That background is so pretty, lovely colours! Did you do that?!?

Who is it you're drawing btw? I don't think I know the characters. ^^"

Thanks^^ Yes, although I didn't draw the buildings etc individually, they're custom photoshop brushes. The colours are my doing, though (y so eyesearing -_-;;)

Crawford and Schuldig, psychic evil henchmen from Weiss Kreuz. They are not v recognisable at AU silhouette stage though XD

Love this! Man that is a cool background--so awesome. (And that foreground! Just love the way you've done that grass/ground & shadows mix.)

(Sorry it is frustrating--fwiw, from this it looks like it's going great, and well on its way to kick-ass.)

Thanks^^ It's okay, I'll get over it. Sorry the buildings are not v feudal-space-palace-like, they can be swapped out if necessary. It's really hard controlling the pen for fine detail on the figures -_-;;. The loose schematic doodles are fine, but after that...

Any thoughts on what colours the costumes should be?

Hmm... no firm thoughts on costume-color; I guess the Takatori-dudes should tend to one family of colors, the Fujimiya-Crawford faction another, and... I kinda pictured Schuldig rocking something a little distinct from the others, befitting his talent/station (maybe something signifying a nod to his Fujimiya-fealty, belying the Takatori brand he's sustained?).

I was kind of thinking something near earth tones. But I'm cool with whatever fits the scheme of a particular picture. (fwiw, the Schuldig thing I'm working on is going to be v pale, probably white-on-whites. But it's probably set in his private chambers, and these would be private and/or ceremonial clothes...)

Your pic has me working on my pic! Yay for the end of being blocked! I've spent hours and hours on this this w/end, though this very WIPpy WIP doesn't really show it so much... XD; (He's wearing layers of kimono, but he's slipping out of them, so he's bared to about mid-sternum. I think the outermost kimono will sort of reference women's wedding kimono, with that heavy ( ... )

(sorry for late reply)

That sounds cool re: kimono colours. I haven't got as far as colouring yet so we can put off the specifics until later XD. Man I hadn't even thought about kimono patterns, I was going to just put a few different ones on top of each other and hope no-one noticed ^^;;.

I like how yr WIP is going :D especially the headdress and the eyes. But I liked the more dramatic downwards 'camera' angle in the rough, here it's more straight-on - from the angle Schuldig's body is at here, the base of the kimono should be at the waist rather than the head.
