Heh heh, this threw me for a loop: Sasuke in Kirayasha style!

But in a good way.

But besides that, they look so pretty together! This one reminds me of those classic Japanese silk paintings... I don't know why, maybe the elegance of it?

Anyway, nice job!

  *laughs* I never imagined I would do it myself, so if you were thrown for a loop imagine how i felt. XD I totally messed up his hair in the lineart too. *laughs* Luckily I showed it to Kaze-chan who gave me a great pic of him to ref off of for that hair.
  
  *huggles* I know you meant it in a nice way.
  
  Thanks! Really?! Maybe... I did spend some time looking at old woodblock prints (*laughs* I never knew how "naughty" those were. XD) and maybe a bit of that rubbed off?

  Yes... them old Japanese artists were...
  
  well....
  
  at least now we know where Miroku gets it. *le sigh*
  
  Ha ha, Sasuke's hair is weird... I think he uses the same hairdresser as Cloud (FF7) and Hitsugaya (Bleach).

  *laughs* Oh yeah...^^;
  
  Could be! *winks*
  
  *laughs* that it is... but then anime is full of strange gravity defying hairstyles, not to mention hair colors that would look more at home in a crayon box. *winks*

Oh that is so lovely. I love the way you did their hair. It's a little hard to see the faces though. It looks like their faces are stuck together somehow. But the colours are lovely. I wish I could do that.

  I wonder if that's my monitor... Someone else made a comment on another one of my pix that the faces were very soft & not too well defined, yet when I look at it, I cna't see what they're talking about. This actually looks quite dark, or at least for for me as I have a light touch when coloring. Hmmm... I'll have to get someone look them over before I post in the future...^^;
  I usually just pic a few colors & work in shades of them. In that pic, there's orange fr the skin tones, blue on his shirt & hair (his hair is the balck part of blue) she's all pink with the same blue on her obi, the flowers are pink, yellow, purple & green, grass is green & sky blue, so if you add it up, it's only 6 colors. You can do it, it's not as hard as you think, because if I cna do it, anyone can!

  It might be the monitor yeah. I saw differences between my home monitor and the ones I have at work.
  
  I'm gonna give it a try with colouring then. I work only with pencils as of now.

  *nods* That could be it then...
  
  You should! I know I couldn't get the hang of it at first until I thought of it as painting on canvass.
  Good luck! i look forward to seeing your cg stuff!
