KrisCynical — Stealing a kiss...

Description This was inspired by a fic that I read the other night called "Mischievous Kiss" [link] where Inuyasha secretly watches Kagome in her sleep and ends up kissing her. While the fic itself has a humorous end, I hung on to the feeling in the middle when he's contemplating his feelings towards her.

I've never done a pic like this coloring-wise, and I'm happy with how it turned out. It'll probably be wallpaper soon.

If a guy I was that into woke me with a kiss, I'd be a little more welcoming. lol

awww man! I had wanted to to a story when I saw this picture. I was instantly inspired to do a one-shot... and then I read your summary to find out it has already been taken (its so hard to come up with original work nowadays)... I LOVE THE PICTURE THOUGH! YOU ARE A GREAT ARTIST! and I have already been inspired by two other pictures! keep up the good work, and I would love your approval to do the stories too! of course your magnificence will be accredited.

Feel free to write a one-shot for this pic (or any of my stuff) if you want to! The original thing that inspired this was done YEARS ago and this wasn't meant to be exclusive to it. Just please don't re-post any images without me knowing.

Thanks for the compliments.

I saw in the last comment that the link this picture relates to is out of date. I checked it out myself and I think I've found the story at [link]
I hope its the right one ^_^ In case you wanted to read it again. It was very nice, and your picture really captures that moment well.

The fic site apparently either reorganized their servers or else the original author took the fic down. Unfortunately I no longer know where the fic is. : \

I always loved this picture! I never knew it was inspired from a fanfic. The link won't work for me for some reason though...

Can you send me a different link, please?

With the way that fanfiction.net changes their URLs and such so much, I sadly do not have the link to that fic anymore. : \

Ooohhh...this is absolutely beautiful...then again, I've had a very healthy respect for your work, ever since you pop up on DA a few weeks ago. ^_^ There are so few people who convert anime to realism, and I've been addicted to beautiful renderings like this for a while...it really shows skill and knowledge of anatomy conversion, not to mention overall feel and familiarity with characters. Your grasp of emotion and composition are breathtaking, as well as being able to manipulate colors and shades to pull off the necessary ambiance. Gorgeous, GORGEOUS picture as always...this is definitely going into my favorites. ^_^ Thank you for sharing it with us!

DQBunny [2004-01-26 20:11:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh WOW!

I'm the author of "A Mischievous Kiss" and someone e-mailed me to let me know about your artwork. It is absolutely fantastic and just the image I had in mind when I pictured Inuyasha kissing Kagome in the dark. That is an absolutely gorgeous picture and I'm very honored and humbled that my story inspired this picture. ::HUGS::

Your other artwork is also very beautiful. I love the picture you have on your main page for "Golden Eyes." The color scheme is fantastic and really appeals to the designer in me. I'm also glad that you got everything with DeviantArt straightened out.

KrisCynical In reply to DQBunny [2004-01-26 20:41:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you're the author? I'm glad I was able to remember which fic it was from then. ^_^ I had read a whole bunch in one evening and they all got muddled together except for that one scene. I'm obviously a sucker for IY/K stuff, so I really loved that fic. Oddly enough your theories about IY's feelings towards Kikyou vs. Kagome are identical to the theories my mother and I have talked about many times. (Yes, I got her hooked on the series as well... lol)

DQBunny In reply to KrisCynical [2004-01-27 16:37:03 +0000 UTC]

::laugh:: I haven't even tried getting my mother involved. I insist on watching stuff subbed and I don't think she'd like that. I did get her to listen to the Rurouni Kenshin OVA soundtrack and she did like that.

There's a neat essay regarding the Kikyo/Inuyasha/Kagome triangle on FF.net by Julia: It's All A Dream. It's fantastic! That really backed up a lot of the feelings I have about their respective relationships. I recommend it.

You wouldn't happen to be able to directly link me to that, would you? I tried searching for it by author and story title, but came up with nothing. I'd really like to give it a read.

DQBunny In reply to KrisCynical [2004-01-29 22:33:42 +0000 UTC]

I checked her name at FF.net and for some reason she took the essay down! Gah!! ::falls over:: Gah, I guess she wanted to pull it and revise it. Her other stories are still up though and all of them are very beautiful: [link]

This is the type of picture that just gives you all those fuzzy feelings and bursts with emotion. I just love this so much!
