Description Hoolllyy faaaaaakkkkk my wrist hurts ;____; This took WAAAAYYYY too long to complete. Seriously. Aarrghh, I need to work on efficiency >.< I spent hours obsessing over little details that you can't even see anymore after shrinking the image! And I didn't even draw a background.... *hurls self into ocean*

Anyways, 'tis Raito and L from the kickass manga Deathnote. The weird-pipe-wire-dirt-thingy they're sitting on is the result of staring at the contents of my garage for an hour O__o Just...don't ask.

Grass is hard to colour...I had to correct it a whole bunch of times because it looked like hair >.> Oh yeah...if anybody asks, Raito and L are holding hands because THEY ARE IN LOVE AND THEY WILL SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES TOGETHER! 'Nuff said.

openCanvas & Photoshop 7

EDIT: Sorry if this appears in your inbox a bajillion times >.< I was really bugged by the background and the whole colour scheme in general, so I fixed it somewhat. Thanks for the critiquing, Audrey!

AAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!! OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS! I just got chills... I've been meaning to draw a picture JUST like this; a boy and a girl, sitting back-to-back on a small platform, and holding hands. Of course yours is a bit different from mine, but not by much AT ALL. In mine, they're sitting on a rock in the middle of a stream with water flowing by, and the girl is looking away, like the boy is. Other than that, everything is the same! Exact same poses and everything!!! Even my guy was looking upwards like that. What the heck is going on?! *Looks at date* WHAT! I got the idea during a Labor Day trip in 2005! ALMOST THE SAME FREAKING DATE!

Wow. Just... wow.

Sorry, I just find this EXTREMELY weird. What an insane coincidence. I just made the preliminary sketch for my drawing yesterday; if I decide to follow through and finish the image, I'll be sure to send it to you so we can compare lol.

I think this picture symbolises the theme of Deathnote down to a tee It's really really good. I get very sort wrists from using my WACOM tablet... So I avoid it al all costs as still use a mouse to render all my stuff XD

Again, great work!

Raito's how they pronounce it in Japanese...and how they spelt it in the early scanlations of the manga ^^ It just stuck with me.

Even ignoring that eet be a well-done L+Light, I adore almost everything about the picture. The pose, the expressions, and the theme just sell me. <3

awww tehehe their holdings hands. thats really cute.

i love artists like you who take the risk of possible hate comments because of the actions drawn within the image. i respect you for that and even more so because the drawing is magnificent.

are they a couple in the manha series or you just drew them as one?

anyways, great work, along with your other ones.

I've read the first manga of DeathNote...It seems pretty interesting and I liek the art, but I don't have enough money to buy the series, and at the moment not enough time to read it in the store ( )

I like your style. I really do love the way you color...Really nice

*giggles and points at the hands* is he supposed to be holding his hand? I know what you mean about the loss of detail with shrinking...its such a pain when you put loads of effort in and its not visible in the end. But that aside this pic is gorgeous ad the lack of bg suits it. The image would have been too over powering if you had put one in.

I really like how the font blends with the black...cant explain why but i really like it, like its growing out of he frame. You have a really painterly way of colouring wich i love and such cute clothes!! Its such a lovely pic and your floating mound of rubbish just screams Miyazaki...which is meant as a compliment and makes me love your art more...

think ive ranted at you enuf...XD

X3 Thank you! Really appreciate your commenting on all my pics! I love Hayao Miyazaki's work, so I guess that would explain the island

And yes, they are holding hands Shonen-ai forever, babe!

I love that the underneath of the earthy part is monotonous, grungy/earthy red.. too red to be truly earthy, but just enough to be visceral. really great concept!

Le holy beep! O__o This is brilliant ! *eats you*
I think the BG looks fine the way it is.. if the Background had been too detailed, the whole picture would look messy.
I love the way you draw hands and feet. They almost look alive <3
Too cute

Yea, you're probably right about the background... it would take the focus away from the floating islang thingy >.> Thanks for the comment!
