Wow, this really caught my eye - great light-dark contrasts going on here! I *love* the way you've drawn the fabric - it looks really real and kinda shiny... ^^; The closest I've come to seeing these guys perform is the TV screen - must be fantastic seeing them live! Anyway, great pic - the 6 hours were definately worth it!

Ooh very nice texturing on the cloth :). The hakama? is rendered so shinily... I like it :). Also, very nice sense of strength conveyed. Taiko rocks ;D There are some rough spots (penciling outlines near the arm might be a bit too dark and so might draw the viewer's eye too much), and forgivable errors with shadows/lighting at a few points (i.e. the shading on the drum seems a bit inconsistent with the rest of the image? :O), but again, this is a lovely image a whole :heart:! Hope you don't mind the crit^^;.

Wow that turned out great! I am loving the shading on the cloth and the rendering of the light on the muscles of his arms. Gorgeous!! +fav!! My first fav in about 2 weeks :D I love the guy's strong pose as well, nicely chosen!

I bet it feels good to be finished! Especially when the result looks that good! You should be proud. ;) I hardly ever finish pictures, it's a really bad habit.

Maybe you're right about the pencil club - it might make me finish more stuff?! I'll give it a try. I hope you're right. :) Thanks very much for the suggestion, too! :D
