"Jin at 40" preliminary sketch

Like an idiot, I did this really really quickly with a pen! Duh! Should have used a pencil... I hate it when I start doing something and it actually comes out looking half decent and I can't even clean it up. lol

Jin you're so hot, even at 40. *0*

[aruarian_dancer]

Methinks he'd be hot even as a clean shaven monk. XD

Ooooh, so beautiful! This is a lovely start! :D

[aruarian_dancer]

Thanks! Yep, I think this one has potential. XD

He's just plain yummy! You said something dark and the first thing that enters my head is a deep red. Cause that's a totally mugenish color plus like the pale pink blossoms against it. lol But in order to pull that off it'd have to be the perfect red. Aaannd there goes my brain thinking too much. Jin's hot in anything! lol Black would most likely be something he'd wear as he got older. Can't wait to see this all finiiiished! XD

You've seen that full-color weeping cherry Jin pic Yuho/Saimin published in "Kaleidoscope Syndrome", right? When I saw that, I was like, "Wow, this is freaking gorgeous!", but at the same time, "Damn, she beat me to it!" lol XDDDD So I'm humbly working on my own stuff now. Worked on the clean version while watching/listening to SNL tonight. I was originally going to do this with a moon or moonlight background, but... cherry blossoms. (Couldn't resist!)

A perfect shade of burgundy would work with pink... He'd look so nummy in burgundy or deep plum. Heck, with his looks, he could pull off any color. True.

LOL I do think I remember that picture!

I was watchign SNL tonight until they made Hugh sing about lamps D: I just couldn't anymore. I knew if I continued I'd never be able to watch House again without seeing huge scary lamps. :X

Ooohhhh yesyesyes either of those would be perfect! And also yes on the true! lol

Oh good god, this is SO beautiful! Pen or not or cleaned up or *.* Damnit! You're awesome!

[aruarian_dancer]

You are too kind, T! Thank you!!!
I got the cleaned version of line art done while watching SNL tonight. I'm about to scan and post it. (I changed the mouth a little bit to give him a bit more of a "smile"... It's tricky... I'm nervous.)

[kogepant]

Don't be nervous. You have angry skillz, y0. <3

[aruarian_dancer]

Hehe, I love that "you have angry skillz"! XD

That saying would make a cute T-shirt.
