Description So, recall what I posted earlier today? That eye coloring tutorial thing?

Well, here's the finished drawing from that! (Please forgive the fail!title, as always)

Honestly, I thought my computer was going to crash while I was working on the background. ><;; Then I merged some of the layers and it worked fine. Sheesh, so finicky. It's irritating.
Oh well - at least it came out well! <3 I'm especially happy with her skirt, and the wooden railing thing that she's leaning on.

The yellow light things are glowflies, aka fireflies/lightning bugs, by the way. I never knew they could be called glowflies before - I'd only ever heard the other two terms before. *shrugs*

Now, if you looked at the description for that anime eye tutorial, you'll remember I said I'd reveal who the character is. Her name is Airi, and she's Yori's little sister. She's really good at anything requiring mixing precise amounts of anything, but like her brother she prefers history. She's also an otaku. Now: what anime series do you think she likes best?

Airi's mine, Yori's mine, the art is mine.
No special brushes or anything... just colored in GIMP, outlined in my sketchpad... yeah.

Thanks to my friend Yuni for suggesting blue as the color on the uniform. >w< I'd not have been able to finish coloring this without deciding on a color first, and the blue turned out awesome.

Thanks~!
I'm glad you like the tones in the skirt - they're one of my favorite things about this, too~

Wow, she's cute! <3 She looks a lot like Yori, yay! Hopefully she's not too obsessive over her brother, or it might scare Tsuya off XD

No, no brother complex. She likes to pester him about things, but nothing more than that.

Should I pull her into Cafe Noir? Since Yori's mentioned her and all, and now I've drawn a reasonable reference pic...

You can if you want :3 Hmmmm...You could do something twisted, like make her a guardian, and when Dark Red comes about not only would Yori's sister AND love be torn away, but if she pissed Dark Red off, she might get ahurted D:

(don't listen to that XD I'm evil inside.)

That would be awesome, but... who would she be the guardian /of/? She's better off as a normal human.

Is it okay if, even though she doesn't see most of the images Yori sees, if she sees a faint red aura around Tsuya when Dark Red is being particularly... loud?

Yeah! It's totally cool that she can see the aura. Really, I love quirky special abilities like that. <3 It's not overdoing it, like a sue thing, so it's all good.

Awesome. <3 I'll post her in the morning, then, once I've looked over the profile I've written with a semi-awake eye.

Yay! Oh yeah, and the title to this is really amazing, and you did a really good job, love the skirt, the socks threw me off a little but they're cute too, and, uh, I forgot to fave this. IT'S SO PRETTY FFFFFFF -squiggle-

I hear ya, I'm plenty tired. Yay a new human! They don't do much ._. Huuuumaannn Poweeeerr! *zzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

The title is so not amazing... it's just a little less fail than usual. Yeah, the socks are a little funny... they'd look better if the paper didn't (conveniently) cut off the feet... <3 Thanks for the fave.

Humans do plenty, if the roleplayer can pull them in properly. Look at Yori - he's probably my most important character. XD

Oh yeah o3o and the hair is the quite possibly the sexiest hair I've ever seen a friend draw. Sometimes I hate it just a little because I could stare at your artwork forever. >_< *naturally finds ways to be unproductive and still enjoy her time*

XD Indeed, true! Yori = amazing. I think it's funny, but I'm sure if we had another sinking ships, Tsuri would make it out on top easily.

>< Don't be unproductive - post in the roleplay or something! I'm not trying to keep you from being productive with my art...
And, err, I never meant for the hair to be sexy, exactly, but okay. XD

Yes, Tsuri would make it on top so easily. >w<
