Description Well, it's nearly the end of February, so I figured I'd end it with Evaryr and Kalysia's wedding kiss from: [link] Enjoy.

And may I never, EVER, use DA's search function for reference on kissing images again. This place needs a filter system... badly.

Finding your colour mojo again?

Interesting change in styles you've made with this one, lighter colours and bolder, more defined line work and brush strokes. It makes things look a little more "painted" a little more 2D. For some reason, where the sleeves are fading into the page it reminds me very much of a Canson paper rendering.

I like it... a lot.

Good! Because I'm starting to think this is the kind of style I'm wanting to adopt more.

Glad you like how this turned out, mate. I agree with your points, too. Anything that looks more 'painted' sounds like a great path to me.

read Fall In Love Like a Comic and Kimikiss if you want clean and "pure" kissing references!

I'll have to look into them when I crave to draw this sort of theme again. Thanks for the advice.

You're welcome! I aim to inspire!
I have a resource for just about everything nowadays, within six years, I have an almost COMPLETE anime and manga collection.

lol, define 'complete'. I actually haven't touched much anime for the past decade. Just don't care for the industry anymore...

Realm-Of-The-Shadows In reply to Aikurisu [2012-03-17 17:27:02 +0000 UTC]

complete implying all open ends of influence and inspiration covered. It's a hard job keeping track of what drives your art, but once you gain control of it, you can do almost anything. But yeah, I can sympathize with your reasoning for falling out of favor for the industry, that's why there is an end to my collection.

I do hope to jumpstart the anime industry again someday still.

AWWWWWWWWE


That's almost all I can muster to say. Excellent picture, amazing details. I always have and always will adore your works.

Aikurisu In reply to tigerfeiry [2012-03-01 07:40:24 +0000 UTC]

Very good.

I'll admit I'm surprised though that this work has hardly received as much initial interest as what my other works get on average. Time of the month, perhaps?

Not sure, people are finicky sometimes. I liked it either way

This is really pretty, the shading on your cloth sleeves is awesome. :]

Aikurisu In reply to AMRiver [2012-03-01 07:34:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I think I may invest more time in this shading style, too. It woked out much better than intended.

Yes it definitely looks fantastic!

Snerk, I can just imagine what came up when you used it... and sadly I'd probably be correct.

*cringes* I think it'd be best that we don't describe them here... Heaven knows I'll upset people if we do.
