Description I don't know why... but its far too easy to picture Luke being able to play the piano. Inspired by the piano pieces on the anime OST named after said redhead.

I really love how the background came out in this picture. Admittedly Asch's pose looks kinda odd and awkward... but I failed miserably at fixing it and thankfully it doesn't detract too much from the overall picture.

OoO I actually worked with a light source *falls from chair in shock* lol - I actually really like how that added to the picture.. something I will definitely try to remember for next time.

Other than that~ braid! ponytail!

I kinda think more that Asch can play the piano. Cause what with Luke learning the little things and becoming such brat in 7 years, he probably said f*ck the piano after failing at three lessons.

True but I'm sure at some point his father would have put his foot down to Luke doing absolutely nothing every single day. He would have had to acquired some skills befitting his position other than his studies. Natalia probably forced him to learn how to dance too.

I dunno .. after all, his Dukeness kinda ignored the son "who wouldn't live long anyway", so he probably thought he'd just keep him in until Akze and to hell with his personality and skills. Although Natalia forcing dance lessons, yes, that IS likely ..

Yes and no - Duke Fabre did show that despite knowing Luke was going to die, he cared about Luke's appearances as a child of nobility - hence why he (through Ramdas) is telling Luke not to hang out with Guy or be friendly with the servants because it's not "befitting of his station"

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe Damn straight Luke would be able to play the piano. I believe you actually took a picture of Luke playing Mirrors last year

I really enjoy the detailing you did with the grand piano. It looks really elegant. Though I think the angling of parts of the piano are a little low, it still looks really awesome!

^^ Thank you~ his outfit is intended to be the same as Asch's in this picture only with the colours reversed~ if that gives you a bit of an idea.

I love how you can do EPIC backgrounds. If I had drawn this, it would have been the piano floating in a white background.

^^ Thanks! I really want to try and work on my backgrounds, and making them a part of the picture - especially in terms of lighting. *nods*

See thats great!! I'm always like "NOOOOO!! I can't do it! I worked so hard on the drawing I CAN'T wreak it with my bad backgrounds!!" and so I never learn.

darkangel6 In reply to RuinedBloodShed [2009-05-10 21:19:53 +0000 UTC]

well it helps if you go into the drawing with the intent of doing the background. *nods* Or maybe roughly layout where the characters will be, but then do the background first and draw them on top.

Mayrune [2009-05-07 15:28:29 +0000 UTC]

It oddly reminds me of my picture with Asch playing the piano. Maybe Luke decided to respond!!

It's very well done and you're right... Asch looks a bit weird...

darkangel6 In reply to zelos22 [2009-05-07 13:10:54 +0000 UTC]

XD well I figure he's got to have been drilled in at least some of the things that go with nobility... and if it was practical he'd be slightly more inclined to learn. *nods* I figure he can probably dance a pretty good waltz too. (I'd blame that one entirely on Natalia)
