Artist's Comments

Kurapika = sexy. In the original sketch I did he looked a lot more angsty... now he looks like he might be enjoying himself ^_^

I really worked hard on the colouring this time. I have trouble with knowing where to put the lights and shadows, but with practice I hope it will eventually come a little easier.

I chose this title because I think that as horrible as Kurapika's past is, in some ways he holds himself back and limits himself because of it. The chains that bind his enemies bind him as well.

Chain brushes from a website called in obscuro which has lots of pretty brushes.

I do believe that you used brushes for the chains, yes? And those brushes also ask you to give credit to them. You might want to do so lest you get in trouble.

You should credit the artist for their work first before giving telling them what to do. That's the first rule to critisizing art. Something so small as using a brush for chains isn't too much of a deal. If there's a particular artist who made the brush for the chains, then you should credit them. Otherwise, thousands of artists on Deviant Art would already be in trouble.

Haha, yeah, I thought so. I blame the fact that he's sort of blushing ^_^*

It's nice of you to credit the website you got the brushes from. You make great use of them ^_^

^o^ I can see from you other pieces, you really did put effort into coloring this one. Great stuff ^_^

Doesn't matter, someone was kind enough to make those brushes, and they asked to have credit given to them. I simply pointed that out, and the artist was kind enough to give the credit. Don't pick fights on her deviation, rather, use the notes. You're spamming. :thumbsup:
