NaNoWriMo has been keeping me busy haha. I'm kinda fighting with artblock haha, I find black and white work the most relaxing, it's how I went with this. A simple picture to get me back on track Also, halfway it became a test of MangaStudio. While it's inked in SAI, all tones and other effects were added in MS.
This is the same outfit as here [link] only without the crest.

I usually never do this, but... especially in the thumbnail, this picture reminds me of the artstyle of Alichino. Don't know if you've ever read it before, but I absolutely love it! And I've never seen that from you before so it surprised me and it's beautiful. I hope you don't mind me saying that... I apologize. This definitely looks like it came straight from a manga though! ^^ I love his fierce expression - looks like he's casting a spell and whoever's on the receiving end better watch out, lol. I love the details, especially in his hair. While this may be 'a simple picture' it still looks like you put a lot of effort into it and it looks great! I like your black and white just as much as your colored. I love your art to pieces, although not literally.
(Sorry it took me so long to comment. I think some of the art I had of yours in my inbox went away... ;-; )
Hahaaha, I didn't thought of that. I mean, I have to say I really liked the art of Alichino, though I generally consider Clamp and Kaori Yuki as my bigger inspiration in the manga style black and white work. I like working in black and white, and should do it much more hah!
Ah! Yeah, I could definitely see the Kaori Yuki! I haven't seen her stuff in a long time. Of course, your stuff still looks like yours, it just reminded me of it. ^^ I agree that you should do it more, though! It looks amazing.
I haven't seen her recent stuff too, i have to admit. Kinda shame, gotta catch up someday when i'll have time I guess I don't do enough of the black&white stuff because it kinda reminds me and makes me miss the times when i used to draw manga haha.
Fantastyczne! Wspaniale użyłaś rastrów! jakbyś planowała kiedyś wydać mangę daj mi od razu znać Piękne, napatrzeć się nie mogę zabójcze rękawy, podobają mi się cienie na dłoniach :3 Z resztą nie dam rady wymienić czegokolwiek co by mi się nie podobało xD
