Description
:3 for V-day this year, I re-did a sketch that I did for v-day last year.
[link] verison 1
I still really like the old one. :'D Before I sketched this I was going to just color the one from last year, but ... there's some pros and cons about both versions, really. XD I WILL ADDRESS THEM NOW:
Verison 1:
Pros: The Rose is better.. and somehow I really like how I used to draw irken faces, like eye positioning and stuff. I can't seem to pull that off anymore. This older version seems rounder and cuter.
Cons: a Few mistakes, and they're both like.. too far appart from each other. It makes it seem like Rubis was just standing there with some stuff, not really "trying" to be suave. XD
Version 2:
Pros: Ru's leaning in to Saphy more, better layout of characters... Rubis's finger positions make more sense. The whole idea of the picture seems to come together more than the last one.
Cons: My style of Irkens has become more... "raw". It's not rounded like it used to be, which in SOME cases is good... (like for my character Skye) but when I'm drawing characters like Rubis and Saphy (who are SUPPOSED to be cute and rounded) it doesn't look as cute as it could have been. The rose also doesn't look as great as the last one.
XD haha. Over all I think I like this new version best. :3
and.... *___* I LOVE SHADING SAPHY'S EYES AND I NEED TO DO IT MORE OFTEN~ they're pretty. ;0;
:B hehe. Rubis is trying to be suave. LOL. Rubis isn't so good at being someone he's not.
Oops. I forgot to bring down the shading on the rose... DX too dark now. oh well, it's too late to change that cause I .. merged all the layers. XD;
:B ANYWAY I hope you like it! Happy Valentines Day!

I really love how you do backgrounds. They're so light and neat that it just really gives life to the picture, ya know. Awesome work yet again, Zen.

I love their expressions! You can tell exactly what they're thinking just by looking at their faces XD
And yes, very smooth Rubis XDDD

it's that frontward perspective, imo. in the older version they're kinda 3/4 turned to the side, and something in that perspective makes it that much cuter.
oh yeah Rubis is just WINNING HER OVA. *dances to Rico Suave*

...XD no way. I mean the style in which I draw them is kinda raw.... it can only be fixed with how I actually draw them to begin with.

I like this one better.
Rubis:"Hey baby..."
Saphy:"uh..."
lolz! loves the lineart and shading. Jeez, I wish I had someone to give me chocolates, and roses taste good too, sometimes... XD

XD haha. And see that would be so out of character for Rubis to call her "baby" ... XD So it'd be fitting for Saphy to be like "oh geez" XD
X3 I want chocolate~

I like her expression, and she's got a sharp tongue.

This is so beautiful. Love their eyes and the colors their wearing. Blue irken eyes really are cool!
