SS_Red String

Well, I'm so in SS mood these days, and this is supposed to be a video tutorial about painting in SAI. But I still edit and chopping the video, so.. yeah.. wait for it, please? Nothing great like mind-blowing tricks or something, but maybe some of you want to see it how I paint in SAI (and it's so random) :D

Inspired by.. THE choke (I forgot what chapter), when Sasuke almost fall to the lowest level (like, he just a thread length before killing Sakura. WTF Kishi?!). But then, even after that, she still cannot get over him.. it sounds like a more than just a crush feeling, a deeeeep love. Tragically deep. Ouch, so angsty!

But you know, the angst is something that made me obsessed of this pairing <3 (I mean, beside the hotness.)
:P

SasuSaku : Once

He was once... a great man.
She was once.. full of genuine smiles.
Maybe later.. they could become what they once was.


----

Inspired by chapter 540.
You know, in this point I don't care if SS happens only in fanon, but somehow, 540 sparks my hope that maybe..maybe it could happen in canon to *praypraypray.

Anyway, despise my lack of optimism, how could anyone doubt that it's Sasuke that Sakura thinking of/had in mind when she was said " there's someone I like " to reject that love-letter fodder nin. It's Sasuke and always be Sasuke only. And more over, how could she got bashed so much just because 1 SMALL panel of her thinking of him, and not in great light, despite all the awesome things she did 6 pages after..
Gosh.. so many people are that desperate huh? -__-'


I HATE MAKING NOSE!! GAAAH!!
Anyway, I hope to make it into speed painting, but somehow it took longer than I predict.
My skill is indeed becoming rusty.. Really need more and more practice indeed..

1R : Dark Path

The truth, this pic already sit on my harddisk from a very long time, but I just got to finish it now cause many reasons (mostly of lazyness, anyway :P).

I once remember reading that Relena's character design was inspired by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, which could be considered true if we take a look at HRH Queen of the World coronation dress. It was blue-print imitation of what Hepburn wore in Roman Holiday.

So, I want to render semi-real Relena based on Audrey Hepburn face. You might recognize her facial structure since I based Relena's outline from one of Hepburn's famous photo. I just changed her hair, and eye color, but everything else is the same. Heero, on the other hand, was rumored to be inspired by Japanese actress Uchida Yuki (if I'm not mistaken), but somehow, her photos or pictures cannot sit well with Heero's characteristic on my mind. So I took Japanese actor Kashiwabara Takashi as the reference, with slight change here and there.

I was aiming to make a realistic style, but somehow, I felt giving them semi-real will do more justice (well.. I still lack the skill, that's all.. :P).


The title is inspired by Celine Dion song "I Believe in You" which I think describe Heero and Relena complicated relationship very well, in which they must part each own way, a long, hard, and lonely (and somehow dark) path before they could meet again. (And in such a f*cked up way according to the recent GW novel titled Silent Teardrop).


Anyway, enjoy :)

Ulquihime : Auntumn Breath

I found this quite old lineart in my artwork folder, and decided to finish it just for getting my self some exercise. Well, somehow I hope Ulquiorra will be revived somehow *wishwishwish*. Bleach is less fun without him :/

SasuSaku : Darling

Another SS fanart that I made to color it this week :P
No concept whatsoever, I just want to make a romantic and fluffy SS fanart, contrary to my usual angsty SS drawing :D

Yeah I know, OOC Sasuke.. But who cares? IC Sasuke in manga make me want to kick his ass, so I made him sweet and lovingly here ^^. Done in SAI, and yeah.. once again I abuse 'water' tool to blending the color. :P

SasuSaku : Highschool Sweetheart

AU SasuSaku, of course. Inspired by so many AU-highschool SS fanfic out there in FFnet, but only a few that has actual setting in Japan, mostly adapting US's school. So I made them as Japanese regular high-schoolers. Sasuke as a captain in some sport club, I think.. while Sakura more into study club or student organization. He was the 'it boy', while she was only known as a name in top three test rank. They were stranger to each other, until they met at as school festival committee, when Sakura fell in love immediately and Sasuke thought of her as an annoying 'strict-to-the-rule' girl.

Then, I believe you could guess the rest of the story, if not, then read as many shoujo manga as you can. :D SS should be done in shoujo-style, it would be perfect. <3>

Done in SAI, abusing 'water' tool to blend the colors, with my newly-won Intuos4 *show off*. Hohoho..

Anyway, I'm so in SS mood these days. I made many SS sketches, which I hope I could color them all in once. I turned to be an impossible thing to do, so expect me to post more SS fanart one or two a week. In regular period, I hope. Anyway, here's some sketches I haven't able to color (yet).

1R : Like Adam and Eve

A fast doodle for Love Reflection Mailinglist 2010 yearly pledge. I did it in just less than three hours since I don't have many time anymore T^T (oh, work..), it didn't end up too fancy or such.. I hope you don't mind and enjoy it. 

Sorry for the lateness guys.. :)

Gundam Wing (c) Sunrise

1R : Classic Tale

Heero and Relena, duh. Need I say more?

My first beloved and always-be-no.1 OTP. Enough said.

Relena's gundamnium liontin was inspired by very amazing 1R fanfics : Manifestation and its sequel Realization by Isis cw.

UlquiHime : Not the End, Yet.

I made it base on "The Ash" chapter. 

What a dirty tease, Kubo-sensei.. very dirty.. but also very beautiful, though. I believe you'll bring Ulq back, no pretense. I know it. WE know it.

Just wait and see.

:D

SasuSaku : Lollipop

Old work that I did in water color, but it goes so ugly that I need to edit it digitally. I like the end result :)

SasuSaku : The Romance

This is a pic I've promised Miko-chan. Thanks for the many amazing fanfics of yours, and also fun (fangirling) time you've shared with me.. (You can have Kakashi, I'll have my Heero, thank you ^^).

Careful on the workfield, honey.. and wink a handsome soldier for me hehehe.. I am looking forward to chat (and having fun) with you again! <3

Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu

Long ago Kakashi said Sakura has a genjutsu potential, but so far.. only in anime (or movie? I forgot. I never watch it anyway..) that actually showed that she used a genjutsu during fight. It was named Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu (Sakura's Petal Storm Technique), in which Sakura's body turned into a storm of cherry blossom petals. I think it was a cool jutsu <3.

I hope Kishi will start Sakura's development soon. 

i love Sakura, really.. So, do not make her crying all the time, Kishi... Please?

UlquiHime : Midnight Wedding

This was an old lineart that somehow, I forgot to get it done. :P

I made it when I was sooo crazy about UlquiHime (like.. around chapter where he almost touch her breast? :D). I didn't intend it to be wedding theme, but somehow.. it was. ^_^"

I do wish Kubo Tite bring the stoic guy back.

Bleach was never be the same without Ulquiorra.. T^T.

SasuSaku : Silent Harmony.

First post.

Oh yeah, baby.. it is SasuSaku! XD

I'm just experimenting the art-style here. The pose was taken by a photo in flickr (sorry I forgot the link -__-"), if I'm not mistaken, it was a candid photo in a train. the pose is so romantic that I immediately stole it and made a SS fanart from that :D.

Anyway, this pic is for the long-awaited SS reunion, which I hope very much will be done before the end of this year :D.

Please tell me first, and credit me if you want to use this pic. ^^
