Description Gah, the folds, they conspired against me! But I mostly won.

Rakka and Reki from Haibane Renmei.

Pose based on this stock image by =PersephoneStock . Like the photo, more intended as a sisterly thing than a shippery thing.

At first played with placing Rakka right, since she is reaching out to Reki, but reconsidered. It's Reki asking whether she is worth trust, yet at the same time she's leaning on Rakka.

My apologies, I have no idea who they are or the anime or show they are from, but I really love how this shows true friendship, learning to lean and trust one another. Wonderfully done.

Been wanting to comment on this way earlier, but I tend to forget stuff like commenting when my mind is occupied. >_>

I absolutely adore the detail in the folds and how real the hands look, working with a ref definitely pays of. : ) Too bad that the simplicity of the background forms such a huge contrast with the detail in the girls, especially since you usually make pretty detailed environments.
But still, the atmosphere of the whole drawing is really nice.

Yeah, I slacked off on the background completely : there were meant to be trees, a forest of sorts, but I was so frustrated by that time I just wanted it finished . Maybe I will revisit it one day.

This is BEAUTIFUL work. *applauds*

*faves*

I think of them as more of a sisterly thing... I can NOT see them as a shipping. At all. xD;; I love Reki; she's my favorite character. The only shipping I ship in Haibane Renmei is Reki x Hyoko.

47ness [2009-11-13 23:46:59 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. Even though visually they seem to have the archetypal onee-sama/imoto look, Reki/Rakka as a romantic pairing ...just ...doesn't work for me. Ever. ^.~;


This is wow. The folds must've been murder. The hands look frighteningly good though~! ♥ That extra subsurface of red underneath the skin tone is really effective stuff. But seeing that rich detail makes me wish it was used more throughout the rest of them? It feels like their faces could use some more hue.

(AND NO- I DON'T MEAN HAVING THEM BLUSH, ALL YOU RxR FANBOYS/FANGIRLS OUT THERE.) }¦3

...but otherwise, s'lovely. ^^

Ditto.

You're right about the blood hue, I've changed it a bit. Is it better now or does it need further fixing?

I wanted to leave a comment on your collection thingy but dA was acting up, so I'll place it here : Just wanted to say it's a lovely collection and I like you put much effort in aligned the pics to sub-categories ^_^.

Silvermoonlight In reply to Yiuokami [2009-11-14 18:48:10 +0000 UTC]

Thank you

I try my best with the sub-categories because one thing I found when looking through favs was that I had no idea what I was looking at so I felt it best to sub-categories my own so people can find things.
