Description Sigh, Finished, at like 5:30 in the morning right now. I hope not to stay up like this again until...finals. Can I manage that? hahaha we'll see. Please full view for the color, somehow I think it's better... heheheh 8]

Behold. My first fully colored picture with a fully functional background. xD hahaha, too bad I ripped the title and idea from Ch. 238 / Ep. 156 of Gintama manga/anime! Well originality will come later, at least I'm making progress right? I'm really proud of this pic because I tried some crazy lighting going down, and I made steam and did backwards Japanese words haha. I think my favorite part though, is that my couple actually seem like they like each other. For all my other fanarts, I've had crazy trouble with stiffness and weird interaction. I'm just glad I could make a very satisfactory fanart for GinTae. I'm very sad at the prospect of the series possibly ending (complete speculation, no news on that) without GinTae happening for REALZ. Well, we fangirls will make sure our pairings HAPPEN regardless of what really comes about XD

That being said, there are mistakes a plenty here, Gin's right arm is still pretty stiff, I didn't really know what to do with it. My perspective is probably off for the steamy foods... and my colors and lighting can always get better...etc

PLEASE! Make any suggestions as to how I could make this pic better, honestly I probably won't touch this again, but the con crits will help me for my next pics Thanks as always for viewing, and your comments are super appreciated!

Ahem, Carrie, once more I have returned to deviantART for a sneaky few minutes to check out what else you've put up. And I am quite pleased...their facial expressions are nicely done and I like how you shade; it's definitely improving. Plus, it's Gintama, how could I not like it.

Now...the lighting on Gintama's back is done well, but I find the shading on their clothes a little odd. I'm not sure where your other light sources are coming from, but it looks like it's coming from the food (as if the food's glowing). I'm not sure if that was your intention, but it's just a note.

You mentioned that his right arm looked a bit stiff, and I agree. A little bend in it or something wouldn't hurt. Also, I don't know if it's just me but his right arm also looks smaller than his left.

Well, other than that, it's an adorable picture. I like it very much.
