Christmas Picture 2004: The Making Of
|
|
15.11.2005 - 21:00; Project by Saniika.
|
Last winter we presented you our idea of how Yuki Eiri, Shindo Shuichi, Niwa Daisuke and Dark are spending the holidays together. We would like to show you the work "behind the "scenes", from the sketches to full-colored Christmas Picture.
We wanted to create something special, something you don't see on every second site with the theme of shounen-ai or yaoi. Our idea was to bring characters from different anime(s) together as never seen before. As Gravitation is very popular shounen-ai anime and DN Angel is one of our personal favorites we decided to pick these two. Since both series have very beautiful animation, we would be lost without our talented artist Saniika who brought the characters to life.

| Sketches: |
|
| The hardest thing was to determine the relation of heights of the characters. How much taller is Yuki Eiri than Dark? Is Niwa the same height as Shuichi? |
