So today I was in a pretty pissed off mood for most of the day, and so I began watching an AMV called "Spoil", which features Yagami Light. I ended up kind of feeling like drawing light, and next thing I knew I was painting it.
I'm very happy with this piece.
Thanks to

for help with the arm/hand/shoulders. :) Helped me out a ton! Also thanks to him for showing me his friend's, Jeff, live feed of a painting. I learned a lot from it, but one thing I applied to this piece was constantly being at 100% or less, while working on the piece, rather than zooming in. It helped the process go a lot faster. =)
And the funny thing is, I lineart was my last step - always. ^-^
I did everything on this except for the "Death Note" logo at the top left. =) References used (for hair and such).

I'm not a death note fan, but your color and detail are really amazing. If I had money I would love to do commission with you but..I am broke. T_T If you ever want I'll draw your characters
I just love the pens movement effect. He's a little crazy though.
This is nice! I love how you shaded him
