No. 6 Wallpaper: That which fades away

Here's my DA Blurb:

Quote: I've been working on this vector for a long well now. I've finally got it completed.

First was the battle of 'which hair colour bests suits Nezumi?' Of which I asked my f-list on LJ.

Quote: Having a slight issue deciding.
#1 is what I started with using the colours on the original scan
#2 was me trying to make it slightly blue
#3 was using a screen cap for colours

Decided #2 would be best, from liking it more so than anything else. Seeing as #3 was more close to the anime colour.

Next was Sion, if you've seen the scan of this you'd know there is a dog with Sion, of which I decided I didn't want.

Thoughts on the process after just starting Sion.

Then I decided after completing the boys to try to recreate the background w/o the dogs & Inukashi. I think plain greys work for the background, or at least I hope they do. Then there is the water in the fountain. That didn't turn out like I had planned/hoped. Sorta ended up looking like the sky might, but decided to keep it like that.

Title comes from one of the translations of Ono no Komachi, KKS:797 (Love) and seems fitting for this piece since it is mentioned in the novels.
