Fanart (Airbrushed) - Healing Touch

[serika-san.livejournal.com]

I had the inspiration to do a fanart recently, so I went ahead and used said inspiration before it disappeared.

It is kind of shippy for the Fakir/Ahiru pairing, but I really focused on emotions more than anything, so I really hope that came out.

No warnings. It is implied that they're not really wearing clothing, but nothing is showing (it's more of a head-shot for both) and it's not meant to be taken that way. I just think the lack of clothing really helped bring across the feelings of the piece and I wanted Fakir's scar to be showing.

And here it is:



Well, since a few people gave me some much needed suggestions, I changed a few things around with this picture, so I think it looks a little better than the sketch I had before. I'm still not really happy with the hands or Fakir's body and the way he's focusing, but since the faces ares supposed to be the focus, hopefully that doesn't distract from it too much? Anyone who is good with anatomy can feel free to give pointers! I wore my paper out trying to fix things. >>;;;

I went with airbrushing for this and I lightened it up afterward, because I wanted to a get a soft feeling and really bring out the feelings and emotion more than anything else. I don't think solid coloring or cel-shading like I normally do would have that same effect, but that is just my opinion. That said, I realize there's some color bleeding and it's sketchy (I also thought penning it in would work against the softer and more subtle feeling). But I hope you can excuse that and enjoy it.

Thank you and any feedback would be most welcome and appreciated~!
