Description 'Twas drawn during my exam week... I wanted to practise colouring pictures with watercolours (after several years of not painting). You can see a whole lot of mistakes, especially at Yuli's wings and Smile's hair. -_-; The background didn't come out like how I wanted it to though... wanted to do something grundge-like but I didn't know how to. Araraa. But overall, I'm quite happy with it. xD

+ Mechanical pencil, ink pens, colour pencils & watercolours
+ Deuil (Smile, Ash & Yuli) {c} KONAMI

That is the sexiest thing I've seen all day. And the thing is, porn trolls were spamming the board I was on before now. This still tops my day. ;D

I think you got the grundge look down. Maybe a bit more splatters to accent it or something. **shrug** What do I know.
I love love LOVE the colouring, you poop. It's wonderful. <3

ROFL welllll I got kinda sick of Yuli *always* showing his face to his fans so I made him face behind XDXDXDD Maybe for only one concert, and that's it XDXD

Thanks!!

...mistakes? *doesn't see it*
I really do love your take on Deuil. It's always an enjoyable thing to see(I'm familiar with your Yuli's from your doujin ^^)...because I am so very familiar with the characters~ It's a very bold move to have the most popular member not facing his adoring fans though xD I have never seen that done before! ...at least, at the moment I can't remember a time when I have. Usually it's like, Yuli right in the forefront, other members, notsomuch. If you ask me, he looks just as good behind as he does in front though That's a cool pose for him. And you're able to show off what a nice job you did with the coat creases then too~ And! All this talk about Yuli, but I must add! Really like the collar on his outfit. With it's spiky fluffiness
I'm babbling, so... finish up by saying the coloring throughout looks excellent, really smooth~ And so do the folds done in clothing, and the shading on Smile's bandages...! I admire how it all looks~

silpholion In reply to lemon-poppy [2005-03-17 11:20:54 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that is exactly why I drew this Deuil pic like that XDXD Almost every single fanart I saw on the internet had Yuli as the focus point and Smile and Ash are just somewhere in the picture (which is kinda sad..). I've never saw a fanart of Yuli that showed him from the back either, that's why. Most of them were just focusing on how bishie he is from the front view and so on (which gets kinda boring after awhile..)

And thank you so much for your comment!

I really, really love this :0 I think you did an amazing job with the watercolours considering you haven't used them for a very long time. I honestly didn't notice those mistakes until you pointed them out ^_^;

I love the composition and the colours you've chosen, it does give a slightly dark and grungy effect, and it's very stylish.

Watercolours suit your style very well, you should definitely use them more :0

I will, when I have the time. I find that watercolouring is pretty time-consuming XD

graffitee [2005-03-15 07:25:45 +0000 UTC]

This looks so... angsty. Mmmmmm. And the colouring is spiffy, like something you see on a manga cover, maybe cause the texture looks copic-ish. The BGs looks pretty great to me

Fenix should do more water colours :B

silpholion In reply to graffitee [2005-03-16 06:30:27 +0000 UTC]

Ooh, angsty? XD Thank you! I did use a Copic marker fyi, just a grey one. And I learnt something... Copic markers resist everything. Water, watercolours.. you name it. Except inks. @_@

I will, when I have the time

Not BAD, given that you haven't painted in ages (Really damn good, actually!)
I especially love how the yellow coat came out; just something nice and soft and atmospheric about it.

Thanks ^^ The last time I held a brush was in 2002 I think... never painted after that, unless you count school banners.

Yellow? Ara, it's actually brown. But then when I scanned it it became this weird yellow-ish colour XPXP
