Description Yup, more MxM vector

Murrue Ramius and Mwu la Flaga, vectored from image from the second opening of SEED.

I wanted to do a more stylized vector, so instead of using normal colours, I decided to use monochromatic scheme(s). As for the colours themselves, I used colours to match their eyes. I know Mwu's signature colour is probably purple (from his pilots suits and such), but he looks better in blue (), and besides, complimentary colours look much nicer ^_~

I wanted to use the least number of colours as possible. There are three shades of orange for Murrue and four shades of blue for Mwu, plus white for both.

The background took me forever to decide... I tried using just black or white, but seemed to be missing something.. After a long time I came up with this. Then I added some textures because it looked kinda dull without it.

At first I wanted to add some text, but couldn't find a good font or placement, so scrapped that idea... and yes, crappy title, can't think of a better one ^_^;;

Original size of this is 1280 x 800, which is the resolution of my laptop

I'm dedicating this vector to , a fellow MxM fan(girl ) (go check out her gallery!!). She got the GS/D novels while in Japan, and has scanned the awesome illustrations by RGB ( [link] ), and it made me very very happy

MxM

[EDIT] Wallpaper version + many resolutions can be found at Captain and Commander

Yes I like the idea of them being in complimentary colours.

Thanks ^__^ And sure, you can use it on your desktop, that's why I created wallpaper resolutions ^^

nice

i like the colouring, it seems as if Murrue is warmer though, and Mwu (Mu?) is colder, maybe cause he "dies"?

or it could be just the colours and i'm totally off. too many art classes and learning to analyze pics. anyways, good job.

Yeah Murrue's personality is kinda warm (esp later in the series, and compared to Natarle), while Mwu, well, he's not exactly 'cold', but I sometimes see him as more emotionally distant...

thanks I'm glad you like it

Haha, I didn't realise their eyes are complimentary colours. Wonder if that was deliberate.

Awesome. That's one of my favourite official images of the pair.

MapleRose In reply to jdiam [2006-11-26 05:00:00 +0000 UTC]

hmm, I too wonder if it's delibrate.. I mean, their hair is also sort of complimentary (light for him and sort of dark for her)...

thank you

This was wonderful. I really liked it a lot when I saw you posted from minitokyo.net. This was a definate fav. Sorry there's not much words to say about it because I already said all of it when I commented that wallpaper last time.

At first glance, I thought it was a pictorial of Misa Hayase and a more refined version of Hikaru Ichijou of Superdimension Fortress Macross.

Wow, that is soo good! I love the colors.--Blue is such a good color for Mu too (And if you pick up the random things that I do , a lot of shots of him (usually with Rau) have some sort of blue background.

Man, seeing all these vectors makes me want my own program again soo much more!--Well, Christmas is getting quite close! Till then, my gallery's just filled with my colored doodles--which is why one shouldn't check out my gallery (It's really bad...)


Amazing Job!

I like your doodles, esp that comic

Thank you
