This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

WOW.
I am both in awe of, and extremely jealous of, your mad artistic skills.

SOME KICKASS UTENA FANART
Artists tend to be their own worse critics, I bet the main thing you don't like about it is the fact it isn't the polished works that you see from the master artist cos it would be the aspect of the artwork I'll be complaining about if that work was mine.
What you do have that many other fan artist don't seem able to do as well is the unusual but cool looking poses and the excellent facial expressions you have managed to pull off.

O.O Wow, thanks! I'll have to post the Utena Juri pic when I finish!
Offline
Yes. You will post the UtenaJuri pic when you are done with it.
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Uh, I mean...
Yes, please post the pic when you're done.

Welp, here's the finished Utena vs Juri pic. Hope you like it!

I'll post some of the sketches I've done later.

Oh my...

Whee, I love your work! Can't wait to see more.
Also, I've finally finished my Anthy/Akio pic! Next time I'll draw something on canvas. But then I can't show you people 'cause I don't have a camera yet and my scanner dislikes scanning anything that isn't paper.
And my evil scanner made some parts blurry.

Maarika I love Anthy! I love Akio's star hand! I love that pose!
More please! We Support the Utena Arts!
Offline
Thank you! I actually dislike Akio's hand. I messed it up...
And there'll be more as soon as I find time. But first I want to finish the X-mas themed stuff.

GOD DAMN AKIO STAR SILHOUETTE
Wow just stampede all over my psychological g-spot why don't you.
Seriously that was one of my favorite shots in the series for weird, vaguely romantic* reasons. Is gorgeous Maarika.
*Associated with the stars, not Akio. Do I look that stupid?
Edit: Srsly, I get a little choked sometimes looking at your avatar.
Offline
Thank you very much! It's one of my favorite scenes too, that's why I wanted to draw it. If I had any ideas, I'd make other versions with that setting but I can't think of anything right now and they wouldn't be very original anyway. :/
And I love my current avatar! Akio + Anthy + Stars, what more could you want!

Maarika, can I just say her hair is gorgeous? Very nice job!

A few portraits of my own perspective of the characters. I'm sorry if they all look alike. 0 It's quite difficult to give anime characters their own human faces while they all are technically the same templates with different hairstyles and hair colors, etc.
Simply click on the images for a full view.
I have a handful more in my DeviantArt account... though I daresay they aren't very nice. 0 That's not counting four more pieces that I have unfinished, so I'm reserving a lot more for the insults. *grins*

Those are so pretty! Coloured pencils is such a hard media for me that I've completely given up on them. Also, though they look much more realistic, they still have the characteristics of each person. Saionji is my favourite from those 4 ^^

My boss's daughter isn't convinced that I would make little squealy mushy noises at an invoice. Thanks a lot.
Also....you have a naughty picture of Touga there and didn't post it?! (Gorgeous art, by the way.)

Wowwwww the coloring is so good! I especially like Juri's hair!

These are beautiful. I think you've done a fine job of capturing their individual looks. And I always drool over fine colored pencil work.

Here are some preview/sketches I've done recently.

Lol this one's kind of an inside joke. My friends and I were playing Shadow of the Colossus and we were like "what if he had the Akio car?" Then things turned from bad to worse and this was drawn.

^_^ I’m really glad you liked the green-haired monster, Modliness. And about Touga… ^^0 You mean this one?
Is it that naughty? ^^ *looks at the illustration* They’re just lying around, really… does it look bad? ^^0

All of your art is great. I especially love the Utena and Anthy one. The expressions, the pose... egad, color it!
Offline
Emiemipoemi, you're going to have to do a lot of colouring 'cause they all look very promising.
I think I like Anthy the most out of these previews.
