eeeeee!!!!! I gots him done! my lord this was FUN! to color!....I was...incredibly daunted...wanting to make sure he looked really nice and whatnot and I kept getting really nervous and flustered about certain parts....took forever working on his muscle tone until I got something I liked then got scared of his outfit then got irritated at working with the background until that turned into something I liked and the spell effects in the end....but yay! ...tis a wrap! hehehehe

ok, so when my friend first said she was uploading this and said it was a drawing of Szin dancing and casting a spell I threw out the name "weave and flow" [after all in FR they call magic "The Weave" in its essence and dancing is often described as weaving and flowing so yeah... hehehe ] and was happy to help her in naming it....then I saw the drawing itself and my jaw dropped. It's soooooo gorgeous! I absolutely love her style for one thing....the characters are gorgeous and artistic and realistic and it's so crisp and clear and just the lines! the very lines themselves enthrall me!!!! and then put em together to create the images she does?! and woot! *fans self and topples* seriously!....I love love LOVE it!!!! and Szin is freaking HOT! the man exudes confidence and a touch of arrogance and I just love his look--I call his facial structure a rather "Lockwood look" and it makes me giddy lol--and the expressions on his features....awesome hehehe....he's hot shit and he knows it methinks hehehehe....and just all the movement in this.....yeah....I was pawing the screen and fawning lol ....so I jumped at the idea of asking if I could color it and was absolutely spazzoid happy when I got permission! It was such an honor and a blast to work with hehhehehee [oh and thanks hun for putting up with all my nagging questions each step of the way getting nervous about making it correct! lol]

I'm really happy with how he turned out hehehhe I really hope that you like it and I did him some justice/credit!


fun fact: I made the color of the spell the color of Shiz's eyes...and then the accents are the color of Szin's eyes....as to sorta make it like he was wreathing himself with reminders of Shiz...and keeping himself wrapped about Shiz as well.....ok at least, that was my "romantic" notion and idea behind it hehehehe (and the background is to represent his house colors of black dark blue and silver)



colored in PSP7; got it up to 14.7 MB with like 8 or so layers; worked on over 4 nights or so on and off not sure the exact hour count but rough guess of 10-12
