Description A Tropical Summer [Contest]
Click DOWNLOAD for PSD file

"Feeling as serene as the blue sky."

Decided to join this contest as an excuse/motivator to draw fanart, and one of my favorite anime pairings. Oh, and to give you all a break from my blue-haired OC, Lily. LOL. I quite like how the background came out, the vector/gradient-like quality. -nods wisely- x]

Yes, I dig Mimato. The epilogue of Season 2 does not exist to me. If you disapprove of this shipping, feel free to go elsewhere.
It's quite odd though, that Mimi would be one of my favorite characters considering:
- I dislike whiny people--at least she improves in season 2
- I dislike people who only think about their looks (and I'm tomboyish myself, so it's odd that I dislike Sora)
- I dislike pink, even though a lot of anime characters I like have pink hair. =.=
Ah well, maybe it's the fact that I dislike Sora and the whole "love" crest that I prefer Mimi. The fact that Sora has the love crest and basically has both the lead males attracted to her is just too cliche/stereotypical for my taste! =.= Sincerity is such a cooler crest. Yeah, I'm just ranting now. I have nothing better to do for the description. LOL

Anyway, enjoy! PSD and WIP files coming shortly!

WIPs & Technical details:

Very basic outline of how I went about making this piece.

And I too agree that Sincerity is a cooler crest

beautiful they both look great. Your details are stunning and I want to jump in the water. I don't know if you've seen the original Japanese but she has the crest of purity there. her and Joe had their crest names changed.

dawnshue In reply to MystressVulpes [2011-07-23 00:22:17 +0000 UTC]

sankyuu~! I'm happy you like the background, they're always the most difficult to do, so it's great when fellow deviants notice it! :]
Ahhh, I didn't know actually, I went by the english version since that's what I grew up with. But thanks for letting me know! Both crest names sound cool in my opinion anyway! ;D

I'm very much digging your coloring :] Beautiful I love how manly Yamato looks. And the crest-wearing on Mimi's behalf is really neat :]

I pretty much agree with your favorite character points, haha. It's interesting that Mimi is one of my favorites from this series as well, but I guess it's because she was one of the ones that actually had development whereas Sora didn't have much

Also, Mimato ftw

dawnshue In reply to Pan-kuzu [2011-07-23 00:20:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment! Haha, yeah, Yamato has such manly abs. LOL =uuuu= And yeah, usually I'm too lazy to do jewelry, but I figured I should do that to emphasize that it is mimi/digimon-related. xD I was going to do one for Yamato too but it stuck out unnaturally.
Yeah, I hope I like her for her development as a character. Otherwise I really don't have a reason for liking her so much more over the other female leads, except maybe that she's more fun to draw, haha.

And awesome, glad to meet a fellow mimato lover <3 I hope I have the time to do more mimato art to spread the love/publicity ;]
