Description I managed to finish the cover at last! It took a lot longer than I expected and I ended up messing up the shading and faces because of the hurry I was in. I think the overall look is ok and the kimono came out quite well (yay!). I hope I can start the manga soon. At this rate it will take me a year to finish the few pages I plan to start with!!

As always, constructive criticism is always welcome .

So, like I mentioned in the WIP, this is a cover for an excerpt from a random plot idea. The excerpt is titled Temptation.

Short background of the plot: Ayame Ryudou, a powerful pure blood vampire noble rescues Jun Shimazaki, a newly turned human from a bunch of bloodthirsty, rogue vampires. She takes pity on him and teaches him the way of their kind until an incident separates the two. Jun vows to reach her in any way possible. A century later, fate brings her to his doorstep, but not in the way he imagined or wanted.

nee chan... this is oh soooooooooooooooooo good!!!!! that kimono...... wow..... just wow..... i'd love to wear somethin like that!!!! n i love the light reflection u did at the bottom side of the kimono.... makes the material look so thick n lush!!!!
I guess the colorin makes you notice ayame's pose that's slightly weird waist up.... but the awesomeness of the kimono throws it off!
wasn't jun suppose to have brown hair??? coz I like this better!! the dirty blonde suits him!!!
amazing work overall nee chan!!!! can't wait to see the manga pages!

Thank you!
Well, somehow the picture I had in my head did not translate so well on to the paper. Even Jun's proportions are off. But I lost patience .
Yeah, he had brown hair in our original plans . I just thought of doing something different as an experiment and see how it came out. So this colour looks better? Then I'll stick on to it .

yea the color does look better...!!!! dirty blonde with blood red seems more vampire-y..... it would make the skin look more paler i guess.... the whole undead thing....
