Description Right, so I sketched this one...er...two years ago. X3; (maybe even three...) Can't remember. Though judging by the crappy anatomy I'd say early of two years ago. At any rate, tis a scene from my fanfic. Tis older Misao and Aoshi, some time before the events in chapter one start.

It was inspired by a Nelly Furtado song which title eludes me at the moment.... But yeah I can hear Misao singing that song to Aoshi, basically telling him to freakin' wake up and smell the coffee! Live life man! Give in and love your loved ones! Feel the green of the grass!

Okay I'll shut up before I further ruin the mood this pic sets. But yes, Nelly Furtado's songs are LOVE.

I'm not sure if I'll ever ink this one and color it. (JB's got sooo many pics she wants to work on...) But I will write the scene some day in the future...*if JB ever gets there...* TT;

Enjoy Misao and Aoshi by a riverbank in summertime. (JB wishes it were summer already...)

I really your Misao, k'now? First up watching RK she irritated my beyond creed, really she did.. but I've been pretty much swayed to Aoshi & Misao now, and I adore this, and I can't imagine a better GrownUp!Misao at all.
Even without colour, it's got a great summery feel to it X)
Such a sweet lil' frozen moment...

...
OMG THERE WAS A FIC??!?!?! ... ??

lol, thank you so much! I'm honored you like my Misao. Yeah, I just love her, she can be annoying, but she does have a lot of admirable traits, so I cant' help but love her. Squee, thank you so much! yeah, it does have a frozen feeling, huh?

I really like this drawing, JBram. The proportions, the framing, the flowing naturalness, is simply stunning. The picture has so much feeling in it, and yet you manage to convey it with only a few simple lines and careful thickining. You are very gifted in your craft and I only hope that I can get to your level of mastery someday. Well done!

Waii! You made me blush with that comment! Thank you very much! I'm very happy to hear this. It's one of those music-inspired pics. Those tend to be my best. ^^ Waai, you're too kind! I do wish you luck in your artistic ventures as well. I hope to continue progressing and not disappoint anyone. Thank you so much!

*Jaw OPENS*

*Doesn't close*

So....

Pretty....

Ya, I thought that was Shin for a moment ^_^, lol.

Um... wow, ya, I hope you color it...

And write it o_0, fluff makes me happy...

*Stares in total love*

Tee hee, yeah, Aoshi does look younger here than how I've drawn him in previous pics. But yesh, that's him. Shin has never worn a western suit. (he'll wear Japanese clothing but not Western ones, that's a bit above his budget. ) Hm, I guess I will write it....eventually. XD It'll be as a flashback though.

Ya know what I like about this pic is that it looks like one of those sketches they use in Disney animation. This is a pencil drawing I scanned and fiddled with on photoshop to make it darker and it ended up looking this way. Now everytime I look at it, it looks like it'll start moving! *JB is tempted to try her hand at animation but she know's she'll screw it up worse...* Thank you so much! I hope my writing of this scene will be as good...

Summoner-Lenne In reply to jbramx2 [2006-02-23 03:19:03 +0000 UTC]

Hey, it DOES look like that ^_^. (I was wondering why it did look like that actually, but ya, START MOVING PIC, I COMMAND YOU! Lol.)

I think Aoshi looks better looking younger, o_0, but doesn't everyone?

And I actually noticed how much bigger he looked compared to her and gave you MAJOR credit- I always wondered, "How on EARTH would those two even be able to KISS? I mean, he's so much TALLER than her, it's RIDICULOUS..." So, this is a possiblity ^_^, heh.

I'm sure your writing will be just as lovely, ^_^.

And I'm sure you'd be great at animation, but just warning you, it takes FOREVER, my friend tried *SIGHS* SO much complaining... and it was for like a 5 minute clip... but her program was being crappy also and stuff...

Anyway, this fits also because people always confused Misao as being much younger than she was- she looked like, 11 in Kenshin Kaden, it was ridiculous. I mean she was 21 o_0, yet....

Watsuki even said he drew her with the intent of looking like a 13-year-old-boy, so ya.

But I still love this so, SO much.... *Stares some more*

God, that is so wrong. Heck, even in my pic...if Aoshi looks like he's in his late 30's and she still looks like a teenager... But yeah, I can see Misao being one of those women who ya can't tell their age. (JB happens to be one of them.) I'm 23 but people think I'm 17. Youngest I've been confused is 14-15 cuz of when I hang out with my 15 yr old brother.

