:] There's a name for these kinds of failures, though.
"Test(s)".
I want to call this a "start", or a "beginning".
BY THE WAY. IT TOOK FOUR FUCKING DAYS TO COME UP WITH A WAY TO PAINT THE ARMOR.
And it' isn't even NEAR correct. Imagine how bad it was BEFORE I settled with the way it is now. God.
I'm going to continue to work on this specific picture, and only upload new, uncolored sketches, until I get this right.
I like how the hair and face came out.
Everything sort of has some really odd, cartoon-y look to it, though, it isn't TOO bad, but. It isn't too great, either.
Any tips for the armor and/or leather-y cape-area would be more than loved. I think I'm on the right track with everything else.

P.S: Crosses on Maikeru's armor don't exist anymore.
Since he never truly supported heaven, and turned down several invites to take his father's place as one of the 16 Seraphs (as Aftiel is banished from heaven at this point, there is no sense in Maikeru going to heaven where his search and regular life would be impossible), I've decided to take them off. They just don't fit his character.
He's too dark for something like that, to begin with.

Ahhh! your art is amazing! the shading is brilliant. I like the hair too, and you did a grand job on the armor. I would have to say my favorite part are the eyes though. Jealous is I!
Btw thanks for the comment earlier. =D
