Description
that I hated to see from you....
I wonder why Gen is looking bitchy though. Although he's a very gruff character he can be surprisingly understanding when he sees some-one is unhappy (and he feels they're not just acting that way to scam him in some way)
When I sat down to draw the pencils for this I switched to E entertainment and they were having a countdown of top 15 Hollywood tragedies. I only caught the end though, but number 3 on the list was the death of Steve Irwin, something which really hit me hard when it happened (I cried for 3 days straight).
Then while I was working on some of the colour I was on Discovery Channel watching 'Dirty Jobs' and they happened to be in a snake farm wrestling crocs which of course made me think of Steve Irwin again. as a result, I drew a lot of this picture with a heavy heart.
I think I'm getting better with clouds.
This picture is very basic and simplistic, but I hope you guys like it anyway.
Background - Painter IX
Usagi and Gennosuke - Photoshop CS3
Please hit download for full image. dA's downscaling makes the picture look a little fuzzy and I hate that

Usagi:"Oh when i will see him again... my dearest little son...praised be the day when i can hold and squeeze him tight again."
Gen:"Harumph! Again you are snoozing in whoknowswhere and i want to find an inn with sake soon! Lets move it long ears !"

I love the gradual way, the color inside his ears, changes. Therapeutic art! Perfect way to get out those emotions that ambush us from time to time

Thank you very much Although this wasn't really therapeutic XD;; I just drew it cuz I wanted to and that happened to be what was playing on TV at the time.

The diferent shades of blue (including the subtil hint of blue in your shading, you clever person you) and the sear emotion draws me in. It's a beautiful work of art all around, I actually feel like i'm there with them!

Gen is grumpy because his friend is in some sort of pain and he can do nothing to ease it. That's what it looks like anyway.
I think... Gen has this idea of Usagi as some sort of super-warrior, untouchable and indestructible... He knows he's not, not really, but with all the crazy scrapes Gen finds himself in, Usagi is a solid ally... someone who can handle himself and get himself out of whatever insane situation Genusuki gets him into.
Except sometimes he can't. And some things can't be fixed. Some hurts can't be healed... and not everything can be laughed off over a bottle of sake.
Lovely pic. Obviously it stirred a reaction from me... I hope that's what you were going for.
The clouds are amazing.
Rejoicing in the day,
-Mary

I love how you drew Usagi; his face is so soft and scared but it's done amazingly! ~♥
And you're right, the clouds rock ^o^
Great job! ^^

No problem!
And Usagi does have some cute moments in the actual book as well so you can't get too mad about it XD

It's a simple picture but I can get the feelings and emotions from this picture very well. Personally I really like it for that, it's simple yet very emotional. It's so good. Also you are getting better with clouds X3
And God Steve Irwin's death was so sad, so very sad. People are like "Well you didn't know them personally" well no but they can still mean something to you. I cried a little when Dennis Hopper died as well as Charleton Heston and got really sad when Harvey Pekar died. Anyways the point is I know what you mean when you drew this.

I simply love how you colored all of this! For some reason I'm wanting to pet Usagi's little floppeh ears.
