Description Well, I must say that I wanted to send the story behind this but I didn't have the time to finish it. So I send only the pic.

It took 3 years before Kymeya accepts to be with her best friend Topaz. I must say he's a patient guy!

I look VERY 'cliché' without the story T_T A lot of things that I love/hate into that artwork.

-Topaz's neck/face is totally UGLY. But I drew Kym and I didn't want to erase most of the sketch soo...
- Did I mention Topaz's lips???
-Shading of Kym's face... to dark for her skin... It's night.
- The fact that the leaves are supose to be darker...

But in genral, I'm glad when I'm able to draw night scene with markers, so I think it's isn't bad in general. I like Kym's expression. Not happy, to angry, a little bit scare to make that move :3 She doesn't want to lost her friend if the close relation isn't working!

too much details... Just enjoy the pic okay?

Topaz and Kym are both copyrights to Manuella Côté

EDIT: Wow I'm sush a stupid girl I forgot to add the blue part of Kym's hair -_- Shame on me

(Yeah, I wondered about the lack of Kymeya's blue hair portion But hey, don't feel bad, I sometimes forget those little details on my characters too XD In one recent picture, I forgot to add a beard/stubble to a character, so I had to add it, scan the picture and fix it in Photostudio ALL OVER again I was not impressed!)

It's a shame you didn't send the story with this... because I've always wanted to read some stuff by you! I know you think your english isn't the best, but you still get the point pretty much across, and your characters are such interesting individuals! Reading stuff on them would be awesome... but anyway I do like the details you've written in the description, since I only knew a little few things about these two and their relationship. For one, props to Topaz for waiting 3 years for Kymeya! Just shows how much he loves her, that he was willing to wait ^^ And poor Kymeya.. it's understandable that she was afraid to change things, since in that situation, it's a rough outcome if things don't work out D: You can really see the hesitation in her face and the trembling of her fingers... she's really struggling with both her fear and her feelings. But yeah... as someone who fell in love with a close friend, I can personally say that if things do work out, it really does make a relationship all the more special And it's good to know that Kymeya finally does take that step with Topaz... and that they have a great life and family together As for the image itself, you really did do a decent job in showing the night shadow/lighting effects with just markers! Really love the whole beach/tropical outfits that the couple have on too! I totally wanna steal Topaz's pants, they look so cool His flower shirt makes me giggle, and Kymeya's top looks really nice on her (I like ones that strap up behind the neck like that. Just looks pretty for some reason ). And of course... the close proximity of the bodies and the body language really speak for themselves.

I have to admit, I did not like your art when I first saw it. (not saying I thought it was bad, I just didnt like the style.) I added you to watch because of one picture. But after actually going through more of your work, I have to say I love it all. The style has definitely grown on me, and you have wonderful themes for them all as well.

This one is no exception. I Love the theme and the drawing! You have wonderful stuff!
