Weeb Art - Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya from Sword Art Online
//
(It was going to happen someday. Just don't downvote solely cause "SAO bad"
Remember:
[b]This isn't about SAO, it's about ME![/b])
//
[b]Kirito[/b]
Just bend over and call him "Jesus-kun" cause not even near the end of the FIRST season, this guy uses the power of will and friendship to completely [i]reject reality and substitute his own![/i]
In the second part of Season 1, he is literally an [i]angry nerd with admin privileges![/i] HE PHYSICALLY SCARS A GUY THROUGH VR [b]BY TURNING UP SENSITIVITY!!![/b]
The next Arc, he tries out being a Trap... in a gun game too... ima gloss over that
Next Arc is about characters they try make us care for, dealing with real life things... in a Shounen anime. [i]It's so deep it loops right back around to being stupid.[/i]
After that we get a movie! Now, [i]you don't need to wonder where your God is. Cause he's right here![/i] ... they gave him an OP sword and promoted him to God-kun for getting exercise and "beating" a fictional monster in a park.
After THAT, he's hospitalized, "isekai'd", and plays [i]Slay the Spire[/i].
But hey! Good news! (Spoilers if you care)
[spoiler]In [i]War of the Underworld[/i], he becomes a [b]Veggie-to-ble[/b], giving side characters [b]actual screen time! [/b]
Good job Kirito![/spoiler]
[yes I riddled that section with quotes from SAOAbridged]

So I had this finished for quite a while, but it was for a non competitive competition so I was just waiting for someone to post their side of their art.
[i]Beside the point.[/i]
The original finished product (before I refined the finish) had plain shading, the shirt was... meh, and the hair was a solid grey and black shading.according to the reference picture. (Look up kirito sipping tea) not to mention my background wasn't really finished.
-I didn't like it.-
So, I added another lighter set of shading to the face. The shirt, I had to look that up and found out that it was basically a jacket...
The hair.
The original hair shiny was garbo ngl, so I decided to take it into my own hands and just erased the right side of each strand by a bit. After some experimentation, I had finally gotten a handle of the method and soon, Kirito had some silky bangs.
The background actually looks better once I added detail to the logs, thiccness to the frames, and something outside by literally rubbing the blender everywhere in circles...
I realize the head is a bit smaller, but honestly? It's kirito so I don't give a Femb[i]o[/i]yHOOTers about his body proportions.
G'day
[spoiler]dunno what next... maybe my supplies this time?
I skipped a day for a reason...
Cause I had nothing, didn't draw nothing, and basically forgot to do something...[/spoiler]
