Vespertine final Illustration

[cynchick]

I actually meant to do more for this story than I did, but I just didn't have the time. I tried to make up for it with this last one. :)

Work Safe. Hope you like.




As usual, bigger and better at DA.

I always love how you do their hair and this one has to be one of my favorites by you.

oh thank you; i was wondering. and this is just beautiful!! surprisingly bright, sunny palette, but perfect for the happy ending. and the soft focus background balances the brights. they look so happy! awwwwww!

wait wait i forgot to show some love for the very best part -- his delicate smile! omg i was fixated on it. can't believe i didn't mention it right away. * ______* <---- my drawing style.

SO CUTE!

Very beautiful art as always. So warm and tender. ^_^
And Yay for the final chapter of Vespertine!!! Loved it!

Does it mean that we will soon see the beginning of your long awaited KakaSaku story? Please say yes!!! I SO want to see your KakaSaku! I love ALL your writing but THIS one I was impatiently expecting for quite some time now! I just know it will be fantastic! Ever since Perception and the slight KakaSaku there I was practically dreaming of you writing full story dedicated to this pairing! They are so hot together!

Thanks! I think its one of my favorites too. XD

Haha thanks. It was a little tricky drawing Itachi smiling without looking weird. Whenever he smiled in the manga he always looked really creepy (except for his last smile ;_;). Its probably because of those ridiculously exaggerated stress lines under his eyes. I take a more realistic approach. XD

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes, I'm working on a KakaSaku next. I had to wait until I had a really great story to tell before I took on my OTP. :)

Heh, Itachi looks a bit bulky, which, of course, is quite understandable, knowing that he's recovered fully. I guess I just prefer the more slender and somewhat sinewy version of him... Perfect skin tones, perfect hair, as usual. The background setting clashes with the characters and the situation somehow, but I like the light and the colors, very nice.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Oh that's so beautiful. *shakes head* Your unique style always makes Sakura look so alive; she looks so happy in this one it warms my heart. :3

I did read the last chapter and I have to say, it was wonderful. Just had to put that out there.

I couldn't believe what I saw when I read that "the Future" would be the last chapter of Vespertine. Though I incredibly enjoyed your story, somehow I think the end came too fast. But you made up for it, and gave us one of the most beautiful endings you ever wrote (Perception's left me sad and sorrowful, but it was meant to be).
I'm tempted to beg for an epilogue (Inner!me is grumbling about the lack of ItaSaku KIDDIES! <3), but as I said, there is nothing more to add to your story so it wouldn't be justified. I guess. D:

Anyway, thank you for your story and your devotion to your work. I heard you intend to write a KakaSaku fic after this, and though I hold no particular liking for this pairing, I'd glad to read something from you again. Do you think you will ever come back to ItaSaku after this? :)

Just beautiful, as always. I love their expressions! And jeez, I just want to touch Itachi's hair *_*

Congrats on finishing the fic, btw.

Like I said on dA, Itachi looks like Kaname XD.
Whew. It's finally over, eh? Do you feel relieved or sad that it wasn't longer?
Congrats on finishing, though. The ending was tres sweet.

Thanks!

Thanks! A lot of people are asking for an epilogue, specifically because they want to see Itachi and Sakura with babies. There wont be one though; the story is complete as I wanted to tell it. If people want to imagine them married and having kids, they can do that. I personally don't see Itachi ever wanting kids, with as unhappy as his own childhood was. :/

Thanks!

I'm glad this fic is finally over. It's KakaSaku tiem. XD

[kimiren.livejournal.com]

oh my... *luuurvs it* well done!♥♥♥

[wxs.livejournal.com]

Wow. My first thought was that the background was a photograph. That looks amazing.

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Such a beautiful picture. You MUST teach your secrets of amazing art. :]

It's sad to see this story finished, but I am anxiously awaiting your KakaSaku.

[renorfaer.livejournal.com]

You have such a wonderful ability to make the people you draw just come alive! this is beautiful as always and really helps draw Vespertine to a close (love the last chapter also). I really like how the background has the sun pouring in- really adds warmth to the whole piece. Thanks or sharing it!

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Thanks! KakaSaku is being outlined, but the first chapter probably wont be posted for a couple months.

[fye-sama.livejournal.com]

Holy mother of all the ItaSaku gods! *-*
Now I'm not only finding myself loving your fic, but also loving your pics! I agree with you, the shorter hair does make Itachi look hot (on a whole new level, if I say so myself).

You have an amazing eye for detail (but I could already tell by reading your stories XD). The colors are really nice, perfect for their reunion, and your drawing is really beautiful.
Good work!

[koshitsu-kamira.livejournal.com]

Your picture is amazing! The background colours are so vibrant, full of hapiness and energy like the sun. The figures are beautiful too. Congratulation!

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

I think Itachi looks a little like Takumi (from Nana) with that hair. XD

Thanks!

Cyn, this is one of the most beautiful and touching pieces of fanart that I've ever seen. I'd be lying if I said it didn't spark a tiny lump in my throat when I saw it. The colouring is amazing, and their faces- the emotion contained in them- are so sensitively done and everything just feels so right. Also, congratulations on finishing Vespertine. I did love it. <3

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! :D

[tricia1224.livejournal.com]

I always love your artwork and your stories. As always I am sad for the end of a good story, but also happy for the happy ending. I am sorry I haven't been keeping up with everything and leaving feedback on your stories. But I am all caught up now and wow! Amazing as always.

[cynchick.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Amazing!

Wow...I will be forever enchanted by Itachi's killer smile and you have created the most beautiful Sakura I have ever seen. This, by far, is the most heart warming of your wonderful creations. I'm so glad that talented people like you exist! I look forward to your future works! =D

Re: Amazing!
