Description Before saying anything else, I feel it necessary to apologize for putting full blown fan art in my gallery (I'll probably move it to scraps later on principle) Normally, I would never do something like this, but somehow I've fallen so head over heels for the DomekixWatanuki relationship in xxxHolic, that I couldn't resist both drawing and digitally inking this. Thus, here we are. Despite usually hating all things CLAMP and having no interest in otherwise doing fanart, this pairing is so cute with so much chemistry that I couldn't help it

I think I have a new found respect for fanartists though. It is really frickin' hard to draw someone else's characters while trying to stay true enough to the original style so that they'll still be recognizable. Oh, and before anyone else has a chance to say it: the smoke (yep, that's what it's supposed to be)= pure fail. I was really at a loss as to how I wanted to do that part

The boring junk:
Photoshop CS2
Around 3 hours (stupid smoke <_< )
References: Any pictures I could find of Watanuki and Domeki
Doumeki and Watanuki are © CLAMP

well, I like (love) CLAMP stuff, so the fact that you don't is a little heartbreaking.
but...
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! dou/wata is the best pairing ever (except for kurogane/fai...)
pretend I didn't say that!

I know what you mean. The pairing is awsome, and fanarting is hard (I tried it once, it didn't turn out too well...)

*squeal*

Donuts are my favorite ;]

Really well done! I've only read a few things by Clamp, but this is by far my favorite of theirs.

*is waiting impatiently for chapter 163*

*spews iced tea all over screen*

You mean to tell me there's finally a series where the yaoi's canon?!

*starts flipping through online issues of xxxHolic*

As I just started reading the series, I'm only up to about book 2 or 3. Chapter 18-20ish, last I counted. But if this is where it ends up... *evil smile* I'm never going back to normalcy again.

Nova: I'm so proud of her! *tears of joy* T_T
Oni: I've never been so disgusted.
DB: Ink, where did you find that Yuuko outfit, and why am I chained up in this black schoolboy's uniform...? o_O; Oh no.
Ink: Nyuhuhu...oh yes.

*ignore the peanut gallery. They're here for comedic relief.*

Very cute fanart, for a very cute pairing! I really enjoy the way you did the lines for this picture, and all the time spent on the smoke really paid off, because it looks great!


... and now I have to ask: I have been in this fandom for years, and really into this pairing, but... WTF IS WITH "DONUTS"??? It keeps cropping up everywhere and apparently I am just missing something, because from what I can gather is is a nickname for the pairing, but for the life of me I cannot figure out WHY. XD

I know what you mean, the Doumeki/Watanuki pairing is just so great~!

I usually like any stories in CLAMP that don't drag, cuz some are just tooooo slooowww. I understand setting up characters and giving us insight but JEEZ.

Anyways, great picture! I personally think the smoke looks fine.

Wow! that is awesome art. I do love Clamp, but I also understand not everyone will love them. I'm just glad I found others into DomekixWatanuki!!

Yesh! Doumeki and Watanuki are way too adorable together to possibly resist And yet, rarely have I found other fans of the pairing (or even just the manga for that matter. It's not nearly as popular as I had originally thought it was), so it's always awesome to find other people who see their rediculous amount of chemistry :3

Thank you <3

I kinda dislike Clamp animes (dunno but my style was into Gantz and Elfen Lied) but Ouran and xxxHolic hooked me up this season thus made me a crazy yaoi fangirl xD Makes me happy to see Doumeki and Watanuki together in ur pic u've lightened up my day C=

Glad to be of service ^_^ We all cross over to the dark side sooner or later :3 99% of what I tend to enjoy is also stuff like Gantz or, say, Battle Royale or MPD Psycho or other fun or ultraviolent seinen/shounen stories, but I can't help loving yaoi too. Especially when two characters have as much chemistry and care as much about each other as Doumeki and Watanuki do <3

Thanks a lot

Most people do ^_^ With the exception of this and Legal Drug, I've just never been able to get into any of their works though, so I'm not particularly fond of them. Too much angst for my taste, or something like that I guess I can see why other people like them though...

Thanks muchly
