How pretty! I love the sky and clouds, and how see-through her dress (tutu?) is!

[twinklepug.livejournal.com]

great posing! And i really like how you did the clouds. Love the tutu as well. It really looks floaty and sheer.

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

Very nice, great work with the poses and I love her dress.

Okay, now I'm intrigued by this fandom. *g* What a starry, dreamy, lovely piece! I love the extension on her legs and how strong the lines of their bodies are; not to mention the way they're holding each others' gaze like that. Ethereal, pretty stuff!

Great job on the cloth and feather textures. And finally a romantic moment for Fakir and Tutu! Very sweet, with a private/personal/intimate feeling to the dance.

Yay, this is awesome! I love Fakir and Ahiru's expressions, and the overall gracefulness to the figures, and the way you tackled Ahiru's outfit (and I can't forget to mention EEE Fakir's puffy sleeves, such a dork ;D ). And that gazebo looks like it would've been a pain to color, but it turned out well. Thanks so much, secret santa! Glad to hear that you liked my prompts! :)

[wensleydale.livejournal.com]

Also I want to EEE at the puffy sleeves again. EEEEE.

[fadedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Rest assured that I echo your EEEEEE with great heart. :|b

But aughsopiadfposdf I'm so glad you like it! ♥ For serious, it took me a while to peg down a prompt, and it got down to Le Chev and PTT, and I just had to choose one. ;^; ♥

I don't know this fandom too well, but my Tutu-loving kid sister squeed her heart out at the sight of it. It's beautifully done; I love her right hand, so delicately starting the line of her body, and the expression on their faces, so tender and hopeful. Nice work.

[fadedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Your sister has good taste, haha~

[unithien-rerith.livejournal.com]

This whole piece (not just the characters) are so delightfully graceful. Everything works together very nicely.

[alouette-sparra.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, Princess Tutu! This is really beautiful, although now my legs hurt from looking at her pose too long... >>

The background... the details... the shading... the gazebo... ♥____♥

[craterchest.livejournal.com]

The coloring and value on the characters is just astounding.

[hideincarnate.livejournal.com]

So pretty.

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! The eye-contact between Fakir and Tutu is really lovely and I like how you got the background done, those clouds!

[rasetsunyo.livejournal.com]

Oh how wonderful! The grace and magic of this is simply stunning. I love the detailing on Ahiru's costume!

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

So lovely! Nice swan details on Ahiru's dress, and I am totally with the commenter squeeing over Fakir's puffy sleeves. Also, you got Ahiru's hair sticking up!

Now I'm wondering about the circumstances in which Fakir and Princess Tutu!Ahiru could have a sweet and happy dance. I want the story that explains this moment. :)

[fadedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Her hair is fun! 8D And their costumes were actually inspired by Special Promotion images that I have saved~ Fakir rocks the sleeves.

I imagine the story behind it would be something Fakir writes for himself and keeps a secret. >: They deserve a less ambiguous Happily Ever After, imo.

this is so delicate and beautiful, and makes me really, really want to watch this series, for the first time.

[fadedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Oh, you definitely should watch it. It's not your typical Magical Girl Shoujo Animu, not in the least. Tears your heart out and stomps all over it sob. I highly recommend it~ :)

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

This is so AMAZING. I love the lighting especially, the way you've made her outfit both tangible and see-through and taffeta, it's brilliant. I love their straight backed, professional poses and the gazebo in the back, the clouds...everything! Everything just comes together so well in this piece, it's like I can hear the ballet music in the background and I keep expecting them to keep dancing. Fantastic stuff!

[fadedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Holy cow, thank you so much. I can't even begin to tell you how red my face is right now, haha.

[sheepfairy.livejournal.com]

This is so freaking good! I love everything about it - I love the poses, I love your style, I love the colors. It's just incredible.

[fadedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. .////. Thank you so much~

[fightfair.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that is some mega-incredible job with the posing there, and I can't help but admire that lovely piece of architecture in the back. *A*

[elynross.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous. I love the contrast between the clean, detailed lines of the figures and the out-of-focus, more impressionistic background.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

So pretty! I love how much their poses add to the expressions on their faces. :}
