Description Character reference sheet commission for

I... honestly didn't anticipate how long this would take me The lineart itself was fine, so was the coloring; the headpiece gave me a bit of difficulty, since tech isn't my strong suit. I did enjoy trying to give the blue parts the glassy look (I hope it's obvious, though )

What took a while, though, were the weapon details (I used a reference for that gun), and then working out how to 'attach' them to the character. Again, fun challenges all around for me Although I think I'll be increasing the price of reference sheets, given the effort that goes into them

It was fun to work with, trying to imagine what was under the guy's headpiece (what color eyes, how his bangs look, etc.) - plus looking for gun ref that I could use, and then drawing it at different angles OTL   I prefer the gun-shaped launchers from Beyblade; somehow they don't have as many details XD;  and yes - conquered challenges whoo~! 

In other news, kill me now. I just made a fool of myself in front of David Reale HELP

Heehee XDDD it can be fun, and difficult sometimes, to imagine how it looks under a headpiece, hat, anything head related XD heehee it seems to have worked really well and lol less details on Beyblade guns XD makes it easier to use as well maybe

Oh? It not that bad is it?

Usually, when I design someone, I know what their hair looks like before the hat or any other headpiece gets put on (like Maya, Makoto, and Mizuki - lol all names starting with 'M' ). This time though... hoo boy, didn't know a thing XD;  but yeah, it worked out owo 

Less details on Beyblade gun-launchers = easier to draw  

Hnnnnggg he said something about peeps only secularizing holidays centered around indulgence - which caught my attention first - and then he mentioned Lent as an example of non-secular holiday. I... kinda forgot Lent lasts more than a month *everywhere* and not just where I'm from, when I commented on that tweet OTL  way to make a first impression

Awwwww I get what you mean, lol lots of M names heehee yep it did work out so phew in the end

Exactly lol

And I just had to look up secularizing that shows how well my first impression would have gone down...and awwwww I don't know much about Lent either...oh man, all these things to forget from school cos I'm sure we were taught them Peeps around the internet have said David Reale is a nice guy, so I'm sure he wouldn't judge

Ehehe... well, it's still a little embarrassing, whether he judges or not. But yeah, it was something I just got used to that I didn't stop to think that much
