Artist Comment

A remake of the previous one.

Since the lecturer love that pose a lot, I decided to use it for the final artwork. This is the aftermath of a battle between Reis and a certain someone, and the rain started to fall. I love sunsets =)

Comment and critique me. I appreciate them.

Reis (c) Pursuer Of Darkness/Julian/Me

ps: Full view please=)

EDIT: Profile for Reis


Real Name: Reis Valentine
Age: 22
Date of birth: 14 September 2023
Place of Birth: Heliopolis, the United Territory of Helios
Height: 175cm
Weight: 58 kg
Blood type: O
Weapon type: Various gun class weapons
Weapons: From Reis with Love and Adoration (.45 auto), Rapid Kisser (sub machine gun), St Valentine (revolver), Silent Romance (silencer equipped pistol), Femme Fatale (machine gun), Grim Affection (sniper rifle), The Great Passion (shotgun), Keen Attraction (missile launcher), Absolute Devotion (anti aircraft cannon), Dearest Darling (Gatling gun), Fancy Fireworks (grenade launcher), Deep Fondness (anti-tank rifle).

Reis is born on the battlefield, whose mother was a paramedic and her father was a soldier. She witnessed many lives lost, her mother was killed when found treating an enemy soldier, and her father died protecting her. After her parentsâ? death, she was raised by her fatherâ?s best friend, Jonathan â?Jonâ? Warbeck. She was trained in firearms by Jon, and she learnt fast. Her childhood was rough, as any child her age would have their will to live broken. Jon died in battle when she was 14, and she was on her own ever since.

Now she was a mercenary, taking up jobs involving dangerous missions, from supporting troops in war to assassinations of important people. She had never lost in battle, until she fought a mysterious man known only as the Pursuer of Darkness. The battle caused her the loss of her left arm. She left the battle, barely alive, but swore to have revenge upon the Pursuer of Darkness. At this point, a spirit appeared. It was known as the Oathbreaker. The spirit offers the power of void in exchange of Reisâ? unusable left arm, which Reis agreed.

The power of void forms in a spiral of black smoke in place of Reisâ? lost arm. But this power comes with a price greater than her lost arm, as both a blessing and a curse. Once in a while, Reis will experience pain from the battle with the Pursuer of Darkness, and every night she had nightmares of her suffering from childhood.

Wielding the power of void, Reis was able to use a lot more weapons. She was able to summon guns out of thin air, and capable firing multiple weapons without laying a finger on the trigger.

Little did she know that the power the Pursuer of Darkness wielded was far more greater than her own.

EDIT 2: Note that this drawing is done on A3 paper, which means it is double the size of the ones i usually draw. It's hard work srsly.

Julian1 does it again with his piece of paper and colouring pencils.

These days, we are so used to seeing high quality CG's and vector artwork, we miss out on the fantastic pieces of artwork such as this. It's full of detail, and the individual sketch marks create an atmosphere that is unique. The shading work is exceptional and overall, it's just one professional piece of artwork. Awesome job julian1 (again) :)

    This really is a great pose, I'm glad you used it. That must have been one intense battle. The city is trashed XD Do you have a website describing your original characters, or a story about them? I would be interested in checking it out.

    Simply amazing julian! As I said on the other one, great character design and history! As always, I love your style of shading/coloring... and the rain effects are great! (And I figured out what that line was... her hair! Hehe... ^_^') Definitely worthy of a fav from me! Keep up the great work! :D

    Amazing artwork!
    The shading is really nicely done along with the colors^^

  7. Anjhurin Apr 22, 2007

    That's a nice introduction to the character (i like to get info on the drawings ^_^). I really like your signature (especially that head of yours ;)).
    Anyway, nice battle field scenery, it's good that you added it. The character is still as cool as she was before (and her breath shape has improved it seems !). Nice way of focusing the attention on the statue with its glow.
    Thumbs up and fav :D

    Great work julian! ^^ The design of the character is great and I love her pose, she looks really strong and tough. The coloring is great as well as the shadowing, and the rain effects look good. I love the destroyed city too, it's very well done and the angel is a nice touch. Nice work!

    I won't say very much about this beautiful work on your part. You must have had one helluva dream the night before ! :) To put his onto paper/ computer screen, you must have been inspired. This is truly a work of great inspiration. I feel very priviledged this evening to see this. I thank "MiniTokyo" (the staff for allowing all viewers, including me :) Thanxs for the share !
