Swords

Yup. Creative title, I know

This is my OC, Chris, based on one of his early designs, where he was a swordsman. I had a really hard time with this drawing ;A;  Tried lots of new stuff. First of all, yellow (O__O) I always have such a hard time with intense warm colors. I think I redid his shirt about five times. Failed in my attempt to not include blue, too //bricked. And I've noticed that my gallery is sadly lacking in guys, so I figured it was about time to draw a guy again. I also tried a looser coloring style instead of blending everything smoothly. I really admire artists who can color/paint loosely without making it look sloppy, so I wanted to give it a go. It was hard, but I really like it XD I think I'm definitely going to try it again in the future. At first, I started doing this in a more semi-realism style, but the look I had in my mind was more anime, so I redid his face probably seven times until I got it how I wanted it. I dunno why I have a harder time coloring noses anime-style than semi-realism. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? And I really need to work on my sword drawing skills (TT_TT)

And there's random shards of glass because why not?

So, yeah. Probably about enough of my rambling. Feedback/critique is always welcome~ Hope you enjoy ^_^
