i almost lost a lung and it was not because im sick but because i couldn’t stop laughing
Ahahjshsah damn it Heiji why would you dream kid so beautiful? Its hilarious
From the way the scenery changes, to the way Kid whispers “Heiji~” and hi little laugh at the end. Chef’s kiss ✨
Well i would asume that Kaito would be more traumatized than Hattori about the whole ordeal. After all it was him who jumped on Kid and almost kissed him.
Imagine if you had a neighbour who keeps performing songs from Phantom of the Opera in his apartment every night, by himself but accompanied by a parrot, which he has taught to sing Christine's part. Admittedly it's kind of obnoxious but you are far too baffled to even be properly annoyed. And also you don't want to confront someone with that kind of power and determination. So every once in a while you just hear this guy dramatically bellow
My entry for this year's KuroFai Olympics. The prompt was "The Hanged Man", twelfth Major Arcana of the Tarot Deck.
The abridged version is that "The Hanged Man" can mean sacrifice, passivity/withholding action, the inability to help oneself through independent action, acceptance... The Wikipedia also mentions that there's a relation to treason because traitors used to be hanged that way, upside down. All of this screamed "Fai" to me.
Fai is a deeply fascinating character because he's not a typical... anything. A hero, a villain, a victim, a badass mofo... he's all of that and none of it. So I wanted to reflect all of this in an ambiguous representation of the card. That means that the upright position of the card is actually the reverse one because you never know what's going on with Fai. So he could be hanging from the roots of the tree or hanging from the branches. The truth is that his vampire pose is a farce, it's just the strings of the pupeteer pulling him down towards the ground where Fei Wong Reed's hands are hidden. All of this while Ginryuu (symbolizing Kurogane), with the help of the cherry flowers (symbolizing Sakura) are holding to him for dear life and keeping him close to the branches of the tree, the safe part.
I wanted to also include Syaoran as a wolf hidden in the tree.
Here's the reversed version which is actually the regular upright one.
And, well, if only because it's taken me ages to do this and I still haven't been able to convey the shine of the metallic inks (that's tragic, but it's very hard to take good pics of that because the angle needs to be too steep for the image to still be in focus in its entirety and then one has to correct the perspective and it's hell).
Other technical difficulties include the size being too small not to blotch the details with the ink and pastels. I swear Fai's hair was fluffy and Ginryuu had a face in pencil, but even with my finest brush I couldn't keep that because metallic inks are thick.
I include a couple of close-ups just because I spent unnumbered hours with the stupid cherry tree and I want my efforts to be appreciated, dammit.
when there’s a sad, silly character with a cheerful persona who thinks they’re such a good actor and that no one will notice all the defenses they’ve put up and they stumble into another person who looks them directly in the eye and sees them and the sadness that lies behind their ever-present smile….that’s the stuff.
The evolution from “catch me if you can Mr Holmes” to “catch me if you can Sherlock” to “finally I’ve caught you now” is the gayest shit ever and I am here for it
