411: April 11th 2010

Yay! A deviation after such a long time!

I based it on the face cards of a deck of cards (duh...) Useless info: Vexen's shawl is based loosely on the design on the Queen of Diamonds, for no real reason.

I wanted Marluxia's clothes to be a bit military, a bit aristocratic, but at the same time to incorporate the essential...I dunno...Marliness. The fabric of his top is supposed to be velvet...which I pretty much failed at, but nevermind. I rather like how the rose came out. ♥ As for Vexen, I wanted his clothes to be a bit like a royal magician/high mage. When I showed it to my sister, she said he looked like a Malay warrior. That's kinda cool... Maybe next time I'll do it on purpose too. Lol. I LOVE HOW THE BLACK LOOKS AGAINST HIS SKIN!! He was supposed to be wearing ice blue and sea foam green, but I accidentally streaked black on him and then it hit me! Why did I never notice how lovely he looks in black?? His uniform is black. How did I miss it??! I'm never going to let him wear colours again! ♥♥

My sister also said that there's something wrong with Marly's face. I can't see it. Is there something wrong with his face? I gave him a stronger jaw and no double eyelid, and you can't see his eyebrow because of his hair...is that what's wrong with the picture?

Happy early 411 day everyone.



Took about an hour to sketch and six hours to ink and colour.
