HAPPY YULETART, Riot_o_curls!

[yuletart-mods.livejournal.com]

Title: The Brothers
Gift for: riot_o_curls
Artist: kaiserkuchen
Rating: G
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Characters: Edward and Alphonse Elric
Warnings: None really, barring the artist's attempts at CLAMP-esque noodle-people...
Artist notes: Since I couldn't decide between the two fandom prompts of FMA and xxxHolic, I decided to try and make a crossover of sorts and draw the brothers Elric in the style of the Holic manga chapter covers. Hope it is to your liking, riot_o_curls :D!

Oh what a gorgeous style to draw the brothers in! *___*

Heh thanks! When CLAMP brings it, they really bring it :D

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Thank you~ Searching for suitable patterns was also a quest in itself XDD

[riot-o-curls.livejournal.com]

n-nicely done!! i'm impressed!! ahh so unique!! thanks!

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

:DDDD Glad you liked it! Man, I really wasn't sure at first which series to take(nearly ended up drawing Kyouya and Tamaki instead because I was stalking your userinfo and saw your colourbars ^^)

Ooh, that's nice - I love the style! :)

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Yay for style experiments working out :D Thank you~

It's nerdy, but that upholstery is gorgeous! X) Also, the stark white outlines on the boy who's standing is just lovely!

If I had more time (and the foresight to bring some reference materials along) I am afraid to say I would have nerded out even more on the couch thingamajig but ahh XDD Glad you liked it though :D

I love the brocade and the stylized smoke!

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

The smoke was at turns fun and extremely irritating to draw ehehehe :D Thanks!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

What a cool idea! Beautifully executed, too.

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Muchas gracias! The Elric siblings are always awesome and holic is one of the better CLAMP offerings imho, so it seemed like a good combo :DD

Ee! I love the style here.

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

(ICON SOCUTE eee :D)
Thanks! I actually had a lot of fun drawing this~

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Hehehehehe! The CLAMP-esque noodle-people work great here ;D Good job overall, but I especially like the textures on the forniture! :D

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

I now understand why CLAMP draws so many noodle people-- it is absurdly FUNNNN :DD Thanks!

Eeeeeee this is sooooo cool!!! I love the simple colouring that's offset by all the luscious b&w patterns and detailing in the couch and the smoke and everything. And the brothers! So adorably stylized and cute skdjfhajkdf I just love this piece so very much. <3

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

:DDDD Thanks so much for the lovely comment! heh you've mentioned basically all the points I tried to keep in mind (at first I wanted to make it entirely b&w but somehow the colour RED is intrinsically a part of how I view the Elric brothers ^^;)

I haven't seen xxxHolic, but I like the style and the composition. Very clever use of colour

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuu :DD And you should check out holic~ Very interesting CLAMP art (the chapter covers are a treat for the eyes) and a story that turns out quite addictive :D
