Description
[full view, please ^__^]So when I heard what the theme was for March, I knew automatically that I was going to draw a koinobori. I have no idea why, but I really wanted it to be the first fish that I ever drew. [<-- Yeah, I know, I need to get out more--lol] So lets overlook the fact that Sashi at this age, about the equivalent of 15-16 years old, would most likely never be involved in a Children's Day festival and therefore never have any need for a koinobori in the first place, shall we? ^^ ;;
Teenaged!Sashi may be disgruntled and disaffected, but I still love him ^^

All and all I'm happy with this AC, as I was able to achieve the picture that I saw in my head, which is pretty rare. It looks like an old photo[probably one that Zeph would have squirreled away in some photo album --haha] I'm still working on the shading and highlighting, but I'm mostly happy with the way that I'm doing it now, so it's just a matter of practice. Also, I like my carp windsock! First fish ever, so yay for that.

For some reason as soon as I saw this picture it reminded me of The Little Prince, which I know is a book and such but I used to watch it as a cartoon when I was a kid. I haven't seen it since I was like... six so I don't know why it reminded me of it, for all I know there's zero resemblance but I dunno... maybe Sashi is a little prince deep down or something.
Anyway, I absolutely adore this picture.

The Little Prince was a cartoon? I only recall the book, but I read it a hundred years ago [<--approx. number there. For serious >.>] Trying to envision Sashi as a prince of anything is not an image my brain will make and he's shooting me death glares for even trying--lol
I'm glad you like the pic ^^

Yup, it played on Nickelodeon in the early 80's. I swear I was addicted to that channel as a kid.
*giggles at angry little prince Sashi*

Thank you ^__^ It definitely worked out in terms of getting that old photo look that I wanted [for once! lol] and I'm quite happy with that, plus fish! I thought that the fish might be a disaster, but it came out pretty good.
Teenaged!Sashi always looks this way, it's his standard expression XD

I love this picture very, very much. It's bright and light and summerlike and the kite is wonderful. It's just so great- the colors and Sashi and the little details <3

Thank you ^__^ I'm really happy with the way it turned out overall and it did end up having that aged but still bright quality to it that I was going for.
