Description Edit:  Huge jump in art here, but this is the final, colored copy of Hiro and Lucia from my couples poll.  The actual piece I ended up giving to my friend because of how much she loves this pairing.  We got to hang out at A-kon; it was spiffy.    

Some of the colors came out a bit darker than I'd intended.  Turns out I don't have anything even resembling the off-white color of Lucia's shirt, so I had to wing it with what I had.  All 'n all, I like how it came out.  I still need more practice with cell shading, but I'm getting better.

And with this piece, the couples poll is complete.   Huzzah!  Expect another one in the future, but first...other stuffs!

Done in about 5 hours with prismacolor markers, fine-lines, and colored pencils.

End edit:

Rough pencil art for the last drawing in my couples poll:  Hiro and Lucia from Lunar Eternal Blue.

I didn't have reference images for either character when I started drawing this, so I decided to give them some winter clothes to make up for the fact that I could only remember certain portions of their outfits.  I had originally planned to make it a full body sketch, but I had a really hard time getting Lucia's legs to look right.  I may still do it...just need to take a break from working on it so that I can look at it later with fresh eyes.

Ne-who, enjoy.

How can you paint with these colored pencils so perfectly? O_O

You're too kind. X3


What I do, is I use alcohol-based markers to do a base color, then all shading and gradients are done on top of that.  I use Prismacolor color pencils because they're made with wax and can be blended using a layered, paper implement called a "stump."  I find that thick cardstock is better at absorbing the marker ink and allows for heavy layering with the pencils, more-so than regular printer or construction paper.  This is an older piece and was rushed quite a bit; I really want to do a re-draw but lack the time. T_T

Lunar is definitely one of my favs, and SSSC is up there near the top.  I'm really hoping for a new title in the future.

Polar bears are awesome.  If you catch 'em while they're young, you can raise them into cavalry mounts. Nothing beats bear cavalry.

Nothing.

Thankee!  It's an awesome PS1 game.  You might be able to emulate it, otherwise you'll be shelling out at least $100 for just the CDs.

Emulate? Does that mean illegally download? 'Cause I doubt I'd do it simply because...I'm lazy and not really into games myself, lol.
