Artist's Comments

Kamina from Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann.
I still consider him the hottest male in anime. :D Not liking my previous attempt too much, I tried to do him justice in a more realistic style.
He doesn't look very amused. I love Kamina's insane grin, but somehow couldn't get one fit here.

Textures are from Mayang. I might've overused them, but I just kinda figured out how they work and couldn't restrain myself.

Done with pencil and Photoshop.

Splendid work dear! At first I was little worried would you pull it off with more realistic style, since as we know - muscular arms and shoulders are hard to draw. The picture looks very cool, I like the grungeish lineart mixed with gray-brown color theme and textures. If there's one thing I'd change it'd be the splinter marks on his face.. on the other hand it's kinda cool if you know the story of Gurren. Great work :heart:

A stunning portrait. The colours are very harmonic and I don't think that you overused the textures, you just gave the image a old canvas-like feeling - as if this painting had been somewhere for a long time. Anatomically this is top notch and the expression you chose shows the other side of this character.

Although Kamina could be seen as a goofy and almost irresponsible character who was always having a laugh he still had his calm and ankward side. Here he seems to be pondering something very carefully :D Furries maybe but maybe he's about to give Simon a lesson of something very important. A heroic portrait-- instant fav.

Thanks hon! I kinda understand the comment about the splinters, but then again I'm trying to think that nothing's sacred when it comes to dirt and grunge. I wanted this to look like an old painting, but maybe the textures seem too fake after all...
:iconsakur:
Naww I don't think they're fake. It kinda gives Kamina nice in memorian-touch or such.
:iconnetherflux:

Ka..ka...KAMINA!

Every time I see him I shed a tear. He is definitely a character that will never be forgotten. His personality is brilliant and even if he is an idiot he also has a serious side. Geh, I could gush about that man 24/7.

But on the picture, it looks like one of those portraits of royalty that people have as you know, historical images and portraits. Though I guess, I'm not too keen on seeing him so serious. Doesn't quite feel as like him as I figure. Whatever, I do like him tho. A lot.

Just..WHOA. You did this one so well. o_o
I simply love his face. The style you used on this drawing is really interesting. Just.. shit.. I can't describe with words how much I like this one.

I don't think you overused the textures. They look great! They make the picture look like if it was painted on a wall. It's almost like a really beautiful graffiti.

Viimeiaikoina olen kiinnittänyt erityistä huomiota just Kaminan hiuksiin eri fanarteissa. Tässä ne ovat erityisen onnistuneet (...nuo meistä katsottuna oikeanpuoleiset töyhtöt... hummmmmmhheheh >:3).
