Here's looking at you kid...

Artist's Comments

Alexander Kraus doesn't have any art of him, so I thought I'd grace the world with his presence. Specially since his role in my Phoenix Wright fan fic is getting so large [emoticon] He's got so much to toy with character wise... *u* I mean, him and Edgeworth together... XD I say no more!! XD

Traditional side is pencil toning- 4 hours maybe? Prob 3...
Digital side- 2 at most... It was actually really easy to colour.

Picture is dedicated to Jill V. -S.T.A.R.S. cause she inspired me to try colouring something in mono chrome like fashion ^^ Tell me if I went overboard on the film strip lines... >.> XD

He looks very sexy. I like the very chiseled look you gave him and the limited palette works well. Nice work. [emoticon]

Kraus is a German playboy, and they tend to be a little chisled... IT was also in the style of shading I was trying out. Thank you [emoticon]

Very cool [emoticon] he kinda reminds me of an old school mafia dude XD Sepia is fun to play with isn't? Gives things a really cool look to them.

I like the film grain you put over it and the shading [emoticon] Yay! Dedicated to moi! :3

Yeah- I was trying for a classic look with this, cause he does come from a mafia (or illuminati in this case) background. All I can say is that I hope I pull him off XD I've never written a character like him before... ^^

Ooh, I like this one. Great colouration and shading! And your smoke actually looks like smoke - that can be tough to do. Great job again, Ark.

Yeah- I found a tutorial on the internet a while back on flow and stuff and this was one of the things I picked up for it. Having a wave in the tablet made this picture easier- which is kinda sad ^^; Lol. IT was great fun to do thoguh ^^

Do you mean that the surface of the tablet has a wave in it then? Or that it's puter weirdness?

Either way, your results were just as fun to us as creating it was likely for you. [emoticon]

No- I draw a line with a ruler and it comes out as a series of perfect waves. It may have interfering radiated frequencies disturbing it. Or the tablet may be broken >.> I donno. I have to fault find it a bit more T.T

oh dear. Perhaps your tablet has a help forum or mailing address for tech support?

Tried that- they speak Japanese XD It was the pen though- found a forum that explained that the pens deteriorate after a while- the time period I had owned the tablet ^^; $70 later, it's fixed [emoticon] Cheaper than a new tablet XD Sorry about the late reply. Been busy T.T
