Description Hello again everyone,

How are you? Are you doing well? I sure hope that you are! As I write this, I'm currently working on my painting for featuring Seto Kaiba and Serenity aka Shizuka as seen here:



At the same time, I've been working on the above piece for another good friend of mine, my friend Betsy. Even though it's another simple piece, illustrating the potential coupling of Seto Kaiba and Anzu aka Tea, it's gone through a bit of a process, namely in the expression on Seto's face. I wanted my friend to be completely happy with it, so I've made the changes to the work in accordance to her wishes as well as the comments that I've received on the sketches so far. In the end, she decided that instead of the first two versions, she preferred that Seto have more of a surprised or flustered face, as seen in the new version above. Oddly enough, it seems like there's a progression when tying it together with the other drawings. It appears as if Seto is initially shocked by Anzu's affections, he then calms himself, and then finally embraces and reciprocates the emotion. At least that's how I like to see it, given the changes that have been made so far.





Even though this seems to be the version that will ultimately be painted, if anyone has any more feedback on ANY of the works, once more, it would be greatly appreciated! Sometimes works that are simple can also be glaringly obvious when something is amiss so I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Thanks so much everyone! Take care!

Love,
Yamigirl21

Nice to see that you've reached the final sketch for this that will be taken forward for further work. :3

I've got to admit that although all of them are very good I personally like the expression on the second version best out of the set, but I can definitely see why your friend chose this one - the shocked look seems very in-character for Seto. He probably doesn't know how to deal with random hugs from people who aren't Mokuba. xD

Really looking forward to seeing more progress on this version.

Heh, thanks! I'm glad you like it! ^__^ I think you have the same perception as I do in this case. I do think the closed eye version is the most natural and yet you're right! I think this reaction is pretty in character for Seto. I know most of the time nothing really phased him in the real series, but every now and then he would make a face similar to that. When Joey was able to withstand Ra's attack for instance, I know he was pretty shocked! Seriously though, thanks again for all of your wonderful comments! You always have such awesome things to say about my work! I love how you can point out details about the process and even my thoughts behind them! I meant it when I say I always look forward to them! Take good care now, ok? Until next time!

This is probably the best version you'd done of this drawing. Seto looks alive and responsive, Anzu looks happy, and their poses look natural. You did a really nice job on this one so hopefully it matches up to your standards and the standards of the one you're drawing it for.

Thank you so much, Naoku. I was actually really worried about how this one would come out and since my friend really loves this pairing I wanted to keep at it until I got it right. I will admit that I kinda liked the version with Seto's eyes closed too, but my friend really wanted to have both of their eyes open to showcase them both being blue and having the similarly colored hair and what not. She then came up with the idea of Seto being surprised and the rest is history. I'm hoping that the final painting will come out also. Wish me luck and once more I thank you for your feedback! It's been very helpful during this process and again, it means a lot to me!
