Description THUMBNAILS ARE SATAN-SPAWN. FULL VIEW NOW

A fanart of Akasha and Aaby from *messa and ~snoppy 's Kingdom Hearts : War of Hearts. I hope you like it.

--STATISTICS--
Drawing Time : About a whole day
Medium/s : Pens + Photoshop 7

--THIS ONE GOES OUT TO...--
&

--FINAL QUERKS--
Okay okay okay, I KNOW I've been bragging a lot about how playing DOAX has helped me improve my female anatomy studies, but you HAVE to listen to me on this; Akasha and Aaby are REALLY REALLY SKINNY o.o;;. Like Kairi from Kingdom Hearts kinda skinny (which was more or less how these designs came about, just from observation. Note the skinny legs and giant shoes).

The pose...argh, it's so......typical >.< . I don't do 'contrasting' pics much, but I ran through about 5 poses before this one, each one failing its predecessor worse by the numbers.

--THINGS I'M RATHER PROUD OF--
I read over *messa 's coloring tutorial like a STARVED MADMAN to get the coloring for this just right. My usual coloring style is too distastefully sharp, and I was always fond of messa's light, soft colors. SO, as a step forward in my Photoshop practices, I colored this utilizing techniques I learned from ~silverlimit and *messa 's tutorial. I'm pretty much very satisfied with how the colors turned out...well, except maybe the background .

I also like how the designs for the hearts turned out. Hell if I were badass enough, I'd have a tatoo of both...or not.

--A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS--
*messa has the best character designs...I'm particularly fond of Aaby (who knows, maybe it's my love for cute-angel characters kicking in o.o;; ). She designs the best outfits and shoes (although I actually designed Akasha's shoes myself, for I was without reference).

I love Aaby's giant cuffs ! *plays with giant cuffs*

All I really did was follow a series of tutorials (of which I can't remember at this date). As for the background, all of that was just the results of tinkering around with various functions (in fact, most of the tricks I use were discovered just from tinkering around). You'll find that simply tinkering around in Photoshop with random effects really pays off.

ALRIGHT. XD Now I have time to comment on this!

THAAAANNNNNKKKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU ! O______________O

XD That is SO beautiful, ne! I looove this! Especially the style and the beautiful shading, but the theme of good and bad is really good, too! VERY contrasting, and right on the dot for both girls! I really love this style, it's so beautiful, and the hearts on each girl's hand, or floating above them, rather, is a really really really nice touch. @_@ I am loving it so much.

And I am so so glad that my tutorial helped you out, and to be honest, I love those shoes for Akasha. o_o Brilliant, ne. LOVE them. Thank you so much, once again! @_@

Ha ha, I should be thanking you and snops for giving me the opportunity to draw such wonderful characters . I'm glad you like it, I worked really really hard on it (or rather, as hard as one can work on a single piece in one day o_o; ). You can look forward to more WoH fanart in the future. XD

tenshichan [2004-07-28 21:05:10 +0000 UTC]

I dont understand why there arent 100 comments o O this is really good! i love your hearts especially the dark one :3. I think you did an excellent job on your colouring. How long did it take you to color? oO a whole day drawing one thing--whoa makes me feel terrible X3. I'll have to try and draw for that long @.X oy! I agree Messa's character Aaby has the best character design here but I personally think Julo's character Akasha has the best clothing design :3. They really can contrast each other cant they? Wonderful colors I especially like how you split it in two and yet together ^_^ Another thing I like is Akasha's expression :3 and their hair.... awesome job overall!

Sorry for the long comment I just figured you gave us a long description and deserved a long comment in return +Fav
