Artist's Comments

Hey lookie it's Axel, everybody's favourite pyro :dance:
The plan is to add roxas and the clocktower and turn it into a desktop wallpaper for all you lovely people.

Whew..my first 100% digital drawing, it's taken me ages and it's STILL going.
It was really hard to translate Axel into this style, because I just didn't know how to make him look pretty without making him look like a girl. It was a battle between femininity and masculinity, and I think I let masculinity take over just a little bit too much perhaps..?
Anyway, drawing this has been a very steap learning curve, I've learned a lot from drawing this picture alone from trial and error, and now I can't put my tablet down - I need to keep practising!
So expect a huge art spree from me while I fall in love with drawing again :typerhappy:

Hope you guys like it so far, feel free to leave comments and such

:heart:

EDIT 1.09.09:
MY LAPTOP HAS BROKEN!! :ohnoes:
This has made me very sad and also very behind in all my art. But fear not, I'm taking it to laptop hospital today so hopefully I'll be back on track this week to finish this!

I did use a reference picture for the face to get the proportions right, but the picture you see there is 100% painted by hand :nod:
THIS is the picture I used from the lovely :iconll-stock:

And thankyou very much! :highfive:
