Okay, I think this is acceptable as a final version. I have learned so much while working on this, I think now I have to go on and apply my newfound knowledge to other images.
Thank you very much everyone for your suggestions and hints -- through your help this has become a much better piece than I could have ever managed alone.
While I can still see room for improvement, I have decided to draw the line here, otherwise I'll never start another picture again. I might still tweak it a little if I decide I forgot something important, but so far this is it. Thanks again!
I will also do a desktop wallpaper version soon since a few people mentioned they'd like to have one.
About the picture: I wanted to do a married Sesshou/Kagome in a more courtly setting. This might be set in the far future where they have a large court and a lot of social and political responsibilities. This is them either unwinding from or getting ready for a day full of intrigue and veiled power play -- I wanted to capture an intimate moment on the edge between powerful miko/youkai ruler and their more private persona where they're simply a couple who are comfortable with each other.
OMG your at just keeps on improving. we can see here what potential this has of being yet another ground breaking piece of art. And I love the pairing-much more dramatic than with inuyasha! LOVE sesshys' eyes and very nice mouth

good scott. just as a work in progress this is verry good. I love the lips of the white haired dude. so pretty and soft looking.
erm critque. hm. nothing i can think of really. its all very well done. the eyebrow [on the guy] kind of annoys me but thats probably because it isnt finished yet. or i have a thing about hating all eyebrows.

If you want I would say have his hand on her chin like he is lifting it to kiss her. Thats what I am getting from the pciture because it does look like he is about to reach for her face to get a kiss.
Now it's time for August 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover!
Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it! Fave Fave Fave! My main purpose in doing a monthly feature about (to my point of view) 'the best visual art' is to put in the same level as well wellknown artists and popular creations as unknown artists and under-exposed creations. Artists need to be supported. So don't be shy!
Here's the Menu per Category :
Digital Paintings & Drawings | Mixed Media | PhotoManipulations | 3-Dimensional | Vector & Vexels | Photography | Traditional Paintings & Drawings | Artisan Crafts
With a gallery that takes you on a journey into another world, `spyroteknik has firmly secured a place as one of the top artists within our community. Always willing to participate in events as well as providing critique and guidance to members in such a humble yet inspiring manner is a quality which deserves recognition. So it's with great pleasure that we award this month's Deviousness to Martin Bland. Read More
