haHA! This is neat, very neat. x3 I want to go in and swirl the smoke around and then touch his hair. And compared to how you coloured the other hair, I like this hair du a lot better than the other one by how it's coloured...as in I think the drawn aspect of the hair is nice but it's even nicer when colour like it is....

.........
Hope that made sense.

yeah I used a very brushy... brush on the hair to make it kind of like strands, and drew out the pieces of air instead of just a flat mess haaha


thank you bb

As I've already mentioned, the smoke is beautiful. I loved that you kept it looking almost like cutouts of tissue paper. It keeps it subtle, but as part of the picture and still recognizable as smoke. The colors of the background impress me as well. Just having that warmth in the bottom right corner adds a lot to the atmosphere of the image that I wouldn't hvae expected. it makes it seem more full and rounded, if that makes any sense. The 843758435 are definitely a plus, too ;)

The only thing that really stands out to me needing to possibly be fixed would be the nose, but it seems like it may be a stylisting choice. The way you've shaded it almost seems as if it's sinking into the face rather than protruding outwards, especially when it's lined with such a bold black. However, it does bring attention to the face as well, which is never a bad thing.

Wonderful work. Gotta favorite it :)

thank you! I tried to make the smoke more detailed but I felt it took away from Tin so I decided to keep it pretty simple.

the nose is definitely stylized, and I totally understand what you are saying about it sinking in. I think maybe I oulined it too darkly, as well, which draws more attention to it.

thanks bb

I think you're definitely getting the hang of it :O Though I never thought you had an issue with digital work in the first place... I really dig his deathly pallor, it really goes well with all the damn cigarettes he's got going. And that really subtle BG. Nice job.
