Description BUHAHAHAHA. Krhm...

"More than 6 years has passed between really close friends. The time was painfull for both of them but it taught them what it is to miss someone. One fought his way up with wounds, being many times near death which shaped his ways to be more brutal yet able to be gentle.. for his true friend. Other went for a long peaceful journey to find his inner self in the middle of the chaos. A heavy weight was lifted from his heart when he finally realized it.. They belong together. All waiting was finally over when they both met again, making them even closer friends..."


Ooooh yes. *grin* my chara (the long haired) and ~kiwii 's chara from FFXI Yesh.. little Black mage (currently 59) all blushing and maybe shaking a little bit on top of a calm Paladin (75) who waits... ;D

HAHA HEAR ME ROAR!!! They're both men if that isn't clear already.

Wow, you can tell he's a Paladin just from his expression. Or maybe that's just my imagination... XD I love how he's got gloves on but no shirt. How did it come off?! I do wonder how the BLM is holding up his weight with his hand and arm at that angle.

Ahaha, I just realized this picture is from 2006. I'll stop picking on it now~! It really is gorgeous.

Yes, the arm is "off limits" from anatomy. And to study the anatomy of Elvaans.. his whole arm should be twice the length maybe.. Tee hee

I think the Paladin is drawn best here with nicer hair and overall art-worthyness praise. I like the other guy though too especially his face (both are drawn very well) yet I think the shoulder and how the arm comes down needs a little refining.

Overall nice peice though

Yes yes, that's how it "should" have been, but I took the freedom. And normally the one being pinned is the one who orders around. Now he just waits for his little one to do something in fear.. panic.. enjoying the moment totally. So I could say it's STILL the latter you said. Haha.

I don't know how to properly critizise. I'll get eaten because of this. /ok
Critizising is art in itself and writing it correctly tells people you're good at it!

Anyhow - this is a very nice, clean piece. While people think I'm a badass who doesn't hates lineart, I actually appreciate it quite much even though I like to keep my drawings messy and sketchy.

Well, the "incorrect" things I see at first glance are paladin's left glove and shoulder, the shadows that are there but seems to be also "wandering" and the fabric that doesn't show much.

The pretty things I see must be paladin's eyes, the soft but yet strong lines that is the main thing that creates the athmosphere in this picture, very nice anatomically correct fingers aaaand now that I stare at it, I love that paladin. He's sexy. uhm, anyways -

I think you should draw more different builded males - younger, midgets, very old, ugly, skinny, chubby, extremely muscular, etc. So far most of your charas seems to have the same build, which looks good, but they lack somewhat an unique bodytype. Like if you changed paladin's and dark mage's faces, the one under would look shy and the one up would look very, sexy, hot, dominative, extremely drool-worthy male that I would love to-
*cough.*
errrm, yes, as I was saying. I think a small practise, like 2-3 pages of 'em might be good for you.

Well, the picture looks otherwise balanced, but I'm a little worried about the dark mage's hand. It seems to be floating above the bed. Maybe few wrinkles behind it would do the trick.

Overall those don't bother me much and I love the athmosphere. and the hot guy. /ok

*streches her hands.* I love critting. <3 Sorry for the lenght of it.

THAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS

You don't even KNOW how refreshing it is to get CRITIQUE!!!

Yes, I agree with you about his shoulder, it's rather off now that I look at it again. Maybe the shoulder joint should have been at higher position compared to his body. And with that I should correct the whole position of his hand. *Puts the picture behind glass* Won't touch it, next piece will be improved *nods to herself*

Hmm. Yea thanks for pointing out the "male body clones" ;;; I have the problem that I like a certain type of a body >.<; Should get rid of the "faves something more than other"... Can't improve that way ;_; (Maybe the reason is also that most of the male reference photos are from body builders XD;; Just to see the anatomy more clearly @_@; )

Yes, the "usual" idea is that the dominating one is on top, being all aggressive to the one below him BUT I soooo wanted to make an exception to that common way of thinking And with the character's personalities, it fit quite well. I get my grins from the top one who's "lost" in the situation and doesn't know what to do exactly. Hhihhih. Yes.. A nice little teasing, if you know what I mean

Oh and with all the anatomy errors, I can say the mage's hands are too short compared to his whole body and the view doesn't quite fit in with the bed >.>; oohhohhoh.

You know.. GIMME MORE!! MOOORRE CRRRITIQUEEEE And yes, I'll practice different male bodies, and I bet I'll just loooove to do that

yes, these male bodies are quite apealing *wolf whistles*, and remember: there are different kinds of hot dudes... wirys, hunks, surfers, swimmers, lithe acrobats, african drummer shirtless dudes... it can go on and on...

Onis In reply to pika [2006-07-10 16:14:48 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I think you should leave the picture like that and just try to avoid the same mistakes in future. ^^ If I tried to correct all the drawings I've ever done, I'd die. XD

Well, "male body clones" is pretty normal. Most of my friends that I know irl does the same (I did the same too. n_n; Now I'm trying to break the habit). And it's not wrong to draw them either! Just a few sketch here and there of diff body types will help a lot - it usually helps to understand anatomy overall much better and then it's easier to draw hot muscular male types, which also seem unique. <3

mm, yes, I think that brings a lot more to the picture. o_O It's way more... how should I say it... effective. Even though the dominating one isn't holding the other down, I can see which one's the uke and which one's the seme. > I really like this pic... <3

I didn't notice the mages hand otherwise. ^^ Just that it doesn't seem to touch the bed that much.

<3 whee, I didn't get eaten.

pika In reply to Onis [2006-07-10 16:33:20 +0000 UTC]

The only thing I don't quite get is what you mean by the hand doesn't touch the bed, the hand holding the arm? Like it seems he isn't "on" the hand to hold the balance? The arm which touches face, is in air, not on the bed :0 And the one under is holding the upper one behind his neck. Err, I should have done more contrasts to the lines XD; Soo unclear arm mess or something.

Onis In reply to pika [2006-07-10 17:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Hopefully I can explain this. ^^
I mean the hand that holds mr. paladins hand.
And I mean that the fingers looks really good, but his wrists - it looks like it's floating around 5 cm above the bed. The hand seems to bend a little towards the bed, but not enough - if it would there would be atleast some lines left in the bed's fabric. This wouldn't be an error otherwise, but I'm not sure how he keeps his balance. ^^

pika In reply to Onis [2006-07-10 18:04:48 +0000 UTC]

Aah now I got it. His hand isn't even suppose to hit the bed :0 His thumb is on the bed, leaning the whole hand onto the bed halfly The wrist can't even bend that much that he'd have all his fingers like that and then wrist touching the bed. Ouch Oo; I mean.. The Pally's arm with that glove is too big for the mage to hold him well enough against the bed ;

He mostly tries to keep his balance with his legs. He has his knees on the bed. Aand what I can see what's coming, that little mage probably falls over to the left side becuase he loses his balance when that other grabs a better hold and finally teases him into kissing

Onis In reply to pika [2006-07-10 18:33:32 +0000 UTC]

ahaha, that explains it. ^^ And my hands do actually bend that much. o_O I think. And, well I think he leans too much forward to keep his balance, but I can see this is critical for the storyline. *Thinks and nods like grandpas do.* Yes yes... clever. XD
