Art Trade for ~cahir-the-witcher. :iconcahir-the-witcher: It's their character, not mine.

He was fun to draw, but making the black braid visible on a black shirt was a #^*#%*$^%*$$*.

I did not expected that, but do not worry! It's not the case of something being terribly wrong - just different. It's always interesting to see the transformation of comics into realism. it's like a friendly butt slap...

I found it rather noteworthy how you managed to notice how I mostly try to make Kajetan's (yellow/amber) eyes as something that should be of significance! believe me, it's very hard do it in black-white comic! it's great! I though you would go either for full blown colours or monochrome. I was somehow hoping, for a short period of time, that you would try to 'battle' with his scarred arm, although I discarded that idea as of battling with semi-burned scars in realism would be a little bit too much for 'just a trade' but I love that you all in all you included that there is 'something wrong' nonetheless.

It's interesting how on first glance it's just a simple portrait, but more I look at it the more I am able to pull out of this simple picture. to tell the truth, I think I already would be able to draw a (short) comic out of it! maybe one day I will...? for sure I'll be 'coming back' to this picture in times of artistic doubt :D to experience that friendly butt slap all over and again

to shortly sum things up I'm happy how our trade turned out! it was an honest, good trade! wish I had more of such hi-quality trades! :D

and yes, drawing black on black had always been a challenge but very rewarding id it turns fine!
