Description

EDIT: Looks like the option B's have it :D I didn't do much more than base colors cuz I wanted to move on to inking MORE drawings, since this one wasn't even meant to be colored in the first place XP I only shaded the eyes, just cuz I couldn't help it lol

They're so, like, totally BFFs~ lol

Lots of new stuff going on with these two very well known characters XP

Not only did I give them yet one more alternative outfit each, I also tried a new method of digital toning that I rather like ^^ It let me do a line art traditionally, scan it in, then fill in the black areas and such with Photoshop. Plus, besides the black sections being much better looking and less spotted, it lets me choose whether to color or ink something no matter what picture it is ^_^

That being said, I also decided to ink this because I wanted to post something before I was in danger of running out of time to today, but you can expect a color version to be coming soon :D

I normally would leave this in just plain ink, but since these are new alternative outfits, I should probably color them so people know what the scheme is if they decide to use these versions.

Just one question: When I color this, should I:

a) Update this exact deviation with the new color version, deleting the ink version altogether

b) Update this exact deviation with a new version that shows a side-by-side view of both the inked and color versions

c) Upload the color version as a deviation all on its own, adding that much more to my gallery (which is kinda too full already ^^; )

or

d) Upload the color version and move this inked version to my "Scraps" section (it won't clutter up the gallery but won't disappear forever either)

Sorry, no all of the above choice here XP

What do you think?

PS. Aika is a few inches shorter than Rai, so as you might notice she has to tiptoe a bit to put her arm around him XP

Looks like she's reaching behind her back for a knife or something! :stab:

I think your anatomy is a bit better here. Her waistline is much closer to what it should be. Here's a thought: maybe you should draw girls together with guys more often. That way you can clearly see the differences between them, eg. if her arms are as thick as his then they're probably too thick, etc.

One note on the colouring. I think you got the skin tones mixed up. Redheads usually have very fair skin (I know from experience) whilst blondes tend to tan quite well. You may want to consider reversing the tones. Also, have you considered giving her freckles?
