Description
woah that took me some time, but I was enjoying myself through it all so hey. :'D

download for full! (fullview is less than 50%, and it looks heaps better)

L. outlines referenced, so to keep the style, but then I shaded and so on on my own without reference (= good practise), trying to mix my own style of semi-realism with the style L's originally drawn in. and I learrrnt much through it yes! and the skin was so much fun. and I shaded with blue cause I've learned that you shade with cold colours and highlight with warm colours yayay.

and the hair. was a lot of fun. and the eyes. adding the blackness beneath them was a whole experience of OMGYAY for me. |D

hmmm I want the eyes just a bit closer together now when I look at it, but ah wells. :'D [link]

oh and I know the neck and hair seem oddly large but it was like that on the reff and I never fiddle too much with things like that |D I just changed his expression a bit here.

and I din't know what else to do for a background no. but I felt it was kinda appropriate, with the old-ish colours (parchment) and the fact that he's a detective (fingerprints). c:

approx 8-9 hours, photoshop

I OBVIOUSLY had to draw L as a tribute ;o; the series wasn't the same at all after he died </3 baaw. but at least he got an appearance since he was the last thing Light saw before HE died. which was so slashy, by the way. slashy pic is in order, but that's for later.
