Marik's Back

Description

This is Marik's back ^^ A very muscular Marik that seems to lack tatoos... yeah, it's Night Horrors (my fic >.>) Marik, and I can't help but feel like people will be dissappointed by that.

Reference: :iconjasonaaronbaca: Jason Aaron Baca (model) [link] Photographer: [link]

Texture: [link]

I was really happy with this until I compared it closely to the reference and started trying to tweak things and tweak and tweak and... it was a vicious spiral. I did come away from it being suprised by how simple it is to smudge-shade realistic-ish skin. Seriously, give it a try!

I've also realised I have so much to learn it's kind of daunting. But hey, I'll try to learn it while doing some scenes, with backgrounds, meaningful expressions and purposeful poses! Because I miss doing that ^^

I've got one more of these I'm finishing. It's Yami ;)

Please critique! Especially if you have tips for back musles (Because I was just going 'bump, bump, dip, bump' >.>) :heart:

[ACK! Again, I don't have the link to the brushes (I think it's the same brush set I used with fem!Touzoku-ou. Still searching for that website!]

I like that his tattoo is missing because to be honest I hate his tattoo XP
