Description oh god, my ability to write comments has completely died o___o

Doumeki+Watanuki~ I drew this immediately after reading flakedice's fanfic "From Afar". Its soooooo sad and everyone should read it!! ;_; I'm so glad the other part was posted first and I read that beforehand otherwise I would have totally cried T_T

read it here: [link]

I had wanted to post it right after finishing it but that was a month ago and.... yeah... ;;;

Before I go to the link, I just wanted to say that I really like this sketch. I don't know what it is about this style, it just catches my eye as something I respect and would enjoy as the art for an actual manga. Good job. I particularally like the Watanuki.

wow this is so wow!!!!
Bwahaha instead of wanting to cry at the first part of the story I wanted to cry at the end. It was so beautiful! and your drawing has so much emotion. Doumeki's face, you can see the frustration because of Watanuki not recognizing him. I just love this.

K1M333 [2009-09-25 15:51:09 +0000 UTC]

Wow! That's simply gorgeous! The composition is great: on one side there's Domeki, his expression conveying so much hurt that it's heartbreaking; on the other side there's Watanuki, completely unfazed by their encounter; all around are hundreds of faceless, meaningless people; and between the two men, the red ribbon of hitsuzen is stretching, stretching, trying almost desperately to hold them together... The fic is awesome, and your drawing is awesome as well. I love the artful use of colors for the characters' eyes and the ribbon. Moreover, Watanuki and Doumeki are so well drawn! The former looks especially handsome in his business suit...
Amazing job, I fell in love instantly! Thank you for this beautiful piece.

Ohh you're so nice for leaving so many lovely comments!! >w<
I'm glad that you like it and that you could tell that it was a red hitsuzen ribbon, I wasn't sure how well I'd succeeded at making it look like string I really wanted to keep the colouring minimal too to keep the emphasis on the characters, as well as alluding to the bond between their eyes. <3

This is gorgeous. I love the sheer amount of pain that Doumeki's expression conveys, and the contrast with Watanuki's own indifference to their meeting.

...It also helps that they're both really really pretty >_< Thank you! *favorites*

wishinglolita [2008-10-20 13:29:12 +0000 UTC]

oh! That story actually made me cry, I loved it the picture is VERY beautiful, and Doumeki's expression makes me even sadder, but Im glad I read the last one first. So after I read the 2nd one it made me feel better. I love Doumeki's eyes the most, so pretty. I faved it, its awesome

Rokuri In reply to wishinglolita [2008-10-21 02:48:42 +0000 UTC]

aww thank you so much!! X3 I love Doumeki~ Since he doesn't show a lot of expression most times, you always know that he feels strongly when you can see it on his face~ <3

flacedice is one of my favourite writers so I'm really happy if my pic can enhance the feeling of the fic even a little bit X3

wishinglolita In reply to Rokuri [2008-10-23 11:28:42 +0000 UTC]

It's awesome, Doumeki is just awesome his eyes are the best their so pretty!~♥ I love it when he actually shows some form of emotion at all, but I also like it when he shows none. Watanuki always gets so mad at him

she write really good, I cried so hard it was so sad but it ended nicly! ♥ You picture captures the sadness I felt when I read it, so you did a wonderful job on it! ♥

After reading that fic I died, slowly, sweetly and in all the best of ways. 8D
If I wasn't so lame I would totally comment after reading flakedice's fanfics, so in a sense I feel like this is totally somewhatly making up for my lameness. She is so the shit!
(Excuse me ranting, three hours of sleep last night and a very full day jam-packed with four core-subjects. My brain is dead.) xD

flacedice [2008-09-25 13:26:39 +0000 UTC]

Ooooh! I just love it! It's wonderful how you've divided the image into the two perspectives! I just love that upset expression Doumeki's wearing and the look of unconcern that Watanuki has. You've just encapsulated the entire concept of the fic I just love how Watanuki is so neatly dressed in a business suit and Doumeki's in a casual shirt - that says so much about their personalities as well

I really like the way you've drawn the crowd as well: each of the figures is almost inconsequential, whited out, but their outlines show that they're individuals as well. A lovely expression of individuality and uniformity as well.

And the use of colour for Doumeki and Watanuki's eyes and the red thread - it's really effective! More so than it would have been if it was entirely coloured.

Thank you so much this image! It fits perfectly!

Rokuri In reply to flacedice [2008-10-02 20:25:51 +0000 UTC]

Yay! I'm so glad you like it! X3 I'm glad you could tell its was a red thread in the middle there, I wanted to show sort of the red thread of fade coming undone but then I realised that I didn't know how to draw a bow coming undone after all >>;;
Its not often that I feel so compelled to draw a picture right after reading something but I just had to once I read your story. I love them so much~~ T_T *babbling*
