Description This is DEFIANTLY one of my most favorite works that I've done I love how it looks I think I drew Kanda a little weird but other than that, I think it turned out nice.

I wanted to draw Kanda and Chi chained to each other with the symbolism that both of them are bound to the Black order due to certain circumstances. I also wanted the floor they're laying on to reflect themselves but have their reflections on the opposite person's side. I had also had a rly cool idea to make the floor look like stained glass (like in the Church windows) with a giant Cross in the middle but I didn't know how to do that effect so I went with the next best thing. Hope you guys like

Chi's boobs look awkward to me O.o; Oh well XDDD Oh and I know I made Kanda's mark on his chest WAY too big XDDD My fault. Also the black line things are suppose to be scratches Its to symbolize how they get hurt because they're bound but I failed at drawing those too

Chihiro is mine

It wasn't easy doing the background, I will say that XDDD I had to copy and resize the pic, mirror image it, the paste it into the background and go over it with a transparent white color and add shine so it looked like a reflection of some kind and then add the shadow from their bodies XDDD But it was a lot easier then doing stained glass with a cross in it like I had originally planned XDDD
