...were you going somewhere?
A nice little romantic-y piccy of two characters from Metallan Horizons. The girl's obviously Sara (who turned out pretty nice in blue~ ) but I doubt you'll recognize the guy if you're not one of the people who I showed him to before...basically, due to the fact that I refuse to draw ugly guys, he's my rather smexy design of Ivo Robotnik. ^^ Yes indeed...young, thin and with a full head of hair. Though my heart belongs to Silver, I do crush on him sometimes, simply because I like how he turned out. That hairstyle of his is actually a stolen design from one of my anthros whom I also like a lot, a lynx named Ballista Dart who currently has yet to see DA...but will eventually, I guarantee. He's just not here yet because I'm that lazy. Heh.
This pic has a bit of an interesting story behind it pertaining to when I was drawing it...first off, I inked Robotnik's hair in the dark. Why? Because I wanted to, and it does look a teensy bit weird because of it, but actually didn't turn out too bad.
Also, while I was drawing, my cursed-atrocious-*insert colorful adjectives here* fine-tip sharpie ran out, so the fine details are inked in my old style, in fine-tip pen. You can't really tell on the scanned copy, but if you hold the original up to the light, the pen ink looks sort of reddish and weird compared to the sharpie. Yeah...
Finally, I finished inking and began coloring this pic around 11:00 at night, and for some reason decided that I absolutely had to finish it that night. So, I stayed up 'til past midnight working on it, to the point of deliriousness where you just kind of want to scribble all over the paper and call it done. I resisted that urge, though, and it turned out nice. :3
If you look closely, you can tell that I eraser-blurred the shading on Sara's dress because it looked like crap otherwise. I think I'll do that from now on for large areas, since it makes it look a lot nicer.
I love the relationship between Sara and Robotnik in Metallan Horizons...I really have fun drawing out that 'gentlemanly side' the scientist supposedly has. He always acts very sweet towards her, even though she personally thinks him a little nuts. For good reason... >>
You can read the story here. ^^ I'd appreciate it if you did!
I like comments and favs a lot! Luff to all that do one or both!
