Artist Comment

you think i only draw cute girls, huh? well, think again...

remember the guy(Kyle) i drew in those colored artworks? well, in my manga, he's already dead in the begining, leaving poor Elle forever... or is it? well, he was revived using a forbidden technology(like in gungrave) but he has no memories of his past life(as in tsubasa chronicle). and of course, he's gotta have other dead friends... like Ariel and Cliff.

well, for this one, i refered to a gungrave artwork i had. it's pretty much the same, but with my own characters. i think the flames are done good enough, but i don't think i did the blood stains on the scythe well.

maybe there'll be an update. the worn out effects on the giant handgun doesn't turn out good enough too... the shape of the scythe is a little bit off, or maybe i could come up with a stupid excuse like 'it's made out of bones, okay?'.

there are a lot of details... you might want to download to take a look.

so, mind commenting on this one?

UPDATE:
1. added blood stains to Ariels clothes.
2. edited the blood stains on the blade
3. changed artwork name.

    hes got sephiroth's shoulder armor. nice fire. You should use a compass or circle template for the scythe though. The shape of it is pretty off. The blood is pretty good i think. the level of detail is awesome. its pixelated thogh. you need a better scanner.
    nice chain. mine always look pretty terrible.

    I think you should do a cg version of this. just my suggestion.

    wow lot of detail. i like white hair guy's expression, details are well drawn. i agree with phoenix about the scythe. coloring is well done, anyway i think you did great job. but i never have expect to see this style after seen so much of your other drawing style with cute girl.

    Eheh you already gives all the flaws of your drawing, it's no fun for me, i can't search for them lol

    Anyway, i that some kind of giant gun Kyle is holding? I like the movement suggested, that they kinda emerge from the tomb, with all the dirt and pieces of rock and chains everywhere.
    You should have called it "smileys army" or something, it's pretty funny. Though the girl holding the scythe is a bit too much, especially the little bat wings. otherwise her outfit is okay, but the scythe itself looks weird, like it has two blades.

    It's a bit messy as well, but it fits the action very well. oh, and i like the bullet shells ^_^

    Good job again, no lovers anymore *kill kill* XD

    Wow, there is a lot of details and you did recreate the original GunGrave artwork to something really fun too look at. :) I like the little smilies. Your coloring is very detailed as your drawing and the fire effect looks great. ;) Very nice job with drawing your characters in this kind of scenery. This is very cool. Keep up the great work and continue working on your story too.

    This is an incredible piece of work. The thing that really catches my attention is the fire. You went in alot of detail on this piece Julian.
    Everything looks good, but like others pointed out, that scythe looks kinda wierd. I suppose it's really no big deal right?
    Also, the clothing is just cool. And did you get the shoulder armor from Sephiroth?
    Well, great work over all. Keep it up. And I hope to see more pieces like this from you.
