Artist's Comments

This is a picture I drew for ~Her-Geekness as a thank you for notifying me about and art thief.
Honestly, if someone actually makes the effort to stop art thieves and let the artist know when a picture has been stolen, you deserve one yourself. So yes, I will draw a picture for a person who helps me with this, since I truly appreciate their effort.
Either you're a part of the solution or a part of the problem.

So I hope that you like it! :D

And... well... about the picture? It's Dante from Devil May Cry 4 and... well... it's not a 100% likeness, no, but we're talking about the guy who changes appearance and pretty much personality between every game that he's in :XD:
And yes, I am only trying to find excuses >_> It was like four or five years since I drew from a reference like this (since yes, of course I used a reference) and I'm not really an expert on it yet. I AM going to practice though...
So... please cut me some slack? I did my best for the purpose and they say that it's the thought that counts, right? >_>
I kinda like it anyway ^^ It's much better than I thought that it would be...

Graphite :drool:


Dante and Devil May Cry belongs to Capcom

WOAH!!!! :noes:
Woah...
:noes:
This was, something new... Not that you draw realistic and kickass on it, but that you made a picture of a... man? :XD: I'm not used to see you draw men in the manly way :XD: sorry sorry don't hit me!
lol
Okay I'm done, sorry :XD:
You captured the reference really well, and was able to pull out the material great. I like the kontrast in the hair a lot to.
:lol:
Need to sleep... :XD:

I've opened up my eyes
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose god wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky

*jaw hits floor*

I have major difficulty with making some sort of sense right now. All my languages fail me.

This is absolutely, stunningly gorgeous. It's also damn unexpected. When I spotted the twit who claimed your art as his, I sure didn't expect anything in return.

Damn. Just damn. Thank you bunches for this gorgeous staring material. You are unbelieveably talented, and too kind.

Really good :) You're getting better at this, even. Not that you were bad before, and you KNOW that, but just that it's getting better.

I really like the completely animated mouth in the middle of everything :XD: It just looks so... Dante.

Whoa O_o That's just like... whoa :XD: I'm seriously speechless.
It's so friggin' aewsome >_> You oughta have seen my face when I first saw it, I must've looked pretty funny :XD:
Reference drawing ftw! This rocks the socks of everything I've seen for pretty long >_> Your skills with graphite is just completely amazing and... yeah, I was the speechless one here :P So I'll quit ranting.
But I hope you get my point - this is absolutely awesome and... yes, awesomeness embodied. *nods*

Hfgdfds. Light direction is amazing. D:
The texture on his... shirt...? Is also nicely done... Could never squeeze anything like this outta me. XD

His eyes, HIS EYES. They're so ... um, glaring and beautiful. :D

P.S. Art thieves?
Know two of em and they still haven't GTFO.

It's shocking how useless DA is to certain issues.

Buzz off you little brat :P
I DO draw manly men. It's just that you haven't seen them :XD:

Bleh... reference. It was a really tricky one :XD:
And I hated doing his frickin' clothes! You see the pattern thingie there?! A PAIN! But it turned out pretty nicely...

Sleep :P

Thanks for that! :D

*Lienwyn Apr 24, 2008, 1:19:52 AM
Heh... I'm glad that you like it :XD:

And... well, normally people don't expect that I guess >_> It's just me thinking that it should be rewarded. If nothing else, it might help people to react and report stolen art sooner ^^;

Anyhow. I am so glad that you like it!
It was a challenge to suddenly turn around and draw from a reference (since I normally just... draw) and I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't turn out as nice as I wanted it to ^^;
But it seems pretty alright ;)

Thank you so much for your help :hug:
