Mandi's Art Gallery

Thank you sooooooo much everybody!! :D:D:D I'm so happy to see all these lovely comments and receive so much support on working with this new, original style. Thank you VERY much!! :D

Now I do have something else, however it's fanart and so it's not done in my usual style. The new Inuyasha episode was on yesterday and yes...my favorite character in the whole series
died...;_;
So...I decided that something needed to be drawn in her honour. Here's Inuyasha and Kikyou/Kikyo sharing
her final moments together
This drawing IS a spoiler for those of you who don't know what's going on so look at your own risk!!!!

Oh Mandi... SO SAD :sad2: I'm going to sob when I get to that episode, I swear xD It looks so horribly sad for Inuyasha... poor guy D: I love the little mini pictures there, and I can't WAIT to see this one colored... despite how sad it is :gonk:
 
Wow these look fantastic!

Not to say that they are better than your previous work, just that these are just as brilliant!

I simply adore the hairstyles you've given them and the eyes and lips look simply fantastic!

You've really captured the emotion in these!
 
Thanks guys! :D I'll probably be posting more of that new style soon so keep your eyes pealed! Anyway, I finished coloring my most recent sketch of Inuyasha and Kikyo/Kikyou. So I will say now:

INUYASHA SPOILERS BELOW!! VIEW DRAWING AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

This drawing took me almost 3 freakin days to finish! It's insane huh? Right, where to begin. Well, this past Saturday the new episode of Inuyasha came on and it was really really really damned sad. I don't really want to go into deep explanation, but let's just say I've actually never cried like that during an anime. This particular chapter in the manga made me cry some. Other anime has made me cry some, but this episode right here in particular absolutely did me in. As most of you all know, Kikyou/Kikyo is my favourite anime character, especially in Inuyasha.

Now, you also should know that despite the fact she's my fave, I DO NOT ship the Inuyasha and Kikyou pairing AFTER she's been resurrected. Now before hand, before Kagome came into the picture, before she was even BORN and when they were together then sure. They would've made a very sweet couple. But alas that didn't happen. Anyway, I wanted to draw their final moments together but I wanted to draw a few of the poses and images they were in and express Inuyasha's anguish over losing Kikyou. So, I drew 5 separate images. I wasn't sure how to space them out, so I just kinda scattered them wherever. They're not in order and neither are the quotes from this particular scene.

However if you've read the manga chapter and/or seen the new episode then you can probably guess what order they should be in. I absolutely wailed the way they had her die in Inuyasha arms. It was so different in the manga and so much more pronounced in the anime, the way her head just fell back in mid-kiss and then she just faded away. It was beautifully bittersweet and heartbreaking. Anyway, here's Inuyasha sharing our lovely Kikyou's final moments with her, along with giving her a kiss goodbye as an ordinary woman.

Omg, soo sad Mandi D: D: D: D: I'm going to cry when I see that episode, I just KNOW it. I love the dark colors and the clouds in this, and it looks like it could be an actually anime screen rather than a drawing.. it's that good. Or at least I think it is xD I'm not fond of Scriptina for the font though xD That's the only thing bothering me... such a sad sad sad scene :gonk:

Poor Kikyou. Poor Inuyasha :gonk: *sobs*
 
OMG that had so much emotion throughout the entire drawing. =0

I love how you added in little bits of what they were saying. It really added to the sadness of it all. >_<

Simply fantastic drawing as always!

The colours are gorgeous and the emotion you've captured in their faces is brilliant!

I really am looking forward to watching this series. I've decided to buy it for myself for Christmas if I can get a hold of it!
 
Thanks guys! This past week's episode was really good so be expecting some fanart from that too <.< Anyway today what I have for you is NOT fan art, but this is actually a Christmas gift art for two of my friends. The character in red is Lemia, the character in the middle is my Celeste and the character to the right is my other friend's OC Lily. We're all snuggling and enjoying the snow in our little fashionable winter coats! I was going to give this to them tomorrow but I can't stand it, so I'm giving it to them now that's why I'm posting it. :lew: Anyway, enjoy!

INUYASHA SPOILER WARNING! VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Thank you so much everybody! That was a tough drawing to make tbh, especially since she's my favourite character. Thanks for all the lovely comments though! And here's my weekly dose of Inuyasha fanart. This time, Sesshoumaru and Rin from last week's ep. Every emotional ep. I'll leave some space so if people don't want to be spoiled they don't have to scroll down and look at it.

He does look a lot like his mother. =0

Very gorgeous hair as always and she looks so elegant!

Her eyes look simply gorgeous too. <3

I'm going to JB Hi-Fi today to see if I can find the boxset for this series. It looks like it'd really be my type of anime. ^_^
 
Like the picture....don't like the thought though....

....As if Sesshoumaru could get any more Bishonen.... *needs to get rid of scary thought.*
 
Are you talking about the one above the newest one where Sessh is holding Rin? The newest one just below his is Sesshoumaru's mother.
 
Haha I love it, his face on the right is awesome, he looks so disgruntled, and I love the cat 8F

Also, I apear to have missed the mothership up there, I LOVE the colours
 
Somehow, Sessh doesn't look very haaaaaaaaapp 8F But I think Rin's having plenty of fun, so it's okay :yay:

Awww Kagome and Inuyasha :ryan:

Poor Jaken there... all beaten xD

I SEE YOU, SANGO AND MIROKU :gasp: Get out there into the middle of things, damnit!

And Kirara looks like she's having fun 8F
