Hmmm. I actually finished this right around midnight ( heh, me and deadlines don't get along well... ) and then my computer decided to get pissy with me and freeze. And then DevArt wouldn't upload it. =_=;; Here's hoping this works this time...

It's Sugizo with that Red/Black hairstyle he had for a while. :heart: Sugi-sama, he's so cool~ X3

This is my entry for jrockers & iheartcolour's intercommunity art contest, Pretty in Blood. Whomever it was I talked with from jrockers was kind enough to extend the contest for me, because I had started sketching this and I wasn't sure if the contest was still going on since it seemed like no one else entered....

Well, anyhow, I'm actually not happy with this at all. My colouring skills are nonexistant, and thus I really dislike how it looks now. The original sketch has so much more detail and what you see is WAY simplified, since if I had taken the time to try and colour it in with the details, there was no way I'd ever finish in time. I'm going to go back and fix it up later, but for now, since it is technically late already.... >.>;;; Yeah.

Reference picture used, but it was a wallpaper I had on my HD and I don't remember where I got it from. Once I find some space to upload it, I'll post a link. It's a really nice picture ^^;

And yes, it's all blurry on purpose, mostly so my most obvious mistakes/quick fixes don't stand out quite so much.

Mwee. Sugizo~ :heart: Even if it isn't the best, it's still Sugi-sama~~~! X3~

[EDIT] Typos suck. -_-;;

[EDIT x2] WHOOOO! I finally can change this! X3~~ Anyhow,t his is a better representation of what I was trying to do. I'm still not exactly pleased with this, but damned if it doesn't look SO much better than before. I fixed the really blatant errors from before as best I could, and played around with it a whole lot. I hope you like this version better, I know I do! It's a lot clearer since I'm not blurring over any mistakes, and there are still some rather obvious things that should be fixed, but I have niether the time, nor inspiration, to fix everything wrong with it right now. Probably not the required talent either, for that matter... but enough of that, I'll shut up now and leave you alone.

[EDIT x3] Mmm... sorry about this, I'm just uploading a cleaner (somewhat) version since I just realized how horrible it looks on a decent monitor. ^^;

:blushes: Aww, thanks, I was feeling a bit irked because of it, but I'm glad you like it so much ^_^ :hug:

oh bah, the picture is just fine :P Actually, its really good. Coloring takes a lot of practice to get really good at, so dont worry so much about it not being colored perfectly. I tried coloring once in PS, and it was horrid, made me want to get sick just from looking at it. So just give it some more practice.
I like the simple three color scheme. :p

There is no 'I' in 'Team', but there is 'I' in 'Ninja'.
Heheh. Yes, practise practise practise. Renshuu renshuu renshuu. XP I suppose so. It takes me forever to colour though. I could spend a whole day colouring one image like that, a full 24 hours, and still not be finished with it ( or at least happy with it ). I blame it on the perfectionist in me x.x;;;

Sankyuu for the +Fav though, and I'm happy you think it's good ^^;;; I shall have Kurisu castle-outsider teach me how to ink and CG like her. Kurisu ish teh master at CG X3


-Alieu =^.~=

Mwee. Yesh. It is called 'Alieu is lazy and did not have time to fix the shading and such, so decided if she made it all flat colours, she wouldn't have to deal with that'. >.>;; :D Sankyuu Kurisu, you shall coach me in teh CGing at the next LAN, yesh? :3 That would be uber. Cause I suck XD

Sugizooo~! He was such an awesome guitarist when he was part of LunaSea. ;_; Well, he still is an awesome guitarist still. ^___^ I love how you were able to portray this picture only using three solid colors. The simplicity makes it nice I personally think. =D Great job~ Good luck on the contest!
Hee, yesh, I agree, Sugi-sama is brilliant~ I've been stuck on the PV of A Prayer ever since I uploaded this image. He's so cool! *_* :heart::heart: Sankyuu for the comments, I'm glad you like it! ^_^;

...I really REALLY want to update this. I fixed it up and went over my errors, and geez, I must really have been tired when I finished this. There were SO many things I didn't catch XD I'm still not too pleased with the latest version I have.... but it looks SO much better than this one >.>;; But I'm not sure if I can update this yet. I wish they would hurry and... uhh, judge, or whatever they need to do, so I can change this... X3
