Description [full view?]

This was a whole new experiment. >_>;

I wanted to give digital painting a shot. A common problem that I run into is resolution. Some moniters may display it too dark, some too light. After I finished coloring, I put the color balance level more towards red to even out some things. Plus I usually like putting the color balance more on the red level because it seems to 'warm up' the picture.

As for the content, it's fluffy-ness! ^_^

I believe more in Goku/Sanzo than Sanzo/Goku because Goku is more honest while Sanzo is just emotionally constipated and a mental mess.

The theme that the text implies just reeks of that Broken song by Amy Lee and Seether to some extent, but that really wasn't my intention, though that song vaguely came to mind. This isn't about Goku trying to comfort Sanzo, rather, it's the both of them sharing something in common; Sanzo worried that he isn't strong enough mentally where as Goku is concerned about physically being strong for himself and for those he loves, Sanzo inparticuliar.

I'm very proud of my mad shading skillz on Sanzo's midsection.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the difference between Goku/Sanzo and Sanzo/Goku?

I... would honestly have to laugh if someone tried to make it seem like Sanzo'd go chasing someone. XD He's not the type to do it.

Onto the art itself, it's really cute. I like the image and what it conveys a lot. The text isn't distracting, either. Well put together, I'd say. :3

aww I love it, I think thats more the case with those two also, I so can't see Sanzo as a seme since he doesn't want to show any emotions, but he can be a bastard when he wants too, I'm so becomeing a stalker on your work now also, and I love your id pic too

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that thinks that Sanzo isn't seme material. It wouldn't be in his nature to pursue anyone; he's just the type that attracts people to him. And whether he admits it or not, they manage to get under his skin. ^_^

I don't mind if you stalk me because you have the COOLEST avatar in the whole world!

Heh, I know I love my avatar

Me and my friend gets in an argument over that whole thing, cause she thinks Sanzo won't let anyone mess with him so he has to be on top. I can sort of see that but then also he wouldn't start up anything to tell the other he likes them anyway.

Goku/Sanzo fluffles... Hee!

Beautiful detail! TTxTT Digital painting ish sho hard... but you came through! And wonderfully! *rejoicefulness!!*

I have to agree with the "Strong Enough" Theme. It's... uncanny? [>>; I guess?] how Sanzo and Goku balance each other out. To be honest, Goku's exactly what Sanzo needs to break that hard exterior of his. Warm, fuzzy and honest, balancing out Cold, hard and secretive. Also, as you mentioned in your comment, Goku's search for physical power, while Sanzo tries to be stronger mentally and emotionally. ['specially in Reload, after the first scuffle with Kami-sama.]

Colors here are awesome. *snuggles them* The "red" feeling does add to it.

All the stuff in the picture is fine. Are you lurking again? I want to see if I have something for my own use because I'm not allowed to return the stuff. But it would be okay though.
