OMG a submission from me! *le gasp*
I can't believe it myself.. meh... xD
Well... I'm still all... unable to work out any proper artwork on Photoshop, so that's why I'm still stuck with trades and commissions I still got left to do.
It really seems all I'm able to seriously work on is traditional art. It's really sad for myself, too, because there are many things and effects you - well at last I - can only make with graphic programs but not with traditional media like colored pencils or copics. I know people who ARE able to draw such "special" things with traditional media, but I'm not one of them... unfortunately... |D

Anyway, let's get to the picture:
I don't quite know what exactly made me want to draw Luther. I just remember this picture suddenly popping up in my mind and I had to draw it.
I've drawn so many MariaXLuther pics and I've seen so many pervy pics with Luther, but I have to admit, I mostly like this cool version of him. It's just... cooler! xD
GRENADES FTW~ 8DD

And I must say I'm damn satisfied with the result. At least concerning the pose, because it came out almost as well as I imagined it. Which is rare for me! x3
I mostly adore the way the jacket came out... and his expression~ owo
I could hit myself a thousand time though for forgetting his glasses! xD I have drawn him I don't know how many tmes but I keep forgetting details over and over again XDDD
Though, in this pic I prefer him without glasses... somehow... I tried adding them afterwards but it just didn't fit... *shrugs*

I originally intended to color this with copics, but as soon as I had done the lineart I wasn't quite sure about it anymore, and shortly thought about leaving the lineart as it is. Then I thought about scanning it and trying to color it on Photoshop, but that evening my tablet didn't work anymore, and I would've had to restart the PC, which would've taken pretty long again, so I just dropped it.

Then yesterday I looked at the lineart again and told myself "Girl... you will color this... now!"
So I took out my copics and did so.
I did quite some mistakes on it, though not as many as usual, like accidently taking the wrong color and so on, but this time I was able to fix them with my white gel pen~ *hugs it*
Yet, I wasn't very satisfied with the color I used for Luther's fur, because it was DAMN dark and there are stripes seen everywhere, but I noticed that as soon as scanned, it didn't look that bad anymore, so I just dropped the fixing this time and started with a random background.
Random, yes, but I think it fits it~ x3

Well then, =Shadowhog you've seen the lineart, now I hope you also like the final result~ owo
Thanks again for the subscription~ x33
