The Dark Side of Hikaru Shidou

Hot damn! Long time no art eh?

Finally got to finish my 2nd entry for Trial by Comics "Inks" contest of @kommienezuspadt. This is also my entry to @varunpaherwar 's Anime Art Contest Week 2.

Well what can I say, these are amazing contests so I'm joining both! šŸ˜

Say hello to Nova of Magic Knight Rayearth. This is Hikaru Shidou's dark self manifested!

I used an unbranded gel pen for inking plus Sakura Pigma brush and Stabilo Pen 68 for the black parts. My step by step process is as follows:

Here is the face and some hair. I don't have any guidelines, if anyone's looking for it. I only did pencil guides for the arms and the lower body but I forgot to take a picture.

It disrupts the flow when I stop and take pictures. šŸ˜„

Anyway so here's the rest of the drawing process.

Wanna see me drawing it? Here you go.

And lastly, this is after I added some of the darker areas and the long hair.

And that's it!

The final art is the 2nd image from the top.

The reason I chose to draw this character is because I've been finishing up on some anime I haven't seen the ending of. I have several in line because, hey I got the time. And also I've been thinking about how to face our dark sides and all that shizz.

How'd you like it? Here's that 1st image again, it's just a bonus edit for ya'll.
