Death Note Cosplay

This is the 60k kiriban drawing awarded to these amazing people: =witchi1976 and ~dexteritza who both caught it, and also *Coco-zutarafan who caught it at 60,001.

I spent some time on DA exploring self-portraits/cosplay photography from deviants, instead of the usual celebrity, to find a new inspiration.

Both models are the same person, the gorgeous *yuegene. She cosplayed L, but I changed her "DOLLS" photo slightly to become Light - it wasn't planned at first, as I felt like drawing both her photos anyhow.

I'm aware that Light's hair is meant to be brown, and I still need to improve on shading.

Was inspired by constantly seeing Death Note fanart from ~sushihase, ~Marghe-chan and ~Dimaa.
