So if any of you have seen my Shoba or Ronan characters, I imagine this guy would fit into their world as well. I didn't have to do as much research to choose a name for him, though, it just popped in my head. It's pronounced the same as Aarron or Aaron or whatever, just a different spelling. In my imagination, this character is some type of king. I'm not sure just what kind yet x)
Anyways, I thought I'd post the final picture and also the orginal sketch I did on paper, just because I can and some people might find it interesting xP
Reviews would be awesome!!

GASP! Stunning! Even after all your work that I have seen… it still manages to amaze me! Yes the first thing that came into my mind was your ronan and shoba you should write a story about them!!! OHH YES!!! And now you should make your stunning female characters??? Im sure you are going to be puuurrrfect at them all! His hair!!! Oohh im in love. Just one thing… the shirt at his back… lol that’s one skinny guy. Maybe you should make the fold a little less… folding on, on the inside.

Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.
The only thing I see wrong with this piece is that his jaw seems to stick forward a bit. There’s nothing wrong with this, it makes her look tougher if anything. Her clothes look rough. I believe this is good, it kind of tells a story, and perhaps this person has been in many fights.
I’m a little confused as to whether this is a guy or girl. The hair kind of suggests it’s a girl but the body is not overly feminine. This is just my opinion though. Ok I just read that it was a guy and now I feel stupid. Remember I’m not exactly an artist, and art is art, so don’t take my opinion personally.
His outfit is really cool. I want it. His posture is awesome, to me it says ‘I’m bad ass.’ And the gun to the forehead, sweet! I love how his coat is flowing around him. Nice shadows under the face and in the right places. Hair’s cool.
I wish I had your talent, honestly I always love your work. Both the sketch and the final product is amazing. You never cease to have great work!
So overall, I love it, and I would hire you if I could to make my own characters come to life like you’ve done here. However, I’m a poor bastard ha ha.
If you want me to review anything else just say the word and I’d be more than happy to.
Great work, from Em. XD

Ahhhh amazing amazing amazing, I love it!! Love love :3
I'll go from top to bottom! Because then we can start with the immediate molestation of his hair >:3 I wanna touch it. I WOULD TOTALLY MOLEST HIS HAIR. IT LOOKS SO SOFT AND FLUFFY, OH MY GOSH I JUST WANNA TOUCH IT. LEMMY TOUCH IT, LEMMY TOUCH IT. *runs into computer* Daww >:[
But seriously I just love your shading, missy! It's brilliant, as always. Like asdfghjkl; oh my gosh, I love it, Oh-Honerable-Sensei >:]
Also, I really like the shading on the skin. Or really, just everything that's shaded in this picture, period, because you're a freaking genius and I love you. The skin looks really clean and bright, and I think the shading on the wrists specifically is really realistic. You're definitely getting there! No doubt.
The only critique I have face-wise, is that his bottom lip is jutting out a little too far. It kind of makes him look like he has an crossbite (where the under teeth are outside the over teeth). Usually I try thinking of it like a slash mark, in this case, a backslash (\). The nose juts past the top lip, and the top lip juts out a little farther than the bottom lip.
I love the clothes, too :3 the texture and design on the shirt makes it look warn, but almost like it's part of the design, like faded jeans, kind of? Where you buy them already with the holes in them d:
I have one more critique, and that's the arm that's swinging back. If you look at the whole picture, you can see that it's a bit too short. I think to help in the future, you could imagine the arm swinging back to his side, and the elbow should be right where his hip is. In this case, it's a little too high above the hip, making his arm look a little stubby.
Hope I helped!! :3 I would just like to take one last moment to mentally molest his hair.... ahhh.... yeaahhh ;P

wow, great job. First off, coloring looks great...love the lighting. (I can never get shadows right..) Love the hues, very subtle and dark Nextly, he looks..kind of like a girl. I think the eye is too big or something. This might lead to some confusion...just sayin.' (And I know, manga is so hard to get just right...) Cool how you just took pencil and colored over the pencil...but you should sharpen the lines a bit in some places. (Like his pistole) Anyway, over all: 8-10. Great job! Love it.
No more countin' dollars... we'll be countin' stars.
The tonal shading is good, especially how you are able to use different variation for the sketch. Just a side note though, as I am not sure if this is intended, but the pants looks like it's going to fall off any moment due to the position of the belt, which seems as though its strapped across the butt O.O
The colored image is truly amazing. I like how you were able to skillfully blend the different colors together for the shirt, as well as the resulting luminescent effect. It had be good too, if you could edit the coat a bit. I understand that in general it's hard to do toning for black garments due to the subtlety involved, but one good idea would be to find images online and use it as references, and if worst come to worst use eyedropper to figure out the exact shade. Have fun drawing
