I recently picked up the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle manga out of curiosity (I was collecting XXXHolic at the time), and ... kinda fell in love with it.
I love all the characters, admittedly, but Fai and Kurogane's relationship makes me laugh. So I just had to draw something that represented how I saw them. :)
I wasn't intending to cel-shade it, but when I was putting down the flats in OpenCanvas, I decided that it'd likely look better, so did it that way.
Big Kitty and Big Puppy! I love Fye and Kurogane, heck Fye is the whole reason I watch this series. I put up with all the whiney, baby voiced, stupid and weak, one-dimensional personality, clamp's trademark ditzy girl characters just so I can watch Fye pick on Kuro.
*nods* Sakura does -not- come off well in the anime. She's kinda sweeter in the manga, but she does spend a large chunk of the first couple of books asleep...
Fai and Kuro-pi's relationship is just too awesome, isn't it?
Most of Clamps "heroines" are disgustingly babyish and helpless. They grate on my nerves. The only reason I watch Tsubasa is for Fye and Kurogane, they are great "frenimies".
Some of CLAMP's females have been nifty, like Arashi and Satsuki, but... yeah, most of the heroines have been pretty angsy and whiny. I guess it's a popular thing in Japan, but it's still annoying. x.x Sakura isn't quite so annoying in the manga though, I was quite shocked how suddenly useless and breathy she was in the anime...
Definately never heard of the manga but this is realli awesome. Great job on... everything I suppose. And you don't need to set it to candy coated critiques. No one can say bad when your doing this good.
Aiyah! This is great! =D Nyah!! Awesome job! It looks just like them! xD Although the Lineart is a bit thick, that's okay. I think it fits with it. very cute! I want that plushie!

Girl? O.o Hehe, he's 100% guy.
As to the small shoulders... People seem to complain that I tend to make shoulders big. I was trying to make him look delicate, even if he isn't all that really...

Yeah, and it kinda irks me when people think Fye's a girl. Anyhow I hope they resume airing TRC here soon because now there's no decent anime on tv. I only saw the first season so far. Btw, isn't Kurogane's head band is supposed to be red? I think it would be good for this pic although it still looks great.
I think it might take a while for them to air the next series... I'm downloading it on BitTorrent right now because it's not been licensed yet. ^_^; They've not shown it here on TV yet though - I'm miffed!
And yeah, it's red in the anime, isn't it? ^_^; This is the problem with only having the manga... no colour. Plus Sakura and Syaoran are on nearly every cover of the 9 books I have. ^_^; I felt a bit embarrassed when I saw the anime and realised I'd got the colour wrong... On the other hand, I took a guess at the blue on Fai's shirt and it somehow turned out to be right. ^_^; I guess good and bad luck struck all at once on it. _^^;;
So that's what it's about! That's so annoying, the whole licensing thing. And I was thinking because I live in Israel we get everything late.^_^; I guess I'll have to wait till they bring the next season here or something, I don't feel like beginning to download everything. Maybe I should get a manga provided I can find one. Don't you think they should make a color manga sometime? But I guess it's all trial and error.
I agree that it'd be great if CLAMP made a full-colour manga. :o There aren't really many around... There is a full-colour compilation manga out now, called 'Robot', though. It's a collection of short stories and serials by a bunch of different artists and although it's kinda expensive, it's absolutely gorgeous!
I recommend the Tsubasa manga a lot though, it's so lovely. And the XXXHolic manga too, since it crosses over with Tsubasa. ^_^; They're both really addictive...
Really? Have you seen it? I'd love to get my hands on it. Although there's a bunch of other manga I'd like to buy... In any case I won't be buying any manga at all right now, too expensive. I can check out XXX Holic though, I found a site that has the scans.
Yep, I've actually got the first two copies. :o It's very beautiful, and very nicely made. Some of the stories are a bit... gory, but some are really funny. And some are just so beautifully done it makes me go all squidgy...
Manga is becoming more expensive, isn't it? :/ I'm glad you can read XXXHolic though, it's a great series.
If only I could go to a store and buy it, I would, but the thing is that manga is only sold in a special store and I'd have to order it. I've already read the first chapter of XXXHolic. Funny,but Tsubasa feels like a sequel to it hehe.

*was a little surprised that 'he' wasn't a 'she' when I started reading the manga...*

Nice.

Hehe, I love the term 'frenimies'. ^_^
Great job on... everything I suppose.

I'm really glad you like it~!
And... I do, in some ways. ^_^; If they're pics I really like (like this) I don't want to end up being put off it. :/ I'm such a wuss...
No one will say anything.
Don't worri.
I'm glad you like it~! And I wish I knew how to make plushies, I'd love a grumpy little Kuro-tan too...
As to the small shoulders... People seem to complain that I tend to make shoulders big. I was trying to make him look delicate, even if he isn't all that really...
Thanks~! ^_^
I really like how you drew them, great job!I gotta fave this.
