Fanart50 Theme 7: One More Inch ("Tentative")

A tentative (first?) kiss...

Yep, definitely the types to take it (pathetically) slow. And since she's bolder and more open about her feelings, Anli takes the first move – albeit more like an uncertain teenager with a raging crush. Oh wait... XD Fortunately for her, the feeling is mutual on his part. ^^

On an artistic note, went for something simple and intimate (again). More kissing (again; most of that is on Inner Universe *shameless*). And woo! Random, ghosty-looking Mana Spirits! (A Salamander for Anli, A Wisp for Escad. Yay!) No seriously; they're completely random. I have no idea why they're there or even why I put them in. XD And more messing around with colors. Now with colored lineart! All and all... This makes Cheetah a happy, fangirl-gushy Cheetah. ^^

Materials: Paper, Pencil, Sepia-toned Pigma Pens, Photoshop CS2
Music: "Forever May Not Be Enough" – LIVE; "Little Light of Love" – RXRA

Very sweet scene!!! :heart:

You only have eyes for that blue, blue sky
You know if you can just make it through, you'll find what you seek
So keep trying to break free to that blue, blue sky."

It's been a while since I peeked in, but I must say you're coming along well :)

I really like your line work with this one =D

And the effects... I always wondered how to do effects like that =0 it flows really well and is like a nice frame for them~

I also like how you shaded and used highlights here. And uh... is this the same girl I saw in the other two pictures? XD

Thanks! XD

The spirit "effects" is just some simple brush work - specifically using a lower opacity brush and building up on it until I get something cool.

And yes it is the same characters from the earlier images. They're characters from Legend of Mana - Escad and "Anli" the Heroine (nameless hero-type), and they're my One-True-Pairing. XD I can't help myself but obsess over 'em. XD

Nah, I ain't weird, crazy nor odd. I'm just unpredictabley eccentric!

See, the way you describe the spirit effect makes it sound and seem easy XD

It also sounds like something I'd have to play around with until I get it jus right :nod: thanks for the tip!

ROFLIRL~!! I understand how that goes, everyone has a couple from a game, anime, manga that they support~

Hmm... "Anli"? That's her name? =0 if so, it's quite interesting =3

It is. It's also hugely fun and really helpful. And you're welcome! XD

Indeed! XD EscadxHeroine/"Anli" is an "oddball" pairing though - not a lot of people like it because, well, Escad's a bastard. XD But for some reason, I have a bizarre thing for fictional bastards. XD Well, not a complete bastard persay - he's just a misguided sap! Lol. XD But I love him anyway.

Yep! The Heroine can actually be named anything you like in the game - I just like calling her Anli. XD

*giggle snort* fictional bastard... misguided sap... such names make me smile IRL XD;;;;;;;;

Aw, I think I like that type too XD;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; that's why I like characters like Ban Mido from GetBackers, Kyo Souma from Fruits Basket, and Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. Not to say they're all necessarily BASTARDS, bastards XD;;;;;;; but they do have bastardly tendenceies from time to time. Which I find to be endearing qualities, I guess because their enteractions with other characters can prove to be comical XD;;;;;;;;;;;;

Oh, I almost forgot Sanzo and Gojyo from Saiyuki, tho Sanzo, half the time, really jus doesn't want to be bothered with anyone XD;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; a character from a video game that I really like who I think also fits that characteristic is Ryudo from Grandia II. Gawd, he had an attitude toward jus about everyone ROOOOOOOFLIRL~!!!!! But he had a good heart, jus... didn't really kno how to get along with humanity XD ah, lovable, tho. And very memorable :nod:

Woo, I've rambled on here :rofl: and oh, 'The Heroine' is jus a general title for describing the main character who you play through the game XD gotcha, it all makes perfect sense now~ =3

*grin* Yeah, they're fun characters. XD Guys like Escad would piss me off to no end in real life, but for some reason, I adore them silly in fiction. XD And I've noticed that too! All of the "bastard" characters seem to have adorable dorky traits to them. Good thing, since they would get on everyone's nerves if they didn't. XD So I'm convinced Escad has some of those tendencies as well. XD

*SQUEE* Ryudo! Grandia II! Oh how I love those games. XD
