Description Edit: [9/7/07] Fixed a few mistakes.

Coloring experiment. Don't ask about the background. I'm not a background person. >.>

I actually attempted to imitate Nomura-style coloring, by putting lighter colors over the dark ones instead of the other way around to suggest shadows. I think it kind of...failed. But it didn't turn out so bad.

Freaking CUUTE O;

For some reason I'm more into Cloud being seme, but I don't mind because Leon's been my favourite character lately ^_^

proximity-nine In reply to fullcreamilk [2007-06-13 15:20:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. <3

And...(oh no, rant coming on) What exactly do you mean by seme? Because the terms seme and uke are really just for sexual positions. Fandom twisted them to define dominant and submissive personalities, and I kind of think that's silly. Especially with this pairing, they've each got their own quirks that kind of balance out. And while Leon's the dork and Cloud is kind of more confident, etc, as Hanae said, Leon is Cloud's emotional anchor. So...yeah. I dunno.

I'm not trying to jump down your throat or accuse you or anything, I'm just curious what you mean by you "prefer Cloud seme"...

fullcreamilk In reply to proximity-nine [2007-06-14 05:04:17 +0000 UTC]

Aww, I use those terms because I don't know what else to use, err, does Dominant lean to your taste?^^ Leon's a dork Hahah, I love Hanae's LJ fanfics! GOSH! Too much smut though, Have you read those 12 fics of pure smex? @.@ I prefer CounterClockwise cos it's so fluff~

When I say Cloud as seme, But ONLY For the moment. Because Leon's been my favourite character, As I said before... X33 Well, This may sound kinda sick, but I like it when one of them are helpless during sexy time LOL.

proximity-nine In reply to fullcreamilk [2007-06-14 17:00:25 +0000 UTC]

I guess it confuses me when "seme" or "uke" is used out of sexual context. Because...it's not what the words are for. XD In that case it's whose name comes first when you write the pairing, you know, Cloud/Leon as opposed to Leon/Cloud. That's how I usually define it. (though I get confused even more when referring to my own work, because they tend to switch off, so i just refer to it collectively as "Leon/Cloud"...)

I don't read smut. XD Hanae is a lovely writer, but I stick to her other fics. XD

*raises an eyebrow* Annnddd...everyone has their own preferences. (Don't worry about it, I'm just teasing you. XD )

Well, thanks for the Lecture

Jokes, not many people reply to LC or CL, but they recognize Uke and Seme. Oh, I just wanted to let you know but my LJ is winterwings013. I was bored and decided to start an LJ for my friends to check on... and hopefully get them started. LOL. I loooooooves your drawing style, because ... It's easy to adapt!! !^w^^ Actually, right now I'm idolising a friend of mine who draws shojo like WHOA..... Well, a mixture of your style and hers would be awesome DD: (Her style is hard!) Anyway I better stop nAo >wO

~If you ask me, I think that background very good. They are the main part of the picture anyway. No need for fancy backgrounds!

It's very good for a first attempt with shading like that!... ~Love it!! xD

It looks good! [and...well...backgrounds...they're...necessary evil. ie.: they're not my thing either.]

Personally... I just cannot even attempt to do shadowing like he does it... it just does against my own nature, and... I APPLAUD YOU FOR THE ATTEMPT DARLING!
