Description Thank you ~DollM4k3r for the scan of the lineart. This is pic is no where near doing this series justice. *nods in agreement with herself*

I'm so sorry for all of you who haven't seen Now & Then, Here & There/Ima to Soku Boku to Iru. First, because you don't know what you're missing, second, because this pic is so much better for those who already know the characters- and the scenes that some of these expressions are from! This pic took me several hours to color in Photoshop, and the lineart took more time to piece together than my lineart normally does. In fact, I tried this pic a few months ago and gave up. ;

Moving on, I'm extremely satisfied with this pic as a whole, and I love how some of the characters came out (gyaa! Hamdo looks the best! How'd that happen??) Some characters... eh, yeah, I wish I could have done better *coughNabucaandSiscough* And I didn't notice Lalaru was... tilted until I inked it. XD Oh well, hind sight now.

So... yay! Go watch this series!

Nothing wrong with appreciating Hamdo, as he was a compelling villain! And that's part of what made the series so great! Thank you for your comment and the fav~!

There is not enough NTHT on dA. This is the most moving anime out there and it goes unnoticed.
It all looks good!! What are you talking about??
(I think Boo and Sara as good as Hambo)

OMG THIS POSTER IS SO MUCH WIN! There isn't so much Now & Then, Here & There fanart and it's a shame because it's such an excellent series. I love how you done the poster, it fits everybody's character perfectly in the series. :3

I know exactly what you mean! It's still one of the most potent anime I've ever seen.

And I looked over your gallery- you've got great art!

Wow! You're so ambitious Wafuru! I've never even attempted such a large group picture! I like it! I've only heard of the series in passing though...
Next time I have the option to se it I will!

Aikun [2005-09-12 06:00:44 +0000 UTC]

The composition is fairly well organized. The accidental tilting is actually fine. Most characters turned out well. I like Soon the most even though her body position makes me feel all sad again. TT_TT
...
I have long wanted to do a big picture with everyone on it as well. SOMEDAY!

Wafuru In reply to Aikun [2005-09-12 06:34:36 +0000 UTC]

Heh heh, it's supposed to make you sad. ^_~ It made me want to watch the last DVD all over again while working on it. ;_; But alas, all I have is AMVs to watch!
And gosh, 'everyone on it', you say? I kept thinking of more minor characters to put on it the whole time I was coloring it. XD
And as for a club-- I looked long and hard to find other NTHT fanart! (And found yours! yay!) I'll bet that we could get about 5 people in a club or so.. it wouldn't have to be very active, just kinda like a badge of pride! ^__^ Yay!

Aikun In reply to Wafuru [2005-09-12 22:56:50 +0000 UTC]

About the club thing, no doubt it would be inactive. You're right about the "badge of pride" thing. It's at least something to be put on Journal. PRIDE! With my busy school life, I am unable to type up club contents overnight. It would take really long also because I have no experience in group management and planning.

There are many (uh???) people who watched NTHT but never contribute any fan work or even say anything about how much they enjoyed it. Hence, in the end, we can't identify who likes or knows of it. I heard that NTHT is more "popular" in US than in Japan... that's disappointing if you consider how much fame it currently has in US.

I avoid watching the last DVD often. For the feeling to stay in my heart unworn, I allow myself to take long lapses before rewatch everything again. Sometimes I dislike the way our brain works. If some shocking force surprises or impresses us repetedly, it loses its effect (which NTHT hasn't yet). I want Nabuca to stay in my heart forever (unceasing fandom love) ! TT_TT

Arei? I thought I replied to this last night... stupid computer not sending a comment. >_<

To cut a long comment short, I agree wholeheartedly on everything. I don't have NTHT (I rented it), so I wanted to watch for a second time a while later now to refresh and savor that gut-wrentching feeling, you know? It's a good thing I don't have it, I've already jaded myself to some of my favorites... >_<
And as for a club- or rather, "support group"? XD -, that's totally fine. XD Sorry, I have a habit of bugging other people to open clubs for me because I've already done so many and have to stop myself. ; But Even I take what I dish out and go grab members to help them start, so lemme know if you even want to open one! *wink*
