Revengeance

Description

Raiden a la Metal Gear Rising; Revengeance. Why take revenge or have vengeance, when you could have REVENGEANCE! Seriously can not wait for this game.

Anyway I've fallen in love with ink after not using it for around 10 years. There's something about the permanence of it. Working with a medium that has consequences. No erasing. No re-dos. The style I've attempted here is like that of Metal Gear artist extraordiniare, Yoji Shinkawa. Don't look him up because you'll quickly realise how poorly I've emulated his style.

I'm going to be selling original ink pieces like this at future cons, starting with Perth Oz Comic Con in March. If you're planning on attending Australian cons in the future and want a commission sorted let me know:)

Japanese ink brush pen, watercolour pencils, sable brush and H2O on Bristol paper.

Okay, let me start with saying that overall this is a good piece.
As you said in your description you tried to recreate the style of Yoji Shinkawa.
Although very close I think you should have gone for a little more diverse color pallet. I'm not talking about all the colors if the rainbow, but more the blacks that tend to go towards a darker type of green / blueish.
He also tends to use these colors more in his painting, whereas you used it more as line-art.
The hair would have had the most positive effect with that approach.
Don't let this discourage you! You did an awesome job and I merely see these things as pointers if you wish to get closer to his Y. Shinkawa's style.
It's still an awesome piece of art <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)"/>
