Description
Mup! Needed to edit this, since I deleted the original. (I posted this pencil once, got mad at it and tore into it again, then had both versions up for a little bit so's anyone that was terribly and awfully curious could see that changes I'd made.)If it interests you to know, the full title - Softest bullet ever shot - is burgled from a Flaming Lips song. If you're familiar with the song; you might think it an odd choice, it's not a love song per se, but that's how it strikes me when I read into a little. By the same token, Balthier and Fran aren't obviously anything.. but on closer inspection, I'm struck by how much they really are. It's fascinating, and delicious to draw. Lovely combo!

Why, thank you very and mucho! I worked HARD on Fran's eyes - they took forever to get right! I have already coloured it, actually - [link] - although if you'd like to re-imagine the colouring, feel free. I'd be interested to see what your vision of it would be.

When Overlay Layers Attack! Haha! Man, I'm mean to me.. I worked hard on this, getting the light just So! Thank you very, very much! And hey - I owe you friending-back! - I will go do that right now, before I forget. (YAY, FRIENDS!)
(Sorry, had to be at work at 6.30am to-day, and I've not taken a nap since getting home, and as such I'm a bit of a fruit right now. )

XD Ah yaay for friends!
Ah no problem, so glad i'm too young/lazy to have a job XD (well, I can get a part-time one if I want, and a full time one in a few months, but eh I don't have the energy XD)
Oh, and I forgot to add this to the original comment: I really love the composition of this picture, and the crosshatching on Balthier's hair is amazing!

I am a VERY BAD GIRL, is what I am, HAHAHAHA--
Okay, that's enough. Let us not try to frighten people anymore than is strictly necessary.
Otherwise, thank you very much! It's immensely satisfying to be able to get a drawing looking even remotely like what I see in my head, woohoo!

Thank you, and oh *man* me toooooo.... I finish one drawing of them, I get inspired to do another.. in this case, I have two more in mind. This is slowly but surely trying to turn into... *gasp!*... a series.
I really can't help myself.. :aww Hopefully noone minds just too terribly badly!
*ponders* Fully clothed and huggling in the first one; nearly naked and neck-biting in the second. At *that* rate, the third one would be.. well. *coughs*

Hmmm...the only thing that I noticed was that the lines are a little more defined and less like a sketch.

Eeeeeeeeeeenteresting!
This probably says more about my mental state than yours; to my eyes the differences are glaring, but I'm also notoriously picky. Fran's face was reshaped, ditto for her hair; she just looked *odd* to me! I poured a lot of detail into Balthier's hair, it's such an essential part of his visual character in my eyes.
But, eh, anyway... I am bad about overanalysing.

Heh...sorry.I'm not that good at noticing things unless I'm informed of them. Then I go, "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH...I see it now."
But then again, only the artist truly knows of the distinctions.

I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of talking to a site with so many nice people; most assuredly not so many nice smilies. A Sushi smiley? Awesome!
In other news, no worries! I hope I wasn't making you like it was a test or something similarly daft, that wasn't my intent at all.. I really DO think it's interesting that stuff I thought was crazy obvious actually wasn't at all. If anything, it's ME that feels like I've been handed a lesson... Thou Shalt Not Spend All Day on One Sketch; Honestly, How Dost Thou Expect to Get Anything Done?
