Darker Than Black by starmasayume
Commission for an anime I was always interested in but needed the motivation to finally check out!
Sketch
I put off working on this for sooo long, but sometimes you need to kick artist block to the curb and just draw. I had a rough sketch of their faces but ended up scanning and finishing the sketch in photoshop. I think I'll end up moving his mask to balance the composition better.
Color 1
Things are getting messy... I put down blotches of colors to have an idea of what I want and a base to work form.
Color 3
Kept changing his arm back and forth but felt the composition was lacking when it was down. Added some base shading.
Color 4
Now this art has been sitting on my computer for nearly a year. I made a huge mess of all my layers mixed together and had to struggle through.
Can't wait to see more! I was always surprised DTB didn't take off better here. (it's one of my favorites!)
@marshmallowjelly I know I agree it needs more love! I was surprised how different it is from the manga which was cute and had the same elements but so short with even a different female protagonist. Enjoying the anime so far. I was always intrigued by pictures and clips of Hei, he just looks so kick ass in that mask! I like that he's not a cold blooded killer though and is moved by his emotions too. And his daily persona is rather cute too... <3
Oh wow, the mixture of blues and pink highlights really gives it a mysterious feel. Looking good so far :D
It's really interesting to see how you're laying out lighting early in the process! I can't wait to see what it turns into :D
I saw this one on the AANI fb page! The messiness looks cool! But, I feel that there's quite a bit going on with all the color specks so far.
