Artist's Comments

It's fanart this time. Akira is an OC who belongs to :iconmudkipblader:

I fell in love with her story/anime in the making called Eternal Rain - 悠久の雨. After seeing her pictures of Akira and reading up on his background, I really wanted to paint him. My intention was to do a scene from her story or a group pic of all her characters, buuut…it seems I need more experience before I’m able to handle something that complex. Some other time maybe.

I'll spare you a lot of the ranting and just tell you I had a really hard time. Also, I messed up with his clothes. I detest painting clothes. If it wasn't for the fact clothes keep us warm and decent, I would have painted him naked. Doing the hair was fun though; I like doing hair (and toying around with skin colours)

If you want to know more here’s his background: [link]

Just to be sure; he does NOT belong to me! His character and his design belong to *Mudkipblader (except for his crappy looking clothes; that’s unfortunately completely my own doing)

Mudkipblader, I hope you'll like it. I know I messed up here and there. And...I may not have captured him right, but I hope you like him anyway. I did my best :)

OH MAN :C I want you to make MEEE fanarttttt..
just kidding haha <3<3

but this looks amazing, your painting skills are so apparent in this picture
my favorite part has to be the ear, I love how the colors mix D: love how you did his face in general.
one thing that bugs me a LITTLE bit, is his collar looks too flat, maybe add a little more shading underneath where the collar is, even just a little bit of dark lining.


anyway, this is awesome D: <3

As always, you leave me speechless with your work, Vyrilien. I really wished that I had some shred of artistic ability, but alas, no one can be master of all (well, I should say hardly anyone--my depictions run through imagery and sensory words, and not paintings).

All in all, exceptional work.

DHO
