Gijinka (Sword): I Am NOT Dead

Description

...and apparently, neither is warpy ;]

Damn, how long has it been since I've drawn a proper picture? Part of this concept was born solely because of that frustration in not being able to do so; this roughed up sketch was one of many that I drew with the intention of coloring and putting up. The last three pages in my sketchbook are filled entirely with expressions practice of Sword and Blade, many of them like this one -- heh, I'm not even kidding.
Concept: I imagine Sword to be the kind of individual that just never, ever gives up. Whether it's good or bad -- reason and common sense do little to sway him. A lotta times I find myself envying that kind of determination...and drawing it out helped me in reclaiming it.
Perhaps when I'm not running on sleep-deprived adrenaline (and when I don't only have an hour and a half to draw something), I might come back and revisit this picture to clean it up a little. I had my sudden bout of inspiration and it's run its course, the next time it comes around I will surely catch it again.

Oh, I also love the irony in the making of this picture -- while drawing most of it I was listening through tracks from UNDEAD CORPORATION'S album "私はもう死んでいる?" ["I'm already dead?"] on repeat. Irony is a funny, funny thing. Ahem, Kirby fanartists that draw their fanart to death metal, please raise your hand x]

priorities, what are they

The expression. Just. So. Fitting.
How did you make the background come out like that?
And the blood. It's done very well, but not over the top, and just... works. Perfectly.
