Description *cue dramatic swelling of music* ;; Tee hee. <3

Wheeee~ Finally finished colouring this piece!

The background is not my doing at all. It's an old resource photo I had lying around my hard drive... >_>;; I got lazy. XD; I'll change it if the photographer starts poking me to get it off though.

Colouring this was kind of difficult because I messed up at one point. A good rule with CG-ing is if you screw up horribly and you know it, do not go along with it to the end - fix it asap. As a result of not following this good rule, I had to tweak the colours a lot at the end - and the blending options - to get something that didn't looking glaringly wrong. ;_;

Anyway... this is kind of a tribute to MT, and of course I'm extremely grateful to Fred Gallagher, the creator of MT and of these two characters Erika and Largo. I adore their relationship to pieces. Thanks Fred~

Just the inks: [link]

Aaand another version that I did up: [link]

Inked and coloured on PSCS~ (minus the BG...)

Awww... so sweet!

Too bad Largo will never be that romantic... unless he plays Piro's dating sims enough

Quoting Largo: "You... bother me."

He doesn't need Piro's dating sims!

Thanks for the comment~~

It has been ages hasn't it. I thought I would try to get back on here. I hope you've been doing good. Your art still makes me smile.

That is so sweet of you to say. XD; It's been a long time, but I think art-wise I'm still trying hard to improve. It is awfully nice to see you back though. Hope you've been doing good, too!

reisparkles In reply to rufiangel [2007-09-24 03:50:32 +0000 UTC]

Everyone always has room to improve but I'd have to say that your art is great as is. I love it at least. As for how i'm doing, not so great would be the answer. But I'm still kicking I suppose

*flails* This is such a nice piece. I loved the black and white lineart piece and now with color it's just that much more awesome. Not only can you draw the difficult to draw kiss scene but you drew it well! *jealous* The background also totally compliments the rest of the piece. It's almost as though the placement of the setting sun is drawing attention to the actual kiss itself. And the colors are just really, really nice.

I'm so glad I finally got to comment on this~. Did you post it over forums mt:sd yet? >3 All the fanboys and girls there will totally die when they see this!

rufiangel In reply to ThumbJr [2007-09-06 04:06:01 +0000 UTC]

I based it heavily off a reference! And I kind of muted all the colours with the whole sunset thing. *sigh* But I guess I'm kind of happy with how it turned out too. :3

But it makes me uber happy that you think it's nice though. Mweheehee. And I haven't posted it in mt:sd... I'm kind of scared. ;w; I haven't been there in such a loooong time...

Ky444~!
Largo/Erika ftw!

I'm melting at the beautiful back-lit shading on Largo's neck... And the hair...

I know I don't comment on your stuff as much as I should, Rufi, but you know know I completely idolize your awesomeness. I need to do a gift-art for you some day...

Blwah~ I don't deserve any of your praise XD; Seriously! You are a really awesome artist and super colourist, btw... I didn't know you were hanging around devart... *hits self* Blwagah!

*whispers* We could do an art trade~ *looks at the huge pile of undone requests and art trade... turns away again* we still could!! >.>

*edges away from the teetering stack of homework assignments and whispers* We could do a art-trade. But what sort of drawing/Cg would you want?

rufiangel In reply to Hellrose-rin [2007-09-08 07:58:56 +0000 UTC]

Yay~~ Hellrose-rin wants to art trade with me!

Oh yeah, this is a ninja art trade. *whispers* I have been thinking really hard for the past few days to think of something, but then after procuring MT volume 4 I think all I can think about is the gorgeous Circuity: Rewound version. I think I'd love to see Largo and Erika from Circuity! I think your drawings would be beautiful for that. Now, your turn to challenge me with something <3

Hellrose-rin In reply to rufiangel [2007-09-08 19:36:04 +0000 UTC]

More Yaay~, because Rufiangel wants to art trade with -me-!

[] Aha, the perfect excuse to finally buy the fourth MT book! And I've always wanted to try my hand at some LxE Circuity stuff.

As for what I'd like from Rufi... You watch Ouran, don't you? Maybe a picture of Tamaki? Of course, Haruhi or Kyouya is good to. [/]

rufiangel In reply to Hellrose-rin [2007-09-09 10:39:28 +0000 UTC]

You don't have to buy the fourth MT book if you don't have it~ besides there's a ref of Circuity!Erika when she turns up after the end of the omake.

I love Tamaki to pieces~ would you like just him, or Haruhi x Tamaki? I don't mind either. >w<*

Hellrose-rin In reply to rufiangel [2007-09-09 21:24:16 +0000 UTC]

Nn, but I want to buy it! I just needed something to justify it...

Just Tamaki is fine, I think.

They balance each other out.

Their kids may, dare I say it, come outbeing completely normal.

you finished it, I like the pairing also but I wish the comic could have stayed the same instead of having it revolve around relationships and such.

rufiangel In reply to Pyroseth [2007-09-02 14:32:52 +0000 UTC]

Fastest reply ever. XD;; I'm glad I finished it, I can now start on other projects I *should* be working on. >.>

I could reply to your comment but that's an entire debate in itself... well, the current chapter will probably start doling out more answers to the plot threads given at the start of MT, hopefully, with just a bit more angst than usual because of the new relationship business. Anyway. Thanks for viewing!
