Description Full view. Updated version of this:

I changed the text font, Kai's height, and a few other things.

Original Description:
Drawn and shaded in pencil, then I edited it to look like an old photo stuck on the page of a photo album and added text. I put it in the traditional art category because I spent far more time on the drawing than on the background and 'effects'.

As well as deliberately placing Kai at more of a distance away from the others, there are also more tears on his side of the photograph, which is also symbolic for his overall treatment of and actions towards the other members of Neoborg, both in seasons 1 and 3.

The only two in that photo who are actually "friends" are Boris and Yuri. I love their canon backstory (even though it's a "manga outtake").

Excellent artwork. I like the extra touches of the photo being ever so slightly damaged.

...good grief. Seeing the Blitzkrieg Boys lined up in some way always reminds me of my siblings and myself. No doubt my li'l bro will be the Boris/Bryan of the group (incidentally, whenever he lets his hair grow, it looks like Boris's xD; ).

And I like the sepia effect, as well as the handwriting on the 'scrapbook page'. The concept of this piece is really interesting, too.

This picture looks better in comparison to the earlier version of it. The handwritten letters adds more to the feel of the picture too.

Your concept for this piece is rather interesting.

I did not have in mind exactly how many years on from G Revolution this drawing was meant to be when I created it. It is just quite some time away down the future.

It would be much more rewarding to write stories based on your own ideas, rather than other people's ones.

I love this one. Poor Yuriy, I think he felt the distance between him and Kai a lot, as far as I notice in the anime.

I like this version better I think. The sepia is better than the more greyish look.

The handwriting certainly looks more natural in this context. Making Kai shorter is also more realistic, I think.

Somehow I'm having trouble picturing Yuriy keeping a scrapbook, but I admit that I don't have a solid grasp of his personality.

So that people can see the improvement from the original. The old version has been moved to Scraps.
