Description Ranka and Hervor, lying down after combat practice. Ranka wanted to learn to fight usefully like Hervor. Hervor's shield is seen here. Art back then wasn't anatomically correct, so don't crit me on the wolf.

I've taken pictures of my progress with this one to make a tutorial on my "ink" process. It'll be posted sometime in the near future.

I can't decide how I want this image turned. Jude likes it like this, but I also like it flipped over. What do you think?

My characters (Well, at least this version of Hervor) are (C) me.

Man, I ran into the same "which-way" problem with a flippy pic of mine.

These gals have a looooot of hair.

The hair brushstrokes are too perfect. Knock it off.

Really stunning ink artwork & I love their poses. I think either way will be good since I'm not picky. I love the wolf on the shield. Keep it up!D

Simply beautiful! Graceful, sweet, emotional. It's so rare to see yuri/shoujo ai works that respect the woman's figure. Congratulations!

I really like your yuri art. Like you told me before, males do most of it, so the artform is really lost in the masses and becomes erotic. Yours has a sweet subtleness and love. I love the gentle demeanor and the loving grace, complete with the touch of exhaustion from practice. Kudos.

You're getting so good at your inking, nillia! Your wash was dead on for shading. God I'm so envious! Their robes seem to go on forever ~^^~ And Hervor's hair? I can't imagine how long that must have taken you to do her curls!

Instant fav for me...I think I agree with Jude on the picture being in this position...I think its Ranka's eyes that make me want to view the piece like this.

Simply beautiful. Their expressions speak so clearly. The shading is magnificent. I can see the satisfied emotions that emanate from them. (I just hope they are both girls, or else I need some corrective lenses)

Much like your previous works, the artistic level is far above what I could comprehend.

Well done, as usual.

I think both ways would be lovely, but perhaps on its side would make it more dynamic? Not quite sure since it can go any which way and still look wonderful!

Ginger-Storm [2007-10-09 01:45:25 +0000 UTC]

it's very pretty, I like the shield

--but it would look better upside down, in my opinion.
