hey tharrrrr- there's a lot that wrong with it, but I think that the cuts turned out pretty cool-looking-ish, and his back turned out OK; one thing I did 100% intentionally was give him a girly crown. why? because I wanted to draw it :laugh hope you guys like it! EDIT: WHOOPS, lemme explain the jack of spades thing; I just did a fun little DA card thing and I wanted to draw sasuk-ay as the jack of spades.

Really good! His skin and the blood effects are done very well - especially like the drip from his mouth. You gave him a tiara... hmm :) The colors and the shading are very well done.

I really like it. The concept is fantastic and the more fantasy elements really add to it. Great job!

[plumfit]

Thanks so much to both belle and apollo :) thanks for noticing the fantasy, story bookish feel I was going for- I'm really glad you got that, I wasn't sure if I suceeded in that or not xD On a side note, Belle; I love your icon; who did that?

[Denji]

"Fantastic" pretty much explains how I feel. Amazing work!

[Sai]

Plumfit my dear, u know what? i always LOVEEEE your coloring and the sasuke drawing u just did is just sooo AWESOME, OMG u made me wanting to draw Sasuke too LOL and the hair is nicely done hun, i love the lighting effect on the hair and the skin is nicely blender too with some purple tone on it. I see you give SAsuke's robe a nice texture too ^^ good job again *favs in DA*

PS : we need to to do another collaboration ^^ xD

[plumfit]

thank you to denji and clarine! aw, clarine, I adore you, thank you!! :D let's do another collab!

[Reborn!]

Oh, cool. I like how you did his skin. I have to ask you how you did his hair, it looks so amazing. Everything else too.

Kinda girly, but whatever, it's a nice piece.

[Chihiro_Uchiha]

sweet man! Thats was cool!

[plumfit]

hmmm...the hair I always do with some vague steps in mind; I start out with the really stark base color and shape of the hair, and that tends to look like a silhouette of the persons hair, so that includes the sharp lines of single hairs every so often, etc, and then I add the really obvious highlights and lowlights and shadows so I have this cell shady effect look, and that step is really really important because it's almost like a blueprint for where the hair should be layered, where you would use the darker shade for single strands and the lighter shades, etc. basically, I just kind of slowly build up, getting smaller and smaller with the brushes, but maintaining an easy gradient. maybe I'll actually go ahead and make that tutorial...

EDIT: thanks CHihiro!

[Lonely Soul]

You did a really good job! :D

[Yakushi Kabuto]

Ah, really beautifully done as usual. Sorry for the much belated comment, I have been away. His hair looks beautiful with the softness while still retaining the shape which makes it so easily identifiable. That casual look of disdain from under that crown fits him so well. Shine on his skin defining the muscles is flawless, liking that slightly purple tone you used for the shadows of his skin. And that blood! The cut on his back has real depth to it and keeping the red dripping onto his bandaging and black outfit does make it feel more real. Lips are lovely and it looks like he is getting ready to lick them. The only issue I have is with the nose, it looks perhaps a little too flat somehow with the way it so sharply goes upward instead of going further outwards. Everything else is love, even the background, so smooth with that dreamy quality, Sasuke being master of his own solitary realm, hm?

[Ashiya]

Interesting work. And the coloring is very detailed.

[plumfit]

ah! Yakushi! thanks for taking a look-see and your beautiful critique is as stirring as ever! ahh, his nose...with the position of his eye, you're quite right, his nose should come out more from his face- thank you for noticing the shines and shadows! I tried to make the shine subtle enough, and I actually tried coloring the skin differently, so I'm really glad you noticed. the cuts were so much fun! I like drawing 'em. I think there may be some more gentle gore in the next piece I draw, if I ever get time to draw it -_- and thank you Ashiya, for the comment and view! :)

[Raiden]

Wow that was really good. The setting has a truly unique background and that weapon that Sasuke is holding is something to speculate about. Signs of battle, such as the blood, the gashes upon Sasuke's back, and also the blood from his unknown opponent left upon his weapon were all nice features of the pic. Sasuke's current status is also suits him, the shiny metalic eyes, faint blush from battle, and slightly pursed lips with a trickle of blood coming out of them from battle. I liked how you did his lips, putting emphasis on them instead of making regular ones. The shading upon his body was also a nice feature and I'm glad you made the effort to add that instead of just drawing Sasuke.

[plumfit]

oh man, what a nice comment! thank you so much for looking at the details and composition DivineEmperor; your comment was one to rival Yakushi's with it's time, and I truly appreciate it- thanks for viewing!

[Madara Uchiha]

[Uchiha Itachi]

Cool! But the hair in the back is a little odd!

Good job! :awesome

[cloystreng]

The crown suits him perfectly. I love the hair and his expression.
