. I wasn't originally going to color him any more than putting that red off-center frame behind him, but he turned out to need more. I'm glad I did, though; I think he polished up nicely.

Wow. A new setting: Critiques Welcome/Critique Discouraged/Comments Disabled. Huh. Well, I'm probably gonna always leave it on Critique Welcome and reserve the right to think you're an idiot.

(No, really, I do appreciate all crits, even when I don't agree with them, because I knew you took the time to look at the picture and think about it.)
