Manga & Anime / Digital Media / Paintings

I try to top myself everytime I do a new painting. I think I have.
~ 3 days. I'm failing my midterms and I'm here painting.

General notes:
- A lot of the motivation came from my Astronomy class
- I do have a version where he's wearing the classic domino white mask, but it's Halloween so I decided to give him something a little more eccentric; I also have a version where he's not working a mask at all
- Played around a lot with textures.
- Originally planned to have him hold the Earth (which is the most beautiful sphere in our solar system, if you ask me), but the sun was by far easier to create
- I repainted his lips 4 times! I kept giving him feminine lips. In the end, I decided to merge all the version together. I still think it's off. I like the smirk he's almost giving, though.
- I also shrink his eyes a couple of times when I decided to do semi-realism
- The "cloak" around him was a complete accident. I was painting his tuxedo and cape. White gives much better contrast.
- I like his earring

Happy Halloween!
(Yes, this is my Halloween deviation.)

EDIT: Fixed the proportions of the face, i.e. nose and jawline.

Sorry to say, but my god!! He looks ssoooo much like Tuxedo Mask. I absolutely ADORE the colors, and the stars! Omg, I love spaces and stars. It's all so beautiful!

Make more plllleasse!!

Thank you!! XD That's because he was intended to be Tuxedo Kamen (because I'm a avid fan of the manga). I'm thrilled that you picked up the reference!

I do have more space/star pieces as well as more Mamoru fanart, but that's in my sketchblog rather than in my dA gallery

~PeppermintStick Sep 30, 2008

Aww, you should post it! I use to be a big fan as well.

Woah! I love the detail! The colors are brilliant! I would work on the hands to make them look more realistic, though. Same with the hair. Lovely skin tones ^^

ah, I see you have the same problem with priorities I do.
You did a great job, I love all the details. The frame is great. Some shadow beneath the mask would make it more realistic.

~vevew Nov 7, 2007

Thank you.
Nice eye! There's a shadow under the mask with the version with the white mask. When I added in the peacock mask, it took more space and covered the shadow.

man, the colors are so enchanting!
Your skills gain new levels with the minute Vee! A marvelous job done on the peacockfeather-mask!

Thank you!

His earring is nice but the peacock feathers and border are even better! Sheesh V!
