HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY GUYS.

This file is huge. Not as big as the original ( this is about 45% of the original @_@ ), but I didn't want to kill everyone with a like 20 meg file XD

ROFL It's not exactly Valentine's Day SPECIFIC (no hearts and all that hoodie hoo) but since I had done the lineart about a week ago I decided that I may as well use it as such.

So um, Happy Valentine's Day or something, Zephyr style. XD

My Zephyr (tentatively named) characters Ultema in her "casual" wear with her husband Arem in the Zephyr Academy Observatory X)

I am sooo glad to be finished with this.

I can't help but see KOS-MOS from the Xenosaga series everytime I look at that character....(even though they look very VERY different...) Must be the hair. Again, excellent job.

I get KOS-MOS and Ivy Valentine a lot for her. It has to be the hair color. She's been around for about.. ah damn. 8 years or so though. More I think? I can't remember. Thank you for the kind words though!

I would steal the man, but I'm afraid of what his little lady might do to me if I did, so I'll drool from a distance. ^^ Great piece, wonderful piece, in fact, and certainly worth the painstaking efforts I'm sure you put into it.

ultema In reply to apeacockpersian [2007-03-21 00:34:08 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I can't say she's very forgiving when it comes to people stealing Arem, but drooling from a distance is pretty safe.

Means a lot to me. Thank you for the kind words. ^^

Wow, what a beautiful image. Their poses are so natural and comfortable, and the coloring is smooth and simple, but detailed enough to really pop. And the background--wow! Okay, I could go on and on, but I'd just start babbling after awhile. Anyway, lovely piece.

Didn't some gal, wearing a diaper, drive all the way to Florida to beat her up?
ehem.... Bad jokes made about obscure current events aside, I like this. I don't mean this as an insult, but this reminds me a bit of the airbrushed pictures that used to come on Trapper Keepers.

This really deserves a fav. Great job. Love the theme, story, and the color handling. The edge handling is on the rigid side, but fits to your content perfectly. Lovely work overall.

This is beautiful, really one of the coolest scifi images I've seen in a long while! Your coloring skills are top notch, and I really dig their designs.

I think my favorite detail is her hand behind him. It shows that you really put thought into how they're interacting physically instead of just positioning them aesthetically on the page. Very cool.

ultema In reply to Snicks [2007-02-15 21:41:48 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad that little details don't go unnoticed! I do try to make sure that what's going on physically makes sense (which is why a lot of times I guess my work is a little less "dynamic" than other people's.. .but... I'd rather be less dynamic than thinking of my poor characters snapping their limbs in desperate attempts to look "cool" you know? ). I really appreciate your feedback !

If I had a dollar for every time a blatantly 'posed' shot made me snort my beverage-of-choice, I could afford to replace all those drinks!

Eep! Thanks for the watch! I'm going to go ahead and return the favor ^_^

faved..

I love all the metallic polish with the light trim... the environment and their outfits just plain rock

I also like their subtle expressions

I'd like to see these two in battle

Thank you! It's always good to know what's working in an image.

I might have to do that one day, actually. First I have to nail down my design for the F.A.U., but I am certainly putting that on my list o things to do.

Nope not at the moment. Working on commissions first since I gotta pay the bills and all. But I'll get around to it eventually.

Thanks so much :3 I would really like to do more with this setting because I'm on a huge sci fi kick right now, and I just love the setting. There's possibilities for everything in it from weird creatures to, like you said, romantic scenes that I can really have a ball with.

yep yep, sci fi is one of the best things to work with because literally anything is possible.
