You know he’s a bad man. In a conservative place like Japan, tattoos are taboo and that particular kind is a sign of yakuza.
You know that he could hurt you… he probably will, but you don’t care. You’re hurting anyway, so what’s a little more pain? And besides, maybe it will help.

(some artist commentary under the cut!)
It was really nice to be able to take my time with this! It’s been a while since I’ve done a painting without a deadline looming over me. Working on this really just. helped me shake off a lot of the dust on my skills.
Ryuji himself was painted on one layer, and the background on a different one. Doing digital paintings on one layer makes the process feel a lot more traditional. I try to avoid using the undo button whenever possible and instead just continuously paint over mistakes or areas I don’t particularly like and redo them.
