[ART] A kiss for Manda, a successful hunt, and tumblrdump.

And with this I have reached a milestone on my quest toward being able to confidently produce fanart; posting it on dreamwidth. Make no mistake; I feel terrible about my art. I figure a lot of it is due to my depressive period and lack of practice though, so I'm gonna work long and hard at overcoming it, because -gasp- I'm rediscovering that drawing can be pretty fun! So here it is; the first time I've taken drawing seriously since 2009.

Spoilers: None.
Warnings: A naked dude of which you can see no unmentionables and all of one man-nipple (Does half an ass even count?), also blood and a dead bunny.
Notes: All images link to full-size versions, so click away.

A while ago I wondered what to draw, and since Manda had offered to write me porn (the most valuable of currencies, I think you'll agree) I let her prompt me. She wanted a KuroFai kiss on the forehead with Kurogane getting all embarrassed and blushy-faced. What resulted was the first piece I've actually finished from sketch through lineart to colouring in several years. (I don't feel very good about the result, but when do I ever? If nothing else I can at least feel good about the fact that I finally did it.)
My first adventures in PaintTool SAI. I've no idea how tan people blush, but I assume they're at least not as luminous as pale people. I am also never going to shade anything as dark as Kurogane's jacket ever again I swear, I couldn't see jack of what I was doing.
Thanks for the opportunity Manda, hope you enjoy~

What I am actually most pleased with in this dump! Have raptor!Fai.
I sort of wanted to make him a lot more birdlike but this piece had started as a sort of anatomy-practice and I also wanted to keep the bits of the human body that I liked... so it became a crossbreed thing. I may have to draw more bird!Fais with stuff I left out from this one, like tailfeathers and birdfeet...
And the bunny is not in human form because I was too lazy and was not about to figure out another person in there, also "How do I human gore?!"
Just pretend Fai is a bird or the bunny is a person and the amount of blood should be more proportionately accurate to the carnage.

And then we have some old sketches and such, most of which has already been posted on tumblr, but I figure there's no harm in cramming them in here as well while I'm at it.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU!!!!

AND THANK YOU!

AND YOU ARE AMAZING!

AND ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS!

AND I SHOULD TOTALLY GO FINISH THAT PORN RIGHT NOW SOMEONE REMIND ME HOW DICKS WORK O_________________O

GRÖKAJNRZVSDKJLRANEI

I-I-I-I AM NOT BUT T-TH-THANK YOU!!??!?

And I found the best porn advice ever on tumblr here you go: How To Write Porn

Ahaha, that porn advice is amazing. I will treasure it in my heart.

"and sometimes the naughties are tentacles
which is hot
the end"

*flails like an idiot*

Tentacle porn is the crackiest porn ever! All the tentacle porn at the kinkmeme, OMG, which reminds me of this:

http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=kurogane+fai+paul#/d2u2tpm
(R.I.P. Paul)

Vamp!Fai is gorgeous and hot. I like how the shades of his eyes and his hair match and that awesome collar, not to mention the collarbone!

I generally like how you draw Fai with his hair down.
And Kurogane's epic face in the kissing picture. He's so 'OMFG, what is happening'? 8D
And the kiddies are just cuuuute. :3

(Only predator!Fai's hair looks a bit to, erm, "full", it's usually less voluminous but who cares anyway, because the important parts - i.e. the ass and the nipple - are A+)

About the crossdressing: really, I don't get people. I bet they are hating crossdressing for the same reasons why some so called Tsubasa-fans hate the idea of Fai and Kurogane being gay; because they think that makes them less "manly". O_o
(Fuck society's general idea of manliness, really.)

Totally agree that porn is the most valuable currency, because writing it requires a certain skill and knowledge (and Uakari is so ridiculously good at it, how does she doe that, HOW?).

Please keep up sharing your art love. <3

Oh my goodness thank you for such a lovely comment!

And yes I try to draw Fai's hair down as much as possible, because it is gorgeous and it never happened in canon and that is a crime! Then again I pretty much always like to mess with characters' hairstyles if possible, aha~

Which is partially why Faibirdie's hair turned out the way it did, I guess; I try to make the characters' hairstyle recognizable but beyond that I just go with what I think looks good at the moment. |Da Thank you for ass 'n' nipple compliment! ...I am rather pleased with that nipple, not gonna lie.

