First off, this is a birthday present for metalmallow!
it's yet his b-day yet...thats on the 24th, but he told me to submit it early if i finished it, so here it is.
This is also going to be my first entry in the vectorness monthly challenges, and it's for the month of august with the idea "color outside the lines".
Okay, so he wanted a beck wall, and my original plan was to do this elaborate concert scene and make it kick complete ass. but, i'm really lazy, and i've been working a lot, so i had zero motivation to do it. So, after flipping through my sketchbook earlier today, and admiring my sketchiness (not something i do often) it hit me.
sketchy.
what a pose like that needed was lots and lots of movement, and nothing shows movement better than sketchy. mostly gestures, but i wanted you to be able to tell what it was, and when i do gestures, yeah, you get movement, but it's too simple. so, i used the scan that i had intended, and quickly traced over it, keeping my lines free and fun.
it all evolved from there.
Thanks to whiteblaze, highknees, and JTsang for their help
and to wacom for kicking so much ass and making me my pretty tablet :D
and for those of you who don't know, JTsang has joined me and whiteblaze on pixelated graffiti! So, welcome JTsang...and don't feed the whiteblaze :3
for some reason i have "Marching bands of Manhattan" by Death cab for Cutie on repeat. I'M NOT EVEN EMO!
again...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY METALMALLOW! (Hold till August 24th and release)
EDIT:
i didn't include koyuki's face for 2 reasons. i actually hate the way it's drawn in the manga half the time (especiall on this cover) and for design purposes. the face just didn't show the movement the way the rest of the body did. actually, the face was rather static.
