Fanart.

... of Gilbert Cocteau, from Kaze to Ki no Uta. Now, I need you to follow the path of thought I did when sketching this out: "Right! I adore KtKnU, and I most specially adore Gilbert, that crazy fucker! Okay, sketchy-sketchy ... mm ...... oh. Right. I'm not sure I can get away with drawing a nude pre-teen boy virtually straddling a bed-post ... *erase* ... yes. Let's make him a little older and pretend he never died. Hey, at least he still has the same gay hair-cut."

I bloody hate his hair-cut ... apologies to Keiko Takemiya. I also have started to dislike the way I draw hair, anyway ... need to start doing it a different way. I'm sick of these fluffy, layered, mid-90's piles of lame I've been doing.

I think the original idea was almost beyond even *me.* And I really don't want the Daily Mail staking out my house, lols.

This is part of my New Year's Resolution I just made up to Draw More Backgrounds. After all that, I feel the picture is far too static. Never mind. Onwards and upwards.

EDIT: Wow, daily deviation! Thanks to ^aeterne, and to everyone who has viewed/watched/commented and stuff! I tried to reply to everyone ... if I missed you out, I didn't mean to! It was a little over-whelming ^^; And to hard-core KtKnU fans ... I'm sorry I got his eye-colour wrong! I noticed that yesterday. And his hair falls on the wrong side, too! Man, I suck :XD:

You don't have to know the character to fall in love with ... GBH by ~kandinsky-prince. The colours, the style, the background and the textures - everything mixed together creates a peculiar mood and sensation, that are worth seeing. (Featured by `aeterne)

I've no qualms with your hair...or even the way you do your characters' (Boom boom etc etc)

Background very nice, and the picture as a whole sits nicely from a composition/colour pallete standpoint at least

Onwards and upwards indeed :nod:

I love Kaze to Ki no Uta!! It's the only boy's love anime I would consider artistic and well-written enough to show to film lovers in general. You have captured Gilbert's character perfectly.

Bravo!

That's okay! The comic is from the 70's ... the film is a little more recent. Tis great!
I don't think I was bold enough with my colours. I was heading for a kind of autumn-ey goldish scheme ... it ended up being a bit tomato-ey, lols.
Hearts for Ant! -> :heart:

I was wondering if you'd seen/read it! I desperately want to get hold of more of the manga ... :heart:
You're right, though ... KtKnU is one of the rare few decent boy's love pieces. When BL is done right, it's *really* done right ^_^ Old-school shounen-ai forever!! :XD:

Boom boom indeed!! :XD: Cheers, mate ^^ I think, looking at it now, he's plonked in the middle somewhat. I reckon it would be better if he was nudged over to the right a tiny bit ... oh well :XD:

UP UP AND AWAY!
