COMMISSION INFORMATION: [link]

4,5 hours and 49 colors later I'm done with the coloration! YES, only the coloration! I did the linearts some weeks/month (don't remember, actually) ago but I didn't find the time to finish the whole piece.

Now... I feel fine with the result, even though Ryu looks a bit pale. I even don't know what he's doing there, posing in a forest with some wild animals making... light? At day time? Well, it's Ryu so why do I wonder at all >.>

Btw those little animals are exclusivly done for the Shin world x3 I'm pretty happy there are no normal and real existing animals there! The left thing on the knee is a Squirby, the thing on the buttom is a Rodex, the lizard is a lizard but I don't have a name for it's species yet aaand the little bird is a Blue Feather Paradise Finch (lol) o^o

Oh, the four colors in the corner are done intentionally: Red resembles fire, blue resembles wood, black stands for water and white resembles metal. The yellow-ish - gold frame repictures earth... All those elements are part of the 5-element-study of China and play a big part in the SHIN Saga ;P

Memo to myself: I probably should draw the sword more often ÔO I still have probs with it's proportion!

Just to memorize: You are not allowed to use the character neither the picture for any thing. The character, animals and the story of SHIN only belong to me >.>

Memory #2: I need to practise leaf shadows o.o looks awful

I love your shading, and the highlights from the fire~ I also like his expression and the little animals ^ 3^ The angle is interesting and i like the little details like the stitching of his clothes and the border design~
