Description I drew this on a HUGE 18x24 drawing pad. Then I colored it with colored pencil. (Some Crayola ones since I can't find my others... )

Anywho, Robin is Prince Siegfried and Raven is Princess Odette. (If you couldn't tell. Lol.)
I incorporated the eyes from the manga The Wallflower. (Check it out. Great series.)

Edit: I just noticed that Robins arms are too thin and his hands too small.... I've been knowing that Raven's hand in top left corner is messed up... and I just called attention to it. Lol. As always, I'm merely trying to get better. Practice!

Hands are difficult, so no biggy. I have trouble with hands and I have been drawing for 6 or 7 years now...
Anyway, it's ok that it is a little yellow. The sepia-like setting gives it a very nice touch with the suttle color undertones... That's difficult to create on photoshop and I have been trying to do it for years now.
Anyway, it's beautiful. I love it!!!

Thank you! ^_^
I can draw hands... when they're not attached to a body.
Lol.
Anywho, the yellow sepia toned quality was a complete accident.
A happy accident I guess. (I don't have a monster sized scanned so I took a pic on my digital camera, but the lighting sucked.

It's pretty... love her eyes. And her hair, and general upper body... =3

You know your anatomy - where the bones and muscles and joints are... excellent. Hands... are impossible. Seriously. So don't worry about it. Hopefully it'll come with time... or at least that's what I keep telling myself.

So, nice job, keep up the good work!

Lol. I keep telling myself the same.



Thank you for all your wonderful comments, I've just recently taken up art again... Damn pre-requisites.... Grrr... (I still haven't gotten my maths and science out of the way cause they scare me. Lol.)

Again, thank you! I'm always a fan of your work so this means a great deal!

Yep, c'est moi encore (pardon my french. '^.^).
Just curious: How many times did you have to re-sharpen your colour pencils? (Ok, please don't hit me...)

And you fast in Ramadhan? Assalam, ukhti! Happy Idul Fitri, and please forgive me for any wrongs whatsoever I've ever done to you.

MrsSakuraPotter In reply to athena12 [2006-10-25 14:20:21 +0000 UTC]

Oui! Tu c'est encore! Tu est très gentille! (J'étudie le français dans l'université.)

Lol. Well curiousity is all well and good so I don't see why you are worried about me hitting you. Lol.
I honestly lost count... I sharpened my pencils so much a have a layer of shavings in my room's trash can. Lol. I also had to empty my battery powered eraser a great deal...

And yes I do fast! Wa allaykum al-salam ya ukhti al-lathitha! Happy Eid Al-Fitir to you as well! You have done me no wrongs so there is no need for forgiveness on my part, but I grant it anyway.
Also, forgive any wrongs I may have commited against you, for they were surely unintentional.
YAY! I found another muslim on here!

Ah, non, j'essaie d'etre modeste... 'Tis the truth, so please don't laugh...

^^ Another muslim! Truthfully, it's difficult for me to find other muslims online... So I'm glad I found one on DA!
Do you read the Qur'an? What surah are you currently on now?

Oh, and something before I forget:
J'adore la votre art...

Vraiment? La modestie est bonne ! Et dans notre religion !
I'm not laughing because it is very good to be modest. Just don't be so humble that you sell yourself short.

I find muslims in muslim chatrooms, and I even found a few on a Fruits Basket thing that I'm a part of. But I never talk to them because we don't seem to connect.

I do read the Qur'an--but sadly, not as much as I should. I've memorized many surahs, and I ADORE Ayat Al-Qursi. My friends, from my old school in Palestine, and I made ourselves memorize it when we were scaring each other with Jin stories in 5th grade. I mean, I love the entire Qur'an of course, nothing to me is more beautiful, but that aya has many memories.

Merci medemoiselle. Et j'adore la votre d'art aussi! C'est tres bien! J'ai votΓ© pour votre image. ^_^

Merci, merci beaucoup... I have been called pushover once or twice, but I'd never, er, 'sell myself short', as you put it. My dignity won't allow it. ^^ lol

I know... The Ayat Al-Qursi has very deep meaning behind it...

You were scaring each other with Jin stories in 5th grade? There's this one thing that happened in my life which now makes myself recite it every single time before I go to sleep.

Merci beaucoup pour la votre vote... Et merci pour la votre compliment!

P.S.: Eh... Thought you might like to know; in your sig, it's spelled 'merely', not 'mearly', I think...

Oh it was! Especially the ruffles of the skirt. If I can manage to get a clearer picture, then hopefully the effort I took will show more.
Thankies!

WooHoo!! Ballet dancing!! I loved the song Swan Lake on my giant piano- keyboard thing and fell in love with it. And then the animated movie was good and I haven't seen it in forever. Then my friend recently introduced me to Princess Tutu, which is awesome!! Even though I haven't seen a single episode. I do want to see it that is why my Christmas list is so important!! ^^ Now add the fact that Raven and Robin are soooo awesome together and I'm rediscovering my love of ballet and there you go. Complete AWESOMENESS in a pic!! ^^ You rock!

Ballet is amazing! I love it! I can't dance, but watching is always great!
^_^
Princess Tutu is amazing. (Until the end... I didn't like the end, but I won't spoil it.) The anime has classical music throughout, and each episode is named after a ballet! Although... I liked the ending of the manga better than the anime, but I liked elements in the anime better than the manga. Lol. Therefore, I've decided to write a fanfiction when I get the time. (But I'd have to finish my Sailor Moon and Harry Potter fics first. Lol.)

And no... YOU ROCK!

My friend said that the white haired boy hooks up with the Raven/Crow? girl and the Duck girl stays a duck forever. I can't remember what she said about the black haired guy.

We both ROCK!!!!

Yea... That's Why I like the manga better! Ahiru (Duck) stays a girl, and her and Myoto defiantely have a romance going on! In one part of the book Fakir says to Ruu, "You see now? Nothing can get between those two." Or something of that nature when Myoto and Princess Tutu were dancing.
*squeels*
AND YES WE BOTH DO ROCK! *gigglesnort*

The manga is only two books so you should check that out as well!

o.o -blinkblink- Holy crap. This is amazing.

You did the perspective perfectly- not a hair looks out of place. All those ruffles....I can't believe you have the patience and skill to do all those details. So beautiul. I LOVE Raven's costume, hair, pose....just everything. She looks so balanced and graceful. Even the anatomy is nigh flawless. Wonderful shading. Robin looks just as good in his spiffy uniform; his hair looks really soft. ^^

Gosh...I just love everything about this. So much detail....brilliant job, keep up this great work.
