Cristan::Kicked Back

All right. There are two main reasons I drew this:

01. I wanted to draw Cris shirtless to prove that he isn't as much of a twig as he looks like. Kindly ignore the prominent ribs and focus on the abs that I'm so proud of the shading on. _{(Hint: He really is a twig. He's just a twig with muscles.)}

02. Kind of a thank you to all the _{(female, I guess?)} fans of my story who actually stuck with it when I had a six-month art-and-writing block issue. I know a few of y'all out there like Cris in all his eyeless glory. <_<;


I clocked sixteen hours over three days on this fucking thing. x_O;

I know his pants don't look finished, they kicked my ass. The more I worked on them, the more slapped-together and pathetic they looked, so I eventually had a "fuck it" moment and called it done.
Andandand I added the veins and red extremities from his cross-infection! And I didn't forget his nosering! Go me!
... I think his nose takes up too much of his face, but whatever.

I also finally discovered the use of the burn tool. Wound up making the most perfect skin tone for him. n_n;; _{(six years of having photoshop and I finally learn what that tool is for, go me.)}


AAAAAAALSO. Its probably going to look kinda wonky on y'all's screens. My fiance pointed this out after I finished the piece: The colors on this laptop are vastly different from the colors on my desktop screen because of how damn old this laptop is. Fussfussfuss.


STUFF USED
01. Ma brainz
02. Shitty 11 year old laptop that can barely ruuunnn...
03. ...Photoshop CS2
04. Skullcandy Ink'd Earbuds + Cracked PSP 2000 / 8 GB card for music goodness and blocking everything else out.
05. Sixteen hours of my life down the drain for this.
