Trade: Lina and Zel for Eugene by ~persephohi:iconpersephohi:

Artist's Comments

Okay, months and months ago I agreed to an art trade with the gorgeously talented and now I've finally finished it! Yaaaaay! She asked for Lina and Zel in whatever universe/setting I wanted, she wanted something seductive and dangerous, like the secret love between enemies. I thought about it a lot and came up with a Greek setting, with Zel as a temple robber who'd been cursed by the gods into a golem form, and Lina as the demi-goddess Nemesis who's been sent to punish him for his crimes against the gods. Here is their climactic showdown after many other such encounters where he'd escaped. This time, there's no way out for either of them.

I tried something a little different than my normal style this time. I wanted to push myself more and I did, so I'm proud of it. It's not perfect, but I still like it anyway. Full-view, please. :)

Um....she looks nothing like Kenshin there. ^^ Have anything to say about Slayers? ;) Or this picture for that matter?

Absolutely GORGEOUS depiction, lady...you really have done an amazing job. I've seen this pic on various stages of completion, and I have to say that I'm awed more and more with each layer of detail. The result is outstanding, in both composition and color. A Greek theme is unique, and very seldom-seen...you've done Lina and Zel justice; I can see something like this happening very easily.

I'm sure Eugene will love this; you've put so much work and effort into this pic. Congrats on its completion! :clap:

Oh, interesting idea! It came out very pretty! I was very satisfied with my end of a trade with her.

Yeah, I'm more than happy with the Utena drawing she did for me (quite a while ago), she does high-quality work in a very short amount of time.

And thank you, I appreciate it! Considering how nice your work always is, I'm very happy to hear that you like this. :)

Thank you, thank you. :bow: I'm pleased with how well this came out, considering how much trouble it gave me for so long. Hopefully it'll continue to look good in a few weeks; my work has a tendeancy to loose some of its luster after a while, I've found, but right now I think it looks pretty good, save a few problem areas. :) And thank you for all the help, lady, I really appreciate it. :)

So I wake up and go, "Hey, let's look at DA stuff", find this on my watch list, and then I see it, and die.

No, really. This is my ghost, speaking to you from beyond the grave. x_X I was killed by the sheer gorgeousness of the picture. What can I say? Good adjectives fail me! One of the best lighting jobs I've seen - dramatic, breathtaking, particularly on the lance near Zel and Lina's wing; your trademark style which I *missed* (I just love the way you draw bodies, I love the way you drew *these* bodies, sensual, powerful, dynamic), and, yeah, it's Slayers, brought to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF COOL, what with the Greek Myth theme and all (kudos to you on picking that, I drool, I really do.)

Now I will go and follow on the course of my immortal soul. But I die a happy man!

Is it wrong that I'm waaaay more interested in the story of this picture than I am in finding out what Slayers is all about? Because I am. Wow, the fabric of her dress looks so awesome, smooth and soft, just like her wings. I love how the light from the spear highlights their bodies' countours and clothes as well. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...

it looks gorgeous!
I especially like her red wings...
(reminds me of Daisuke's wings in D.N.Angel where wing-colour is dependant on hair-colour. =^_^=
