The angle and colors for this one were patterned after a stock photo I downloaded a while back (sheerly for lighting reference), and of course the clothing, face and such are (loosely) patterned after Blues in the Rockman Megamix manga. Up until recently I hadn't discovered how nice some of the non-standard brushes in PS7 can be to use...

So I used a few alternate ones in this pic, except for the hair. It's kinda scary but...oh well... ._. I'll probably wish I had tweaked it a little more tomorrow.

I don't understand why this picture has so few comments and favorites. This is one of the most byuu-tiful works of art I've ever seen here at Sheezy! The texture of the hair, the perfect facial structure, the light source and the folds of his scarf... everything about this picture is so incredibly impressive and amazing!

A definite fave!

Ah...I thought I commented on this!>_<Blues-kun is really sexy here...I love how the hair falls over his face...It TOTALLY fits his mysterious character. That and Ariga's style rules for Blues.
