Well, it hasn't made it through the submission process on deviantart yet (I made my account today...lol) but here is my entry to the July contest @ Club-Tutu!

DA Club-Tutu contest submission

I see some of the entries for this months contest have also been posted here so I thought I'd share mine too. ^^

The Fall Collection by ~Mangaka-chan on deviantART

(copy-pasta from my DA description)

I drew the sketches of Fakir and Mytho almost immediately after the prompt was revealed but forgot about them until there was less than a week left in the contest. ^^;

I like the black-and-white fashion spreads you find in magazines and so tried to recreate that effect here with Mytho and Fakir as my models. (Though I admit, the first idea that popped into my head was to draw Fakir in a Giorgio Armani-style spread with an unbuttoned shirt... suffice to say I stifled that idea pretty quickly. >///<) I also used the name of my doujin community, clover_cubed as the "brand".

I'm not a fashion savvy person but I tried to give Mytho a classy metrosexual look. For Fakir, I wanted to give him a rebellious poet-type look with the vintage prints on his shirt and the leather jacket. I don't know if that really comes across well since I used screen tones and this is in b&w, but I think they look good. XD;;
