Gaia Avi Art

--Reason--
This is actually my current avatar on Gaia Online (hehaku tokuo being my username). I decided to try out doing "avi art" and I believe this was a good try for my first attempt Another reason why I did this was because I needed something for my hour drawing in art class. So yeah XP

--Artwork itself--
For the most part this was pretty easy since I had the chance to refer to my avatar itself. This took about 2 & half hours. The easiest part being the eyes or mask, and the hardest probably being the hair.

Used Photoshop 5 only

--Notes--

I hate the split line down the mask, but I wasn't sure what to do :/ I didn't exactly want the instant change between them. But I may later go in and modify it a little.

A small detail I added were the slashes around the eyes. They aren't actually on the mask itself but I found it a nice touch and a bit personalized.

Please comment good or bad. I'm trying to get better with my shading by hand and avi art.
