[Fan Art] Kyuuzo

[tired_n_deadinside]

Fandom: Samurai 7,
Subject: Kyuuzo,
Type: Icon,
Rating: Everyone,
Media: Mouse, MSpaint, bucket, zoom, pen/cil and (thank all the known deities, and several unknown/forgotten ones for the) erase tools. Shades of yellow, brown and orange.
Hours: The original took four months, that's right. 4. >.< My art style looks nothing like S7's and I was determined to make it look as similar as possible.
Status: Finished! I never thought I'd get to say that. ;_;





Comments: I have to say I'm never doing this again. It is created entirely by mouse. I used this and this images as guides to help me.

The full version is a helluva lot more complicated (and uglier *winces*) than this but I toned it down to get this look. I introduced my head to my desk repeatedly in the process so please do not take. I draw quite a bit with my mouse, but whoa...the technical factor on this was on a whole nother level of sheer rip-my-hair-out-and-gnaw-down-my-finger-bones-to-the-nub frustration.

Hm, I can count myself as one of his most ardent fans but where do people get the idea that he's pretty or even weirder, beautiful? Which is the word in "bi shonen" or "beautiful boy". Clearly, neither is he a boy. If he was a real person his nose would be more of a beak, very big, a touch too long on a face that's just too narrow for conventional comeliness. Maybe that's why I like him. I never did went for the girly-faced, long haired, caved-in chested boys.


Notes: It has not been crossposted and the credit for the scans of the images I listed above is...I don't know who first scanned them. If they are you, then please tell me and I will put your name before the .jpg. Thank you for looking. ^_^

I'm confused. That tiny image took 4 months? o.O

[mother.livejournal.com]

it's still pretty though, and I prsonally know that mouse is hard @_@ *doesn't have a tablet either*

Oh, no! XD I meant the original picture I drew which I then cut down to create this icon. The original, let me tell ya, looks no where near as clean as this. So I destroyed it. I wished I hadn't...

Sorry about that. *goes to change it*

Thank you! I hope the colors are okay, I'm color-blind in one eye so things that look nice to me don't really look...right...to others.

That and my monitor is eleven years old...yeah. ^__^

I'm relieved to know that. Thanks again for looking and taking some time to comment. It's very much appreciated. ^_^
