For Strung again. Strung was after all started because of the really complex relationship of duality and misunderstandings between Xelloss and Lina. I really wanted to show that, and show a sad piece because people look interesting when they're not smiling.

Lina's hair and the lines are in Prismacolor pencils, the rest is in Copic markers. I'm experimenting a lot with hard-lined shadows and cel-style shading. Sometimes I make a few mistakes in how to convey things but I learn every time.

This is really good, and you're right, I really do the love the emotion in this.
Lina and Xellos are so kewl when they hang around each other.

Mmmmmmmm. *staaaaaaare*

Now I really do have to go read Strung sometime, I've always been rather intrigued by how Lina and Xelloss interact. (Oh, must watch Slayers Next again sometime, too. WITH NO DUB WHATSOEVER THIS TIME. *rage*)

The mix usage with various mediums is very difficult.(I took some years for learning a not-bad mix result)
But you did it very well

Hair shading gives warm feeling (That's one of biggest merit of color pencil). And the skin shading is cool. Those match expresses the confused feeling of the two effectively. Nice pose, well done Irk~
