I picked up Deathnote #13 last weekend, and I've been inspired to make an L character ever since! Yea L! ^^

Here's my take on Deathnote's L, (version 6). Got more work to do on him, but I'm liking that freaky stressed-out no-sleep look. -^

Making a realistic version of an Anime / Manga character gets even more complex when there's already been a live action movie with L. What I tried to do here is stay true to the original idea for L, based on information provided in Deathnote #13:

1) The creators said he was 25% Celtic, 25% French, 25% Japanese, and 25% Russian.

2) Those are supposed to be dark circles under L's eyes, not eyeliner. So how do you make a realistic L (with dark circles under the eyes) look like L we know from Anime and Manga, and the Movie? I tried combining the 2 styles for my L.

3) The initial sketch of L's design by Takeshi Obata reminded me of Sebin! L's design changed after the initial sketch, but never-the-less, I would be a fool to not take this gift horse. *chuckles* And I'm convinced only someone with long legs can pull off the L's sitting position and make it look both comfortable and easy. So I'm not going to overthink this one. lol. -^


QUESTION:
1) Is that a t-shirt L wears or is it a sweater?

2) Could reason for the shape of L's, Near's, and Mello's eyes be Hyperthyroidism triggered eye protusion? Could this also explain L and Mello's sweet cravings? [link]

3) Could the reason for L's eye shape be Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder? Could Marfan syndrome also explain the way L sits, and the way he sloches when he stands? [link] [link]

4) Some people think L may be Autistic. I disagree 100%. L does not have trouble relating to people, manipulating people, and thinking fast on his feet. He's classic Enneagram Type 5 personality, The Investigator: [link]

p.s. Anyone see "L: Change The World"? Thoughts?
