The Sky Arc . . .otherwise known as L'Arc En Ciel.

I have wanted to do a complete tribute to the entire band for SO long, but never had the time or means. But upon having this new technique introduced to me, I realized that the time was now.

If I may, let me present to you:

Top Left: Hyde, Vocalist
Top Right: Tetsu, Bassist
Bottom Left: Ken, Guitarist
Bottom Right: Yukihiro, Drummer



This was so much fun to do. The portraits themselves were completely done by hand, no Photoshop whatsoever. (It was only used to place the scans.) It was done using an ink wash technique using white gouache. You can learn how I did it and do it yourself by checking out the tutorial!!



Since the originals are no good (warped and whatnot from the water), I will be doing some limited edition 'prints' of these, composed on thick matte board. There are only seven total, and four are already sold, so if you are interested, act fast! They may not last long.



Coloured version can be found here.


Time Elapsed: 5 hours
Size: N/A
Materials Used: Waterproof black ink, white gouache, 4-ply illustration board, Ebony pencil, photo reference

:Shock: o.o o.....m.....g. :+fav: !!!!!!!!!! That is so awesome!!! Everything just turned out so well!! I'm so jealous. I stink at portraits. Awesome job!!
by the way, Tetsu looks REALLY awesome. Tetsu is so hard to draw (at least for me...)
GORGEOUS !! ( hope there's no spelling mistake ) I LVOE LARUKU AS WELL and this is really beautiful, just like all of the things you create ! It looks like a photocopy really ! :worship:
Well, I did scan in stark black and white, so you can't see the irregularities of the ink or gouache as much, so they do look more like photocopies. ^^; But if I make a tutorial about how to see it, you'll see how it's like! Thank you so much!
