Full view please.

6666 <_< >_> <_< >_> What does that mean!?!?! OMG IS IT THE KIRIBAN THAT'S LIKE 40 WEEKS OVERDUE!!! Uh huh, well, I decided it was time to get it over with, so voila. Spent a few hours drawing and coloring it here and there until last night and all of today, two moments in which I broke my back and finished this! Yup, yup.

Good news: experimented on a new technique... GRADIENTS!

Bad news: There is no bad news. o_O

Yup. Anyway, here's to who got the 6,666th pageview when the year was still young. His two characters, the Jester and the Mortal Death. He let me experiment with color and design, so that's what I did. Mortal's clothes aren't like that, but since Jester's looks like... well, a jester's, I thought it would be fun to make Mortal look somewhat like a character from the past. For the scythes, I didn't have any reference when I drew them [in all honesty, I forgot], so basically I made a simple thing, and both characters' have similar designs: Jester's is shorter, think projectile, people, projectile.

Oh yeah, I also modified Mortal's hair a bit. Dunno, the way I drew it as it was originally just didn't please me enough. [One reason why I kept drifting away from this, too. See? It's not just procrastinating!!!]

Oh, also, they're suppose to be constantly fighting [right? gee, I hope I remembered this right.], so I had the idea of the Jester having an upper hand [he just looks more evil], which brought the idea of 'Jester's Bait' and the intertwined sickles.

EDIT: Before you tell me about it... yes, there are different lightsources for each character.
