Never Coming Home

[Celtic_Emperor]

When she heard her husband's unit was coming home she was beside herself with joy....only now she's beside herself for another reason as men in military uniforms relucantly greet her at her door...

Wow - that's impressive. You've got the details and the shading down pat, fairplay. I love the fanart you do, but this is something else.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

You don't visit the non-tickling section very much do you? Its funny how you only respond until I post it here. LOL

Anyways, thank you.

Yes, being that it is a portrait and not a fanart, it is quite different, and a welcome change. Adds variety to my collection.

Wow, even the rough sketch is really good

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

I thought it would be nice to show what it all started with.

 

[Sockstickler]

It is. It sort of shows the evolution to how the picture came to look like what it does now.

Hm... It seems I have not yet commented on this one yet (I've been a bit lazy lately).

My, this is a very beautiful and touching drawing. It seems less "manga" than your usual drawings. I like it very much!

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Its not manga style at all, which makes it unique. Thank you.

Great picture. I like the entire concept. Not just the art but also the 'background' or 'fluff'.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Thank you.
