Artist's Comments

Request for :iconprincessoblivious: of her ninja characters Mai and Grey.

Grey's vest is amazing <strike>because it shows off his chest</strike> because the design is pretty. Riiiiiight. Anyways in all seriousness, I do like both their outfit designs.

I have never tried to draw a guy with out a shirt before. It was hard, especially since when I normally can't draw something well or have just never drawn it before, I look up pictures to use for references. I think you can see the issue I would have trying to search for references.

Mai and Grey belong to ~PrincessOblivious.

Now I have to see if I can finish Anatol in a day.

This is actually pretty good. The cell shading and highlighting are done well, especially the glossy look on Mai's outfit. I love that. I think you did Grey pretty well, but the shading on his outfit could use a bit more work. The shine doesn't come out as well as Mai's. Perhaps too much white on the gloss. Not exactly sure, though.

lol. search troubles. I had the same problem trying to learn feet. great expresions.
:iconprincessoblivious:
Awesome!!! I can't tell you how much I love the pose and the expressions, they work perfectly for the characters and they look so cute together :heart: :heart: :heart:
-I've been pretty iffy on my vest design but I think I'll leave it as is since you made it look so hot, lol.

:love: Thanks! :love:

Thanks for the comment and the critique.
Hmm, yeah there was something wrong with the way I shaded his jacket, the highlights were to bright. I (hopefully) fixed it now.
Thanks again for the critique.

:D

:giggle: I think you misunderstood what I said. I didn't want to search for "hot guy chest", because I was afraid of the kind of results it would bring up. There could of been some really useful references, but I didn't want to risk trying to look them up. ;)
So you had the some problem with feet? feet are so promiscuous you know. :D JK, I know what you mean, it can be hard finding really good feet refs, although at least you have your own feet to look at if all else fails.
Thanks. :D

Thanks. :D
I'm so glad you like the way the poses/ expressions came out, I was hoping they fit the characters right.
I vote to keep the (really super hot) vest.
You're welcome.

Look forward to 'Guardians: Awakening', my online novel, coming soon to an internet near you!
:iconjilllenad:
Thanks. :D
I was trying really hard to make them look "'cute-together" (instead of just together) ... If that even makes sense XD.
