Deidara: Art Is A Bang

Hey everyone! First, I'd like to say that you needn't fear full-viewing. The past few deviations I haven't been sizing down the pictures, but after hearing horror stories from people about load time I'm sizing down again for better loading time.

Anyway! WOW I love how this pic turned out! Especially since he's been in the anime, I've been drawing a lot of Deidara. And it's been waaaaay too long since I've submitted a pic of him! This is one of the drawings I like the best out of those I've done recently. So I decided to CG it, but I wanted it to look gooood because I liked it so much. So I went out on a limb and tried a new technique I've been thinking about working with and I LOVE the way it's worked so far. There are still fine points to tune, but I definitely look forward to using this style in the future. I'll still cel shade, but this is for more realisti coloring I suppose. I've looked through tutorials and, I dunno I just can't get into using other people's techniques so much. I figure that eventually you'll find your way of doing, though there's certainly no problem in looking to others for help...whoa...rant eh?

Right! Anyhow, so Deidara's got a crazy look on his face and he's saying his wonderful catchphrase, right before blowing something or someone up. Background...I need a lot of work on backgrounds. I didn't want to make it too simple, but I didn't really want a complicated one either...eh I dunno.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this, un!

Art is...a BANG!
