FIaW: The Happy Couple

Description

I drew this in between colouring the One Question picture (which still has a lot of colouring left). I halfway wanted to see how I could draw in ink. There are a lot of errors that I can't fix and, well, will have to leave to do better next time. There are also invisible strings on the erhu...because I didn't want to figure out how I would put them in without messing everything up. I also need to figure out how to use negative space properly.

And I also did this because I wanted to blatantly copy the style (actually just the way he used the ink, I should hope my art looks like my art) of the person who illustrates 12 Kingdoms. See here for reference:

I think I should have just used the brush pen rather than all the pens, but who knows.

The characters are Naru and his wife, Ilesriel. I not-so-secretly think they're totally hawt together, pointlessly intricate background design or not. I just don't think they translated to paper so well. Those of you who read the script should recognise Naru as the bastard who picks on small children.

Download for full view of pointlessly intricate background.

I really like this piece, it's beautiful and it holds talent. The line work is sharp a and the characters look great. It looks like there are Celtic and Asian influences, nice work indeed.