Ahaha, the funny thing is there are KuroFai fans who're against Fai crossdressing, so it's not even a "gay" thing. It just confuses/amuses/infuriates the hell outta me, but eh, I figure the most effective counter is to flood the fandom with even more Fai in a dress. |D

AND YES MANDA'S PORN IS GOLD. It's fantastic. It's the best. I loooove it and I can't wait until she finishes what she's writing for me at the moment. *A* (Except I can because it's totally worth the wait.)

Thank you for your kind words fkashckajs<3

OMG I'M HAPPY YOU FINALLY FEEL BOLD ENOUGH TO SHARE. :DDDDDDDDDD

The forehead kiss is ridiculously adorable. Like amg, you can tell how stiffened Kurogane is because he totally didn't expect that and it's like he's not even used to such affection.

But as for people with tanner complexion, when we blush, it's a reddish hue. A flush is pinkish (and more common for people with paler complexion when they actually blush). I can't say I ever looked in the mirror when I was blushing, but people have told me 'wow! you're turning red!' and yeah... I don't even know if that's helpful. o/

And you know how I feel about the other art you have shared, ESPECIALLY THE KIDS ONE. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT ONE.

/showers with hearts and confetti

BOLD AS FUCK OKAY. IT WAS BETWEEN THIS AND WRESTLING A BEAR AND THIS ONLY BARELY WON OUT OVER THE BEAR.

You'll have to ask Manda about the backstory for that image, I just drew it. But yeah when interpreting her prompt I went for that kinda thing, if nothing else because the world needs more stunned Kurogane okay. //hinthintnudgenudge

And I am gonna keep that in mind! Shouldn't be too difficult "Kurogane = red", hehe~

AND YOU FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT ALL THE KIDS ART THO

STUNNED KUROGANE IS THE BEST.

Yeah but still yours is so adorable because they're lying in the grass and smiling and omg they're best friends and they totes going to fall in love with each other and SEE I'M STILL GUSHING OVER IT. JUST LET ME GUSH IT, KING!

HE IS.

And kjdfhwk how can you gush over that five-minute shitty thing are you mad AM I GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A PROPER ONE JUST TO MAKE YOU STOP GUSHING oh my god no what did I just say stahp.

Five minutes? FIVE MINUTES? BBY WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? LIKE I CAN WHIP SOMETHING UP FAST IN FIVE MINUTES.

AND NO, YOU STAHP IF YOU DO SOMETHING PROPER THEN IT MEANS I WILL LOVE IT JUST AS MUCH.

Ahahahaa.... |Da

//slithers away filled with warm fuzzy feelings (-w-)

omggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

I LOVE IT
THEM
ALL OF THEM

I LOVE THINGS OKAY? Things like your art and you and your bravery in sharing and stuff. And most of all, out of anything, I LOVE the way you draw Fai's hair. It's perfect!

FAREEEEENN ;A;

I was feeling terrible just now and then your comment dropped in and I just TTATT

THANK YOU SO MUCH

And omg that you would like how I draw Fai's hair after HOW MUCH I FUCKING STRUGGLED TO GET A HANG OF IT. It means so much aaaahh. No seriously it was bad enough that I had to whine on tumblr
and coin the phrase Fai's Fucking Hair™ and then you just come along at 3am emotional wreck o'clock and say it's lovely.

Faren I love you thank you for being the person that you are. ;A;

I am fairly positive that Fai's Fucking Hair and Emotional Wreck O'Clock should be things, because even though it's bad that you were having a bit of a meltdown it's a great phrase. XD

That said.... ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I really hope you're feeling a little better now.

Also, I'm just being honest: it IS lovely, and these drawings are great. I'd love to see a million more from you, whenever you feel like drawing. :D

Oh they are things. Right and proper things, yup.

And I am feeling... a little bit better now? Ahaha~ My life goes up and down, but I'm determined to make the best of it, fuck yeah~

And yes yes yes I've been on a drawing binge lately. Suddenly I properly remembered how fun drawing can be and now I'm just wanting to draw ALL THE THINGS. Who needs a life, it's just a pesky thing that keeps you from doodling crap.

