Description (okay so the first time I submitted this the preview didn’t work at all so...had to make it a different format so here we go trail 2)

Got this done a while ago but didn’t get to uploading it till today.

This is my attempt at drawing fanart of Fruits Basket/ Furuba by Natsuki Takaya. I think I did a pretty alright job at this seeing as how I really tried to go out of my way to focus on each person separately before moving on to another person. I was trying to hard to have each person have their own unique detail of their own from each other. (Trying to pick colors for Momiji’s clothes took so long) Although doing so made the completion of this take a very VERY long time. @_@ I got frustrated a lot and blanked out several times but I finished it!

Starting from Top left going right to left: Uotani Arisa, Hanajima Saki, Souma Akito, Souma Kureno, Souma Kagura, Souma Ritsu, Souma Momiji, Souma Hatori, Souma Shigure, Souma Yuki, Souma Hatsuharu, Souma Ayame, Souma Isuzu (Rin), Souma Hiro, Souma Kyou , Souma Kisa and featured in full body Honda Tohru.

I think the backlash of this piece is that I’m still trying to get the hang of doing backgrounds and I think I did alright but I need to work on that still. The odd side effect of doing this is it seems to have drained me of drawing anything else since the day I completed it. I feel worn out or something. @_@ I’ll get back in the groove later though. =3

There*s not much to say that hasn*t already been said, but... i*ll say it anyway. XD

This is quite lovely! It*s not too bright and chipper, but just light enough to show you all of the characters and their pretty colors. I really like Akito*s kimino (or whatever that is) too. XD

String-of-Blue In reply to yippiee [2007-08-11 03:12:52 +0000 UTC]

no worries. thank you again and also for the fav. I was really trying to not have it too bright cause my computer at the time was showing everything 2x darker then what it was really going to be. It was hard determining if something was going to be too bright or not.

String-of-Blue In reply to F-F-freak [2007-07-03 03:08:53 +0000 UTC]

Nothing to impressive really I sketched/drew it on tablet paper with a pencil. After trying to clean it up as much as I could I scanned it into my computer then transfered it over to Adobe Photoshop 7. I did adjustments on there to clean it up and make the lines darker then did bits of erasing here and there. Then I just colored it all in. Used several different layers per person and object then at the end I merged all the layers together and did shiny.

String-of-Blue In reply to F-F-freak [2007-07-04 05:42:10 +0000 UTC]

Um...it sounds like it I've come to notice lots of things sound easy. Like take swimming. They say its easy but I sink like a rock and haven't been able to swim for oh so many years. Watching Finding Nemo made me really want to but alas!

So...well I guess its sorta easy cause I've been practicing but it's harder then it sounds I guess. I mean I use a mouse to and it takes me a long time to finish things. It depends on the person cause I swear some of the things on DA posted are quoted at only taking "2 hours or less" for something that looks nearly and utterly impossible. So it depends on the person.

Yep and thank you again

Yep although if you're talking about the red bird in the picture thats suppose to be Kureno's bird form that he never transform into anymore.

Thank you much again.
