Description FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!!

ahh!! This piece is submitted for the Danse Macabre contest and are holding!! ^--^

It's a pencil work of Richard and Methice (the sleeping one). =__= i am ... quite happy wif the pencil stuff coz i spent so much time sketching in the details of their hair and eyes... *--* i adore hyula-san's drawing style!! It's so pretty~~ Oh, and i tried to do this by referring to her sketches and also Alichino artist, Kouyu Shurei's works too. ^-^;;;; I believe both mesiaste-san and hyula-san's charas look best in either of their styles ne, so i tried my best to mimick hyula's style..

uh.. i didn't know which category to put this one in.. i wanted to put it under traditional coz the time spent pencilling was way longer than the tweaking i did on photoshop... o_O?

I guess i kinda ruined the pencil work wif my baaad photoshop lighting skills.. *kills self* why kill self? coz i pencilled till my right hand ached.. T__T let's hope i have a better idea for the bg before the contest deadline.. >_<

*rambles on (readers can skip this)* T____T Hyula-saaan~~ T__T i'll support you and your works always!!! You have one of the most beautiful styles ne, and i hope you'll return to DA soon wif your pretty works that you are proud of!!

Richard & Methice (c) &
time spent pencilling: 6+ hours (i'm sooo slow~~)
time on photoshop: 2+ hours

Ahhh~~~ @___@ Your pencil work is /stunning/. I love how the added lighting effects + pencil lines make it look both 3D and 2D at the same time somehow. ;o; Gorgeous, especially the hair and expressions. *-*

That is truely incredible. I think the longer one work's on a piece of art, the better it turns out because you really work hard on it. It is very nice and the coloring of it is incredible. I commend you. *bows*

*jumps up and down* Yay Princess-Aki!!!! (I know, I'm weird)

Wow! aki this picture is really really cool! I totally awsomely love the girl's hair it is just, teh WOW! I also like the vertical bars on the side it sort of picture frames it you know? The shading is so superb it's unbelievable I really like the outfits, they made upby you or from somewhere? the color tones of the magenta I love! the bg is fine the way it is, you'll blow away the competition

The spirits say: (5 PAINTERS!)

Good god o.o I could never do that style of hair. All the lines would kill me! Even if I was in my prime. But, you make it look almost easy!

I really love this pic. Especially the soft, warm colors. They make it look so very peaceful, and yet, I get a sense of tragedy from it. Maybe it's just how the lighter color fades into the darker one. Or maybe, it is that AND the expression on Richard's face...

Anyway, I really love this pic! ^___^

Everything looks perfect except for Methice's hand...I think you should work on it more. I don't know what's wrong, it just doesn't look right. Maybe it's the shadow/light hmm or even the size. I like the eyes and hair on both. Hope you win good luck princess.

it's so pretty! i think the lighting's fine, though perhaps some darker shading? light that bright would create deeper shadows i think O.o but it's lovely as always just the same
