This was my entry for a Orihime/Ichigo Bleach fanart contest with "Winter" in its theme. Thinking everyone would go for Christmas trees, snowmen, and mistletoe, I decided none of those things were really culturally relevant to the two characters and went for something that was Japanese in its context. Prior to the New Year, the Japanese clean out their houses and put things in order. Many go to their shrines to pray and partake in various activities.
The other concept I had in mind was cute, but this one I felt was a little more adult and subtle. I guess I like that dynamic between these two. You have a loud, brash guy who always seems to tone it down around the girl. You have a question about what they're wishing for as they stand at the same spot.
This started off as a pencil sketch and I took it into Painter and painted it from there.

I like that you went with something these characters would actually do. It's very cute and happy with the bright colors, but to me their faces convey emotions that are more complex than two characters simply being cute together. It's really very lovely.
Yeah... While I like the sort of humor in the other picture, this was a more adult and more interesting picture to put together. I'm going to start going away from oneoint perspective I hope and playing around with new things.
