Description Booyah, I finally finished it! *dances* Go me. ^^ I've really been on a Zel and/or Amelia kick lately. *shakes head*

This pic in its black and white form has been sitting on my hard drive for probably 3 years now, and was begging to be colored. I really like this piccie, and after several complete re-do's, I think I managed to at least partially pull off the feeling I was shooting for. There are a few things I would probably change now, but DAMMIT I DUN WANNA PLAY NO MORE, MOMMY! *goes off to a corner to suck her thumb*

I've been looking at some of your works on here and am stunned. You really draw these with pencil?

Zanne In reply to HMGMishy [2013-02-24 04:37:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! This particular one was sketched in pencil; scanned into my computer, and then colored with Photoshop.

Cool. I just wanted to say that you inspire me. I've been trying to draw well in pencil and have discovered that it's really hard to get shading and clothes right....But thanks for telling me what you used.

*snicker* Perhaps if he had gone after her when she was still 14, at the very beginning of the series. XD However times change, and there is only a 3-4 year difference between the two of them. In this particular story, several years have passed since then.

Love it. Abosolutely love it. This is tantalising. You are a fantasupmazing artist(Fantastic-Supreme-Amazing.). I may even have the cheek to ask for you to draw me something, ANYTHING! How long does it take you?

Zanne In reply to yusuc [2008-10-17 23:18:37 +0000 UTC]

*laughs* I'm sort of dodgy at times about requests; mostly because I suck at finishing them, if I've got a lot on my plate. How long it takes me will greatly depend on if it's just a sketch, if it's inked, if it's colored, how many subjects, etc. Range of time can take from a day to weeks.

yusuc In reply to Zanne [2008-10-18 08:23:05 +0000 UTC]

Well considering the awesomazingness ( The only way I can descibe your work) I think you should get on with what you want to do and take your time in what ever you do. I won't request anything as long as there will be more looking forward to your next piece

Zanne In reply to yusuc [2008-10-18 08:28:17 +0000 UTC]

Heh, see...now you have me curious. XD Was there something in particular you were thinking of requesting?

And thank you! I'm very pleased that you like my work. I seriously need to get on the ball and finish some of my half-done stuff. XD

yusuc In reply to Zanne [2008-10-18 08:45:27 +0000 UTC]

Hey no worries. I was going to ask for any work that may have just been a sketch because it will probably be legendary.

Why thank you! I still like this picture; it was really my first foray into coloring with Photoshop. XD

I think this is also the only true liplock kissing pic I have in my entire gallery. Shame, that.

Thank you very much for your comment and the fave!

Thank you! I enjoyed doing this pic a lot; it's still one of my favorite Zel/Ame pics to date.

Heh, once upon a time, when Slayers was a bit more popular, this pairing got a fairly good following, after a lot of initial warring with the Zel/Lina shippers. ^^ I will always be a Slayers fan; it's responsible for me meeting a lot of wonderful people. ^___^

Heee...this pic has always been one of my fave Z/A endeavors. I was happy with how it came out, and tried hard to make sure the colors reflected the mood. ^___^ Mwahahah...actually, Zel would probably blush so hard he'd pass out, and Amelia would roll her eyes, and cast a fireball at the peeping-tom. *cackle*

Lady-Magic-Knight In reply to Zanne [2005-01-24 17:19:51 +0000 UTC]

:clapclap: Agreed. And then Amelia'd pout for a while and eventually get bored and run off to stand on top of a building or something, and Gourry or Xellos or somebody would wander in and start poking Zel with a stick.

Wow, a call from the past! *bows* Thank you for finding me, I'm always happy when people have seen and liked my stuff...makes me forget how long I've been in the Slayers community. *cackle*

Thank you so much for your praise and your comment! Yes, you are right, this pic is from Nicole Grey's fic "Slayers in Dreamland." Portraying a nice hot scene between Amelia and Zel. Rowr.

Thank you again for visiting my page, and it really makes me happy that you still like that pic, after all this time. ^___^

Ah yes! thats what that fic was called! I never got to reading it though Its pretty pouplar though. Do you think you could link me? if not thats ok ^^

Heh, I can remember looking at your stuff and being extremly envious and I definatly still am! lol. DA definatly has a way of finding artists, for me atleast ^^ But now that I think about it, Slayers sure has been around awhile! Jeez was it ever long ago! And to think only now am i finnally getting the chance to see the WHOLE series! (thank you christmas!) Ok enough bantering! your welcome ^.^

Zanne In reply to Pimmy [2005-01-13 21:06:02 +0000 UTC]

Oooh, it's pretty good, and you really get to see some interesting character development too! There's a sequel Nicole's been writing up as well, but I think it's on hold or something...there are some chapters out though. Here's the link of all her stuff! ----------> [link]

*blushieblush* Awwww...well thank you! ^_^ And yeah, I know what you mean about finding artists...there are several I've found on here that I've been admiring for ages, like Eugene Chung, Bevin, Pairaka, and many others. ^^ It's really amazing how it brings people together, and makes things that much more fun. ^_______^

Yay for you getting to see the entire series of Slayers! NEXT is my favorite by far, followed by the first season, then TRY. ^_^

^__^ hehe, youre welcome, and yea, Next is definatly my favorite, and the funniest! have you seen that new Slayers Premium movie? omg that movie made me so happy. Everyone was horribly cute. X3

Zanne In reply to Pimmy [2005-01-14 03:24:35 +0000 UTC]

Heehee...you'll have to hurdle around typos here and there, but I think it's because she used spell-check and not a beta-reader. It's quite a large fic, and is pretty involved. ^^ The sequel is called "Underneath the Surface" and has started out interesting. I'm hoping she'll finish it.

Yeah, NEXT really is the best...it really showcases all of the characters in their best roles. ^___^ Of course I've seen Premium! *dances* It was so CUTE! I have the DVD, which has added footage from what was released on the 'net. ^^ I also recommend the manga that went with it, because there are even MORE things that you don't see in the movie version. ^__^

Oh CRAP! I completely forgot about that first chapter! >_< I'm so sorry, I should have warned you! And no, it's not all like that. ^^ As a matter of fact, that one chapter is the ONLY one like that. Eeep...sorry. It's actually an integral part of the story, and has a reason for being there. ^^

Heehee...Slayers has always been my favorite series, so naturally I had to find out as much as I could about it...I still don't know everything, since I still need to get the original novels. ^_^