Oh I'm sure he'd find a way to kiss her... But in this scene Misao was just sitting/resting by the riverbank after a nice walk in town when Aoshi kneels down and leans over to kiss her. X3

Ya know it's funny you should mention that about her looking like a boy. When Min first sees her, she thinks Misao's a very pretty boy and gets a crush on her. (Min's like 9 at the time...) Ya can just imagine her disappointment when she finds that Misao's a girl. Ah, I crack myself.

Yeah, I hope my writing does it justice. (JB is going to be so evil with her fanfic...)

Ohh *moans* HAVE you written anymore? I'm getting so interested- and I've read some already in the first place! Lol.

I know what you mean by ageless people, I know a guy's who's 25 and looks, like, 16 or 17 *He can't grow facial hair- he complained about it yesterday* and I also know a 16 year old who's been confused as being, like, 27. (Complete OPPOSITE end of the spectrum, but ya.)

This is just sooo pretty ^_^. Lmao, you're just having both the sibilings fall for her, huh? Lol.

And your writing WILL od it justice, trust me ^_^, you're truly one of the best fanfic-writers *I'm not gonna say "authors" just because of the proffensiols like Anne Rice, you know?* I've ever read- and I've read ALOT, at that lately I can't find a SINGLE good fic, but ya....

Heh, I've never seen a pic of you.. *blinks*, Hey, you've seen me! Lol. (All creepily gothed-up and as Misao though, so it's not really a good example...)

Oh, this fanfic is going to be such, SUCH fun...

A pic of me? Hm, well there's my DA ID. That's close to what I look (sorta...) ahem. Anyways, no I haven't written more, just brainstormed a lot and gone looking back at my pics to remind myself of what I thought up in previous years.

I forgot which was the last chapter I sent you... E-MAIL ME!

Oh I hope it is fun. X3

You sent me the first two chapters.

Ahh, yes, I will email you now, hehehe......

Damn DA, deleted my post...

(I must download that song now also- I mean, umm, ya.... lmao.)

(I'll tell you also if I find any songs that fit your fic, but really, most songs I hear lately I connect to myself and all my damn angst...)

(Like the song I'm listening to right now)

("Forgive me if I admit that I'd love to, love you")

(And, "I'd be out of line telling you, 'leave her'")

("So I liek, alonely surrounded by you, ohh..."

("But I do, (I do love you...)")

("Lately I can't be happy for no one. They think I need some time to myself.")

("I try to smile but I can't remeber.... I know tommorow there'll be nothing else.")

("And I, I wanted to be, giving you everythign she's not giving.")

("And I, I wanted to see, 'cus I didn't believe what I'd been hearing....")

("You turned out to be more than I bargained for,"

("And I can tell that you need to get away"

("Forgive me, if I admit that I'd love to, love you" This is where that line came from, it's the most connecting on here...)

("We both realized it way to late, ohh...")

That was most of the song, so ya, it doesn't fit EXACTLY, but it fits crazily...

And, for instance, I endlessly connect "What's It For" to me... soo.... I may not be good for this area ^_^, lmao.

But angsty songs are good, good good good ^__^.

mwahaha! Of course not.

(btw, discovered a new song that totally makes me think of my fanfic when I hear it. Tis called "Spinning" by Zero 7. IT's sooo pretty. a bit sad, but then again, what happy song could fit Enishi or my fanfic?)

God this is beautiful. I love the way you do Aoshi. I suppose delicate and balanced are the two best words for this drawing.

Thank you so much! Aoshi isn't my favorite character but I still try to do him justice.

This is incredibly pretty. I love the way you portray Misao so much! Her dress, her hair... but most of all her hands! They look so delicate and just... ... right (for lack of a better word). Aoshi is as great as ever but if I start gushing over him I'll sit here way into the night.

Squee! Thank you! ^o^ Aww, that's okay, you may gush over Aoshi (although I normally avoid gushing directed at Mr. Icicle) But I'm very happy you like it. I made sure Misao looked small in comparison with him. Cuz although she has grown more, she's still of a petite stature (folks think she's 18, when she's really 26). Thank you so much! Your comments are so insightful. :3
