So this is actually a complete overhaul of This MABPOL Kozi picture that I did 10,000 years ago. Incidentally it's also my absolute favorite digi painting that I've done as of now. Could be my bias toward Kozi. It was late and I needed something to work on that wasn't a commission since I'd been messing with them alot, I needed something fresh. This came together surprisingly quickly, I think mostly because Kozi himself was pulled from the original picture and I just completely redid his face and his upper body. The background was fairly uncomplicated so I was free to concentrate on him and the masks/random fox. Don't ask why the fox is there...I don't know. It was just adorable and fennec foxes are my favorite animal ever.

Incidentally this was also my first time messing with lighting and it actually came out wonderfully I think. I'm SO happy with this. If his face looks off or something it's because it's nearly impossible to find pictures of Kozi that aren't whited out or slathered in makeup so I had to improvise. He doesn't provide very good reference. >_>

FULL reference used for the masks, of course, and for the fox because I suck at doing animals from my head. Fox reference: Here

Closeups:

Face
Fox
Mai Hannya

Also, the two masks are there to represent Kaoru and Kyo. I didn't realize till I did this that both their masks are kind of a reflection to who they try to hide. Kyo hides his weaker feminine side and Kaoru hides his aggressive side. Curious...
