Description
This is a commemorative drawing I did of Akito, to commemorate the 100th aniversary of Japanese imigration to Brazil (I live in Brazil, by the way). Whenever someone asks me "what do you think represents Japan?" I always think of sakura flowers... and Akito XD. I also think about other things after, but that's what comes first in my mind.I tried a simplified CG technique instead of my usual watercolor one.
Media: Black Pen (Lineart) and Photoshop
Fruits Basket (c) Natsuki Takaya
Edit: Note that this pic is NOT a spoiler for Fruits Basket in any way (unlike some of my other Furuba fanarts), so I would like to warn you that not everyone knows about Akito's secret (a.k.a. biggest spoiler in FB), so try to not spread the "news" while commenting my work ^^.
Edit 2: Full-view is now bigger.
Edit 2: FULL-VIEW, PLEASE!

Parabéns aos japoneses pelos 100 anos da imigração ^^
Concordo com vc. Flores de sakura representam o Japão mto bem.
Não sei lá no Japão, mas pelo menos aqui no Brasil, outra coisa que representa os japoneses mto bem são as grandes festas, com muita comida XD

I am quite fond of the simpler coloring style you used. It's almost an art deco style, which is wonderful.

Very pretty, the simpleness in the coloring makes the beauty of the lines stand more out.

I never watched nor read Fruits Basket myself, but this is a really nice picture. ^^ The sakura flowers are gorgeous! I like how you used very subtle shading in this picture, too.

It's a very interesting story, although I do no recommend for those who don't like romance and drama.

I don't mind romance and drama as long as it's done well.

*gasp* Akito is my FAVORITE character! Even though he's totally evil and insane and mean to everyone... But he still ROCKS! And volume 19 comes out in America this month.

Well, volume 19 is a BIG spoiler for Akito, so I think you'll like this volume.

ficou muito bom ^^ celebração dos 100 anos em grande estilo com esse desenho
gostei da técnica de pintura também, apesar de achar meio difícil de dizer qual eu gosto mais XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eu gosto das duas... a aquarela é legal, mas deixa o desenho meio rebuscado demais.... quando o que a gente quer é simplicidade de vez em quando >_<.
