This started out as a joke for an anime contest on some random unknown doll contest board and somehow evolved into two dolls with a background XD HOW, I DON'T KNOW.
Anyway this is the first time I experimented with a palette like this, which consists mostly of dark blues, greens and black. It was really surprising how much versatility I got out of such dark colors while completely killing my eyesight DX *mainly worked at night so she could actually distinguish the blacks T3T* I tried to keep everything as simple as possible parts-wise (i.e. - clothing, props) and focused more on the technique itself.
As for the characters, Tamaki and Kyoya are pretty much the only characters I like from Host Club. I tried to give them distinctive facial features - Kyoya is supposed to look Asian while Tamaki has more of a European flair lol XD It's also the first time I worked with more realistic proportions; that explains the severe modding of the shobo13 base. The white was reeallly hard to do because I was really working with neon blue and it was just very off-putting. Tamaki's wearing an outfit I put together from several of his pictures and Kyoya's wearing his track jacket from the back of volume 1. He looks like a potential POT recruit -3-)
these boys are hot.
It's me Left Butt Cheek the deranged one...
