Yes, I am fully aware that he is a freakishly unnatural shade of blue. I colored this with my only shade of real blue, which is really dark. I lightened it with my blender (thanks to rabid_child for the technique!), then tried to lighten it further with Paint.Net. He still looks weird, but ok XD I bought the manga and received it last night, and I've been drawing various parts of the manga, trying to get a hold on the style. This image had no ref used, but I made the mistake of drawing it in the car >> Inked at home, I used the hatch marks they use in the manga for his tora-ge coat. Not sure if you can really see it or not, but ok. Gin (c) Yoshiro Takahashi. Image (c) me. Copy any aspect of this image (character, image, tracing, etc) and first, your ass will be sued and kicked by the Ginga fans all over the world, and then... You ass is mine. Your soul is mine. Your fate is MINE.