WAH

BLINDSIDED BY UNEXPECTED PRETTY *_______*

Also Kuro-blush is the best blush, just sayin'. ♥ Well done for sharing this with us- it's amazing and I'm so happy you did~

kjvdnaje YOU THINK IT'S PRETTY?? *_____*

And yes yes yes Kurogane needs to blush more. All the blushes! Embarassed blushing stunned blindsided by sudden display of affection Kurogane yes<3

akdhfsljf;dk Oh DUH, of course it's goddamn pretty! I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it, sweet~

Mind you, I have the artistic capability of a dead fish, so I'm no good for meaningful critique, but I know pretty and this, this is pretty! *____*

ALL OF THE KURO-BLUSH. Go Fai- do your thing! We have faith in your abilities to reduce the grumpy ninja you love to a spluttering, luminescent mess!

Oh you~

I~

-//w//-

♥

OMG arts! Holy hell you draw Kuro-tan's hair perfectly. *jaw drops* And his FACE in that first picture! His wide eyes and overall stiff and stunned posture is wonderfully depicted.

*eee* So many different feelings! The mood in the eyepatch picture is so yummy, and the kiddles are so adorably happy! I love Fai's "pshh" sort of face/pose in the cross-dressing pic and HNNNNNNNGH DAT VAMPIRE.

You make me want to draw. I should hire you as my new muse. My current one is too prone to napping when I have time to draw and inspiring me when I'm busy. XD

Ohmygoodnessohmygoodnessohmygoodness!

KITTEN STAHP. I CAN'T HANDLE FANART PRAISE FROM A FANARTIST I LOOK UP TO THIS MUCH SSHHH. >///A///<

Aaaahh I am just in a melty gooey puddle of feelings thanks to your comment... I can't... I can not with anything...

And what the heck is this, I mean you're the one who inspire me to draw though?? So we are like... mutual muses or something... I still can't handle that you say I have that effect on you though feksjnkwv

//hides from the feelings

Yes, mutual muses~ XD Zelinxia and I do that for each other with writing; many times something she writes will inspire me to write something too, and vice versa. You and I shall be mutual art-muses!

O-Okay, let's be that thing then... yosh... <//A//<

FYI you are totally working overtime already as my art muse. I had originally planned to dig deep, work really hard, and hopefully get one picture drawn for either Christmas or - if I wasn't able to get started in time - New Year's. Xia will back me up on this; I whined to her about my art block right before Thanksgiving.

I currently have seven pictures inked and am working on another one, and hope to have them all colored and scanned for Christmas. Four of them are fic-fanarts. You are inspiration personified.

HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LOT. And here I was having some sliver of hope that I'd be able to keep up with you. xD I know it's not a "competition", I mean I'm all fired up to draw thanks to you too, and I want to draw ALL THE THINGS and have as fun as you do. ówò

You flatter me Kitteeeeenn~! No but really, knowing I inspired you means so much to me. Cause like, I am so fascinated by the fact that all people affect each other all the time, wether directly or indirectly, and the fact that I not only made a person on the other side of the globe smile but also got them to do a bunch of things makes me all warm and fuzzy and fluttery inside~
//okay let's try and stop being a weirdo now

I think it's more than I've ever drawn in one streak. Ever. I'm completely taken aback, myself. You're magical. LOL

Modern days are wonderful indeed, with telephones and video conference and the internet making distances much less of an obstacle to interaction. ^^ And gathering sites like Dreamwidth and the KuroFai and CLAMPkink communities are so much fun too, where we can all trade ideas and thoughts and crack. XD

I love your long-haired Fais -- ALL OF THEM -- but I honestly have to say that my favorite of this collection is the crossdressing Fai. He's so SASSY.

SASSY. YES. XD Now that picture is overlaid in my mind with the phrase, "BITCH PLEASE, I'M FABULOUS."

FABULOUS FAI WILL WEAR ALL THE SKIRTS

I'm glad you like them yaay~ Apparently I have taken it upon myself to right the wrong that is far too little appreciation of Fai's long hair in this world. I will make up any excuse I need to get rid of his hairtie. No regrets. (◡‿◡✿)

And sassy Fai needs to start being my default response to people being vocal about their opinionated butts hurting.
