Edit: So I noticed people are still fav-ing this! Which is really nice and I do appreciate it a lot, but please support me on my new account [link] so that I can actually see your comments and faves! Thank you!!! <3



I put in tons of hours and details, so FULLVIEW PLEASE! ;-; Thankies~ <3

Geez, what's with these boring titles today? I really need to get myself some sleep.

I had wanted to do a digital realism piece for a while. And portraits of j-rockers were always something that I wanted to do/have been doing. So, I finally got around to it. And Hitsugi from Nightmare is my first victim! Or rather, I think I'm his victim. This took forever! And light colored hair is really, really hard to paint, I've learned. So is the tons of detail on his clothes.

I'm still really dissatisfied with some parts of it, but overall, especially since this is my first try at digital realism since... that picture of my eyes I did back in high school? I think it turned out pretty well. I'll probably do more later. Because despite the tons of work needed, it was sorta fun. And the sense of accomplishment is nice~! ... I wonder if people would pay me for something like this? XDDD;;;

I'd say... maybe 15-ish hours? Sorta lost count after a while. The clothes details and hair took the longest though. At least a few hours on each of those.

Beautiful. It took me a couple seconds to realize it was a drawing. I think you colored it beautifully too. <3
