Wow, it's already the final night? It...actually seemed to go by slower than I anticipated. Anyway...
I had been taking a long time working on this one, SO YOU BETTER LIKE IT, OR ELSE!!! = D:< Ha, kidding. I started the lineart for this while I was waiting for my English class to start. I was inspired to draw Zane from the Song of Ridley manga immediately after seeing him. I thought it was funny how they made his hair look like dread locks. So suddenly Zane is Rastafarian. xDD Another thing I thought funny is the way he would stroke his beard...hell, I've got a whole list of things I think are funny about this guy. That's why I love 'im!
The colouring was the biggest job, as always. I had spent so much time on Zane himself, I was almost not even thinking of doing a background but I changed my mind and I'm very glad I did. I used the cutscene where Jack reports back to Zane after capturing Fort Helencia as a reference for his house and all that...of course, me and my dirty mind saw the ivy leaves behind him as marijuana leaves. Rasta Zane loves his pot.
