Description I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I’ve been picking at this for the last couple of days. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something very relaxing about drawing these two. xD Anyway, my entry for *AikDingo ’s contest.

Obviously I’ve picked the relationship between Aik and Inner Demon to draw, and I spent some time thinking about what it actually is.

So here’s how I see it:
Sometimes they fight, and sometimes they’re friends but when it comes down to it, they aren’t complete without each other. Aik can’t leave Inner Demon lying in the rain and has gone to shelter her with her body.

omg, I looked at Aik's contest entry just to check out how the others was going (:

And you ''knocked''me out of my chair xD; no but seriously, so great done!
It looks little familiar to what I use, but god. You did really made it out in the pic D8 Everything is just so clear. If I should not go for how the good looking it's, and would go for the feeling this would still be in one of the best (:

So, let's go to the pic. Shall we? xD

I like how you made the poses, really nice! And i love how she cowers ID, but if you had but the back body over ID, it would look even better.

Anyway, I think it's enough good with the pose you have already done actually (:

The head is so pretty! Aw god, you got incredible skills on that,but Ids nose should just have been a little higher up, in the same direction as the eyes.

I just LOVE IDs expression. Aik's good as well, but IDs the fav <3

The paws and fur is just amazing drawn, I just love how you made the paws! But how you did the hind legs is really great, since I think it's really a hard part to draw.. hehe got some problems with the legs overall xD But I'm working on that (:

Any who, The background is so neat! All the details in it is really great, I love how you made the sky. How blurry it's. Then rest of the picture gets the attention. Lovely work on the rain, looks so good!

And before I stop, I would just like to say you did a really really great work on the anatomy (: Hope my crits didn't bother you or something like that, because you did a hell of a good work! <3

this comment get longer then I expect it would be xD

lol good thing mine was up first then, or you might claim I stoal your idea! *joke*

No, you aren't bothering me! xD I should have 'advance critique' activated on all my pictures, if I don't it's an oversight, but I want comments like this! I really must thank you for taking the time to write such a long comment and giving me such great critique. I really apreciate it!
I won't change the things in this pic, but I'll keep it in mind when I do similar things in the future.

Sometimes they fight, and sometimes they’re friends but when it comes down to it, they aren’t complete without each other.

You totally got what the whole ID & Aik -Concept means
Gosh, what a great picture! Once again, your mixed real&comic style kills me It's absolutely perfect done! I love the short legs and slender build of Aik <3

ID's head must have been a pain in the butt - well, it would be for me since I always have trouble with perspectives of up-looking characters

I'm so happy you found time to enter my contest - you're great The title, as somone said before, goes very well with the picture and the meaning behind. The Background also is so nice. Detailed but not too much so the picture ist still focused on Aik and Inner Demon...
The colors you used for the BG really reminding me on a rainy day in summer... just before the rainbow appears

Awesome... really... thank you so so much! Gosh.... thank you!!

ElementalSpirits In reply to AikDingo [2008-03-01 20:46:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, actually the hardest bit I found was drawing the way Aik is standing over Inner Demon, I haven't drawn that pose before and I don't think it's quite right, especially the front leg... but I still like it.
I'll always find time for you and your characters, they're just so awesome!

whoa, I love how you do animal anatomy and your back grounds! first off, Aik looks very concerned about the inner demon and inner looks like she's going, "You're helping me?

ElementalSpirits In reply to Rhinjinfan [2008-03-01 20:08:13 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly right, thanks I wasn't convinced ID was quite right, but I must be wrong. xD
