the dramatic tension is unbelievably intense!
maybe it's the colors, or the lines, or the composition, or the texture... hell it's mind blowing.
things like THAT are supposed to be DD, not that garbage they chose :/

Oh I love how you painted the rain. And they look WET. Very realistic. And no, it doesn't look ugly. It brings out the small details. Nice job.

I really like this. Espeically the personality and the hair.

The emotion in this picture is beautiful... I love the dark shadows and how everything just seems to fit together perfectly!
The facial expression... ZOMG...
I love how stark it is, and the rain just seems to work perfectly rather than add a cheesy pinache to it!
I like it!

i love how the monochrome scheme really sets the tone, it's beautiful.

wow that is so beautiful. You can really tell that the man is verry careing for the girl...

i guess i'm seeing the edited version, but even so i love the feel of this image. i can imagine it w/less contrast btwn the tones and i think it would have looked amazing (not that it doesnβt now n__n )
the embrace seems so close and protective that it seems most appropriate to have it portrayed in colours that are similar... the darkness of the colour sets the mood so nicley...
dunno... think this looks great, compositionally and technically. niice! (quite like the way you defined the tops of their heads w/the reflection)

I LOVE. this. Especially Valefor's face -- the high contrast, the strands of hair. Gorgeous. (And your writing is just as beautiful as your art. ;

It isn't dark at all! The darkness of the picture makes it look even better, it sets the mood, very nicely done!

It reminds me of something but I can't quite place my finger on it....

It is dark. XD But that doesn't stop it from being awesome. Even though you can't see much of their faces, the expressions are just amazing.

It looks very realistic. I really like how you toned this picture with so much shadows, making it look so melancholy filled with deep feelings. This is very nice, once again. Good work.

i guess it is kinda dark but its kinda beautiful that way. it gives it more emotion. hehehe.
look at me...talking as if i know anything about art.ehe.
π: 0 β©: 0
the rain's amazing, i really have to compliment on how you used the shadows, you created heaps of emotion and expression without being able to see their eyes
i love the strands of hair too

I haven't read stories online in quite some time, but I think I'll be keeping up with this one. ^.^ Very enjoyable and well thought out.
This pic makes Abigail look so... fragile. It really shows the bond between the two characters.

...D: why are you so good?! ^_^ I love your art so much! And thank you so MUCH about what you told be about the Gaussian blur for the line art a few deviations back. @_@ It improves them SO much! If I may, testdrive-sama, what sort of tablet do you use/recommend and, on average, how many hours do you work on pics like this one? :3
ps- I love Ouran xD The twins! Though papa tamaki is cute xD
π: 0 β©: 1
hehe, thank you!
yeah, the gaussian blur works out nicely, ^^
uhmmm...I actually don't know anything about tablets, hehe...but I use a wacom graphire 4"x6"..it's tiny..but it still works, so *shrug, good enough for me.
pictures like this, with no color, take me about an hour or so, ^_^
