Log Horizon - Akatsuki

Description

I was chilling on /w/ and decided to visit the IMT to check out some of the pictures.  I stumbled upon this one, and liked it, so I did it.  Nothing too difficult, but the coloring took longer than I wanted it to.  I did mess with gradient meshes more though.  The pants, shirt, and face are all partly gradient meshed, mixed with solid shadows.  I swear, I am going to be using this in every vector I do from now on somewhere or another, haha. I also edited some of the coloring, mainly the skin, hair, and orange armor.  They were all faded in the original so I made them more darker and rich.  I think I did a good job, but every monitor is different.  All in all, I had a good time with this one.

The dropbox link will contain a couple variations and different resolutions.
