Description Because it is she that I have listened to when she grumbled, or boasted. Or sometimes even when she said nothing.

The quote is from one of my most treasured books, Le Petit Prince. The little prince says this as he thinks back on the time he spent with the single rose back in his planet, and how it has made her special to him, despite all the other roses in the world.

The bond between Ryuuji and Taiga reminded me of that. It's also said that true friendship is one in which just sitting in comfortable silence feels like time well spent.

I am really loving this cosplay series!!

How did you get Miguel's eyes like that? I've been trying to figure out how you got the yankee-eye effect with eyeliner and I just can't get it!

I can apply makeup to an extent, but since I didn't have any sort of formal training, I'm pretty bad at explaining my process. I guess it helped a lot that Miguel's natural eye shape is pretty narrow. I just worked with that and drew on his face like I would on a piece of paper if I were inking a line drawing of Ruuji's eyes.

I hope that made at least the tiniest bit of sense.

Yes, it did! Haha, I probably should've guessed it was something that simple; I thought there would be some complicated eye makeup steps to go through;; Thanks for answering my question!

Gorgeous photo - and Toradora is one of my all-time favourite anime/mangas.
I completely agree more with that statement "sitting in comfortable silence feels like time well spent." It's so true... I couldn't put it better myself xD

I honestly thought this was an anime stillcap when I was viewing the thumbnail.

Jesus, I guess the ultimate for art is to have a painting that looks like a photo, and a photo that likes like a painting.

I'm in love with ToraDora now, thanks to you! Such a fantastic series; although I'm only on the third episode as it stands.

Miguel and Ysabel are perfect for these characters; and the photography is fantastic too. Outstanding job ;w;" makes me all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it.

Miguel has the eyes of a killer!
