Artist's Comments

Finally finished! Took about...way too many hours exposed to alcohol-based markers. *dies*

It's Maka and Soul!!! From Soul Eater, a very cool manga/anime series. Kinda like Tim Burton meets...uh...Bleach? Or some other stupidly popular anime series!

Anyway, cleaned up the sketch in Photoshop and then printed it out on "manga" paper –which I am thoroughly impressed at how absorptive it is o.o;– before colouring with Copics and Letraset markers. As you can see, I have a very limited set of colours xD

Well then, it's 2 in the morning, I shall go to bed now before my eyes spontaneously combust :noes:

Oh, and C&C is most welcome, I would especially like to hear about marker techniques since I'm still rather new to the medium.

Wow......... :star:____:star:

This is incredible, I love it!! The lineart, coloring, persceptive... it's amazing! :heart:

Hm, marker techniques, I use Copics for my coloring ((:iconkaedekarasuma::)) almost all the time, but it's kind of hard for me to explain. ^^; It looks like you pretty much have the basics down well, but I know that :iconginame: has some great Copic/marker tutorials if you need help. :3

very nice... im not very good with markers either... you might find Paint markers a little more in the manga style when they go onto a thicker paper then computer paper, some of the thicker sketch book paper even works. dont think ive ever use alc. markers so might have to try them. this was done with pant markers my teacher wanted me to try ... [link] ... unfortunatly there a bit more pricy for a variety and i dont know which brands would be best but yeah thought you might want to try them if given the opportunity(Spelt Right?)
also if you've seen D.Gray man... the style and humor are similar how ever Soul eater is much more abstract with the city perspectives

When I said you're influenced by drugs, I was only joking!

Nonetheless, I guess I now have the right to say.. Called It!
