Description
NOTE: I will re-upload this, once I've finished it to my satisfaction.La. I waited until about 8 PM on April 1st, before beginning this. Go me! Sorry *nyanko-chan , but I got really burned out, working on that comic of mine. *slump* Apologies again for this, but you are the rock, so even if it is'n't my best, I wanted to draw for you [again... ;;].
Anyhow, this is Markesh [male] and Retrab [female], characters from *nyanko-chan 's original graphic novel, Next Exit, due to hit stores this Fall. [Psst, go buy it, when you can - it's being published by Slave Labor Graphics]. She's holding a promotional contest, and this is my sorry excuse of an entry.
Much love for you, *nyanko-chan .
Image stats:
OpenCanvas, per usual. Took about 4 hours, since that's all I had, until the Midnight deadline.
Legal jargon:
Markesh, Retrab, and Next Exit are copyright © *nyanko-chan / C. Lijewski / Slave Labor Graphics 2004.
Artwork is mine, 'yo.

Wow! It's so amazing! I really love the colours - I actually used this as inspiration for one of my graphic folio assignments - *don't worry your site adress and credits was put in as some sort of a bibliography*
but it's a really fantastic piece - even though you say you've rushed it - i think it's fantastic! the sky especially is beautiful!

This is my first time coming across your artwork. It's really amazing. It took me 15 minutes before I could stop licking the screen haha.. no I didn't lick it, but I did stare for quite a while so I figured I might as well comment.

You know, I wouldn't have noticed the missing circles/lines on Retrab's pants if you hadn't told me xD
I love the way you colored the sky... The lighting is so beautiful *_* And your telephone poles kick my ass all over the place.
...Ow.

Oooh, I really like this! The colors, poses, background, everything is awesome! The only thing that bothers me is Retrab's eye. I think it's too much to the (my) left. But anyway, this is still a great piece of work! Good job

This is soo good. I really wanted to enter that contest. Too bad I can't draw
I love this so much. The way you do eyes is wonderful! I think I stared at "Beloved Demons and Angels" forever, because of eyes. Their poses are terrific as well. Great entry, in my opinion.

nice color job on this - the onylt hing that doesn't sit well with me is teh rainbow background... lineart and color on the rest of the piece is wonderful - i really like this
I think the part of the rainbow that is tripping me up is that there is too much turquoise in it.
Good luck with the contest as well
