Title: Again?
Gift for: shin_e

Fandom: Hikaru no Go
Characters: Akira, Hikaru
Artist notes: I wanted to create something both fun for the holidays and playful and fun for the whole year round. Knowing that I was making art for shin-e made me pretty nervous (I love your work on Y!Gal), but I, uh, I DID IT ANYWAY! I hope you like this! <333

I don't really know the fandom but, oh my goodness, I am captured by the colors. So perfect, with the shading and the contrast between subject and scenery and...what medium is this? I can't tell if it's marker or watercolor.

Plus points also for bedhead and the mistletoe and that truly awesome speech bubble.

SUPER CUTE ♥! Akira's bedhead is especially adorable (I mean, one is more used to seeing Hikaru's hair like that XDD) and oh their expressions are simply awesome~

Awwwww. Lovely drawing **. I love the work on the line and also the nice colors! And curl effects you made around the text part or on them are lovely!!!

*-*

Tee!

I love how simple the set up is. A little mistletoe, a phrase, and bam, we totally know what's going on ;)

I have particular fondness for the redtone shadows on Hikaru's fingers, clavicle, and cheek.

Yowza! Those bedroom eyes are incredibly beguiling, and I love how you managed to make both guys slender but defined and not feminized. Lovely work.

GAWD, THIS IS. SO FRIGGIN' PRETTY. ;______;;; ♥♥♥

I was chatting with my friend on MSN when I saw this, and I practically freaked out on her and started keysmashing randomly ORZ. ...Even now, I still can't stop gaping and grinning at the same time *g*

Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece!! AND IT'S ALL MINE NOW. MUAHAHAHA *coughhack* You've definitely made my dayyy *__*!! *cries of joy* I absolutely love their expressions, and the colours are fantastic. Of course, you can't forget their (endearing) bedhair and Akira's speech bubble (which just PWNZ ALL.) Much, much, much luff on you~~ ;__;;

Eee, so cute! I love Hikura's hand resting on the collarbone! Lovely!

[wensleydale.livejournal.com]

Oooh, your style is slick! and the colors and lineart are so clean!

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

I don't need to know the fandom to love this piece! I love the minimal composition, the shading . . . and the subject matter is yummy. ^^ Their facial expressions, messy hair, the tentative posing of the hands . . . great work!

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! You've done a great job with these techniques. I love the shading and lines! :D

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Heh! The easy, unfussy style of this is so appealing -- the clean lines of the characters, and the whimsical coils under the mistletoe and around the speech-bubble -- it's charming in its well-chosen simplicity.

OMG I have no idea who these characters are, but this piece of art is just. SO. CUTE. I love your art style, I love their cheeky expressions (especially the black haired one) and I love the gorgeous colouring omg! You must tell me how you did it! <3 <3
