Description My two original characters, Xerxes (girl) and Reu (boy). The two are off walking and talking about dragons and other fantastical creatures while on one of their rare day offs.

Story: (if anyone cares XD)
Xerxes and Reu are both royalty from neighboring nations. Although Xerxes ia actually illegimate, but nobody knows except for her and the queen (her mother), but she's dead. Reu actually doesn't want to rule and was trying to run away during his coronation ceremony, but he bumped into Xerxes and that's how they first met. They ended up fighting, causing a commotion so the guards found him. They later found out that they were betrothed in order to combine their two nations. Xerxes hates how Reu refuses to be king when he has the choice to, but she, a female, can only rule through marriage. Instead of marriage, however, the two decides to co-rule instead so that they can each do whatever they want. Xerxes is your typical tomboy femminist and Reu is your reluctant, shady prince who has no interest in the throne.

Typical shoujo story right? >_< I'm so unoriginal... Hehe... and easily influence by all the fantasy shoujo mangas that I read. Some of them are so corny, but you still love em *nods*

Spent ALOT of time on this. Procrastinated my homework to draw it, haha. I'm still doing good in my class though! Yay! Xerxes's face was such a pain to draw. I kept making it either too long, too short, crooked or deformed some other way... T_T I also had problems with thinking of a design for their clothes. I tried to mix western clothing with a bit of oriental style. I think it came out a bit weird... o_O

drawn w/ tablet and ps 7.0

I like your story! At least you're not making their fighting last for 20 eps/chapters, they seem to be getting along fairly well at the moment anyway.

I like your coloring, very beautiful shades and colors. My personal favourite is Reu, his blouse and hair look very good.

Thanks! I like Reu too! I put so much effort into Xerxes, but she didn't come out right.... -_-'
