tutufans | Princess Tutu commission

Wow, long time no post in this community (let alone any LJ community).

So, why the update? Because two commissions that I recently paid to have done (for Princess Tutu) have been completed! :D

My Princess Tutu shrine is slowly growing. Last year I purchased the "This Pendent Heart" fanbook by Mangaka-chan and Lunasphere. This year, I've purchased the 6 individual DVD volumes released by ADV (I already owned the 1st complete collection, but I wanted the individual volumes for the artwork) and these two commissions. There's someone who has (had?) the gashapon I was going to buy from, but she's misplaced the box and can't find them. If she's able to find 'em, I'll purchase them from her, but otherwise it's currently up in the air. And at some point this year I plan on purchasing this artbox from Paul Champagne to hold the individual PT volumes I purchased. I'm not quite certain what else I can buy to add to my shrine (that one Princess Tutu figure looks really gorgeous, but I'm probably going to have to hold off for a long while considering the amount of money it is). If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate them.

So, these commissions were done by Shiroiyuki (who I know from the Anime Nation forums). Here deviantart page is here.

I ended up doing her half-price commission-to-print offer, which she's doing because she'll be at an upcoming convention in the Artist's Alley (her first time). So while I get the originals, prints of these artwork will be available for purchase.

These commissions were done on Strathmore 500 series (8x10) using watercolors. Her normal commissions are normally 9x12.

Anyways, without further ado.

Rue & Mytho

Ahiru & Fakir

Of course, the colors don't show up as vibrantly in the scans. I just recently received the Mytho/Rue one in the mail, and she just finished up the Fakir/Ahiru one tonight, so I'm expecting it by Friday or next Monday.

For both of these images, I provided her poses I wanted the characters in, the theme and moods behind the images, clothing suggestions, and certain details I wanted included (i.e. the castle in the Mytho/Rue picture, and the little ducks and building with the clock face in the background in the Fakir/Ahiru picture), but otherwise I let her creativity go with the designing.

I am very pleased with the turnout for both images. I can't wait to frame them! :D

Thanks for looking!
