Description PLEASEEEEE let me know if he looks like he's drooling instead of bleeding. I will refine it immediately!! D:

I wish there was more art of Kariya ;____; He is so neglected D: KJJDSFKAFJHALKJFAFJAF

Anyhow, le favourite character from Fate/ zero~ I have this crazy attachment to him as one of the more 'human' characters in the series :L

First full semi-realistic attempt from mashing together whatever experience I have gained from my attempts at drawing miscellaneous people and characters with direct reference OAO
The scars were tempting and new for me I FEEL SO BLOODY GOOD ABOUT THIS.

... Although I am starting to feel horrible the more I look at it OAO

I'm still inexperienced when it comes to colour and lighting, so have some greyscale and RANDOM BLOBS OF LIGHT And unfortunately I didn't learn how to draw lips and noses even from finishing this D: noses are still tubes with 2 holes in them and lips are perhaps hairy slugs DD: I was aiming for a pained expression, but heck, even in my manga style I can't draw expressions well :/

Time taken: ~ 4 hours with SAI. (from the actual sessions I timed :L )

i cant really believe how you got so few comments on such a great work. But jes there should be way more kariya fanart out there, since he was the guy i think everyone cheered for to win. Back to the art^^ : I have to say that this looks quite cool. There are a few things i think you have done perfectly, for example the scars on his left side are just the right amount to bring out his suffering. Another thing thast pretty cool is that you didnt try to make this a colored drawing since grayscale fits kariya way better. The only thing i think i really have to complain about would be his right eye. I personally think that it shouldยดve been a bit more...dead, but because it has a pupil and so on, it feels a lot less "unnormal" and gives his face a facial expression that is focused on his right side. But since his right side should be aralyzed it feels a little bit odd. Aside from that little minor flaw i think you managed to portrait Kariya extremely well keep going man

The length of your comment certainly makes up for the so few comments I've received 8D It makes me so glad you has so much feels about this version OH MY and I do see what you mean now that you point that out about his strangely .. normal-looking eye when it shouldn't be D: I'll keep that in mind; thank you so much for pointing that out

Oh, sir. Love it. The blood looks cool. If you're not sure you can make it a bit red or darker. But I think it doesn't need changes
