Ruki by 37minutestomonday on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

お誕生日おめでとうございますルキさん！！！

Yes, today, 1st Feb, is the birthday of Ruki, vocalist of The GazettE and all-around hotguy. WHO I'VE SEEN IN REAL LIFE!!! Seriously, that concert ruled.

Anyway. I am SO incredibly pleased with this drawing. You have no idea. When I first started it, it didn't look like Ruki AT ALL and I was feeling really disappointed. But then, once I'd finished shading the face, I looked at it and just thought: "Oh my god that's the spitting image of him!!!" Usually my drawings look like who they're meant to be, but not quite right... This one on the other hand... I'm so pleased! And I even made him MARGINALLY hotter than in the original pic, which I didn't think was possible Haha!

This took just over four hours and it was TOTALLY worth every second! I didn't have any major mistakes or problems or anything... Which is unusual... Hope you like it, coz I adore it

Dedictaed to the wonderful Ruki and fans of The GazettE!!!
