Description Even though he saw an entire field of gypsy roses, Chihaya never thought to pick one...Instead, he took me to see the place where they were blooming.

Yes that would be why it's quite a messy sketch.

You know what the title made me think of? "Gypsy Rover".

Which led to Scottish porn.

Oh, I love the gypsy roses scene! It kinda reminds me of that one scene in 'House of Flying Daggers' when Jin takes Mei to the flower field, minus the sappy melodramatics. Chihaya knows how to touch Saya's heart, even without realizing it.

Very pretty and I love the soft color treatment, which is perfect for a scene like this. And yea for contest! I'll try to join that.

I never saw the whole movie (and incidentally, I didn't see that scene), but I'm sure I know what you mean. Chihaya's got the tabula rasa factor; purity heightens meaning.

Thank you! :]

You're very welcome.

I like it when Saya's remembering this moment at the end. That was a big 'wibble' moment for me.

Thanks! I colored it in a hurry, and actually, the colors gave me a headache.
