Forgiven

White Tulips mean forgiveness, purity, and serenity and are used when pleading for a new beginning

Relevant because despite the fact that Aphrodi beat the crap out of Endou via goalie abuse and did a lot of other socially unaccepted things (like sending an entire team to the hospital), the latter still showed no hesitation in trusting him and allowed him to play on Raimon against Diamond Dust when he requested it

I've wanted to do a serious picture of Aphrodi for some time now ^.^ He's a favorite of mine, he's just so elegant and bad ass. Seriously, go listen to his theme---> [link]

But damn was this hard. I had to do the glass window without the use of the Pen Tool in PS because PSE DOESN'T HAVE IT (Seriously, why. Every time I need a specific tool my version of PS just doesn't have it). And half the glass window I worked so hard on got covered up by Aphrodi and his anatomically incorrect wings anyway (not like I could help those, you can't really stick to wing anatomy when there are six of them on a small body lol). I'm still not totally happy with the overall look of the entire picture >:I

Actually one of the most time consuming parts was just trying to get Aphrodi's composition balanced. The original sketch actually didn't have as many details because I wanted him to look humble, but still have a somewhat god-like appearance. But then I realized that I had him tilt his head towards the side with most details, which caused an unbalance. So I had to add a shiz ton of extra stuff to the other side But it didn't really help orz

Actually come to think of it, Aphrodi recruits Gazel (who has white hair) and Burn (who has Tulip shaped hair lol) for Fire Dragons... combine the hairstyles of those two and you get WHITE TULIP OMFG

... That was a stupid thought.
