Description And how the muscle,
Bone,
And sinews tangled!
And how the skin was softly shed...!

And how it whispered:
“Oh, adhere to me;
For we are bound by symmetry!"

And whatever differences our lives have been
We,
Together,
Make a limb.

-'Red Right Ankle', the Decemberists

Dr. Kiriko and Yuri. ...Again.
JESUS CHRIST WHAT DID I DRAW.

Looking at this, you wouldn't think, "Hey! It's those guys from that manga by That Guy Who Made Astro Boy," would you? xD

I really love the brother/sister relationship these two have Abusive and cold, but somehow you get the sense that they were really close at one point in time before their lives were shot to hell by the war.

This is kind of a commentary on how much Kiriko's sickness impacted Yuri.

At first I thought I made big a mistake putting Yuri in the foreground and giving her the majority of the fused skin and hair, but now that I look at it.... Hm, not sure. Maybe it was a good thing, since this picture is more about Yuri than Kiriko.

It was meant to be a cover for Syndemic but maaaaybe someday I'll format it for Chapter 2. 99% Water, please stop being my muse for once and let me get back to my life. xD

You know those times when you plan to do something really epic, and it takes way too long so you decide to just release it? That happened to this

In total, I think I spent about... 18 hours on this? Yeah, ouch.

I tried to shade this, I really tried. Then the shading turned green and ugly even though it was the same colour as the bases...? I couldn't understand it More or less I just gave up after a bit and decided to release it. xD

Oh well, it looks okay. xD

Now that it's released, I'M FREE!

Absolutely gorgeous and amazing!

I love how both are drawn. You kept Kiriko's nose the right shape as well, which not all fanartists remember to do.

Lovely.

I do love Yuri's relationship with Kiriko, although the war changed things. She was crying out of joy that he could live and then shortly after they're bickering again. It's a very realistic sibling relationship, only their bickering is about whether or not he should continue to take the lives of others at their request, oh dear. ;

It's really lovely. <3
