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


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?
