Description So... here he is... my Nihlus. This took me way too long... something like 2 hours drawing, and 10 hours coloring. or something retarded like that. And then like 5 minutes doing weird things to it in Gimp.
I hate Gimp.

I also hate that my camara sucks and washed out the color horrifically. It looks like 300000 times better in person. Sad.

But there you have it. I'm damned proud. He's damned sexy. It all works out.

Nihlus Kryik belongs to BioWare. And Obsydian Shepard. he's not dead, he's in her cabin.

You certainly have a beautiful way of technique and coloring. I Think this came over very well done. I love Nihlus and you captured him perfectly!

Im a big fan of colors. And since Nihlus was all sorts of colors, im glad you did it in colors rather than in black and white. Shading is breathetaking. Im not a very good shader myself, but you did an excellent job@

I cant wait to see more!!! I really cant, This is soooo going into my favorites and you will be watched and stalked more and more until you get suck of me!

Aww, Nihlus. His "right after the beginning death" (with Jenkins) has always surprised me. I know it was to introduce Saren as the big bad boy, but the poor turian dies so quickly after you met him that it's a waste to me. It could have been fantastic if, like in ME2, there was a kind of mission counter during the game which would allow you to save him or not.

Great work on this one. And I understand for the washed colors. Even when scanned, pictures look awful when on the computer screen^^

Have you tried to put the drawing under a strong light? I know if I don't take the picture when it's very sunny, it will be blurred/darkened/... (That's why I try to not use paper that will be too huge for my scanner^^)

Ah, also saw this on Calibrations! Love it!

I remember firing up Mass Effect for the first time and seeing Nihlus and thinking, "Oh, wow, I want to romance him!" And then he died and I was sadface. But then we got Garrus and I was

Well, I can honestly say I think I'd prefer to see it in person (as color is 300000 times better then)...

The coloration is good. Not quite what I expected. I LOVE the eye. But, as a whole, I'd suggest working on more of a 3D... thing...

Like, you have shadows and highlights, particularly around the color, but adding an "invisible spotlight" to somewhere in the picture would probably greatly enhance the view. Overall, great. But *could* be spectacular.

thank you for the honest critique. i'm pretty new to the whole 'coloring' thing. lol. if you notice my gallery is full of rather black and white line-arts. i see what you're saying, and i will keep an eye on that in the future.

Pretty! I guess I need to play this game.

The shading is excellent. I hate it when a picture/scan just doesn't do the original justice.
