Artist's Comments
this is my character Spike, who some might remember from my previous comics. He's a bit older here though.
Didn't take more than a couple of hours to draw.. and that's basically all I had to say about this picture. oh and btw: smoking doesn't make you cool, kids! D: Spike (C) Elise M.S. 2009 Daily DeviationGiven 2009-06-17-Spike- by *nocturnalMoTH I think this is a really nicely set up portrait- The mood is set so well with the grungy textures, and the splatters create an interesting balance of positive and negative space. Nice character design as well! (Suggested by ~riolu and Featured by ^Katmomma) Comments  really? gee, thanks a lot ^__^-- "Don't Ever Judge Me..."  I like a lot
  "oh and btw: smoking doesn't make you cool, kids! D:" ahh beautiful message xd -- Wiii ! no tengo firma ! omg .. si tengo   This is beautiful. In a sad way.
He looks a little worried, and it's blood everywhere. -- Me about amazing stuff: [link]  looks awesome, but the coloring on the tail looks like it wasn't cleaned up like the rest of the image, I kind of see some wierd edges on it
-- Nothings easy. Ever.  going from seeing the sam and spike comic, to this is like wow o.o O.O
great rendition on his older self ^_^ smoking might not make you cool but with the right character it makes them BADASS. Great job once again, -John -- “I believe that the sound of racking the pump of a shotgun is universally recognized as ‘kiss your ass goodbye’.” 8/15/2007 bungie update... love this line  He's so cuuuute! I want to cuddle him!
-- ~Deanna Rodriguez Blessed by a Pally  this is great!
-- well isn't that just fun on a bun!  You did such an awesome job on the blood on his shirt
 Also I just love the dark background! Say, have you used brushes for the blood or have you made it by yourself? It looks so excellent ~  -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» »»Sometimes I look at my own face »»And I don't know who I am »»I see a face of everyone I know »»Buried underneath my skin »»I don't want to be like them »»I want to crawl back in »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» ♪♫ |

Critiques
For the body shape and structure, I give it an outstanding. The shirt and coat drapery gives him that perfect bad-boy look, and it's very realistic. I have one minor anatomy hiccup with he neck right above his shirt being very thin and ropy. However, that's probably more of a personal opinion, rather than technical flaw, so if you were shooting for "emanciated" (or maybe very thin, wiry?), then you hit it spot on. It just stands out a bit to me.
The shading and texture is perfect. I love the overall look and feel, with the various shading of bloodspots (almost suggesting repeated assaults over a long period of time).
A very dark piece, but even more interesting is the total contrast of his expression. Very cool, and collected. Bored even. And yet his eyes, looking off to the side that way suggest a bit of sadness (or meloncholy?). Or, with how they are pointed, maybe even that he is ashamed that this is the image he gives everyone? Not sure.. so many interpretations!
Anything that makes me think, look at it, think again I think is an awesome picture. Brings out the creativity in everyone if it makes the appreciator think. And this deviation DEFINITELY does for me.
Bravo!
