Once there was a chibi dragon and an exotic prince from a faraway land…

…the dragon happened to be half human…

…and the prince happened to love him very much!

NOTE: Bilal looks lazy and sleepy because penetration just happened, my original intention wasn’t SEX. XD

If you are wondering why you are so alone with your Hakuouki BL and mature fanworks lust, I have more good news: fans are gathering to talk and share their love in SHINSENLOVE LiveJournal community! Join now!

And lastly,  fanart that I posted everywhere else but not on my own site… Bad me.

Demon of the Fleeting Blossom!

Closeup (size 1920 x 1080)

I finished most of this pic in May, but I overworked it, so I put it aside and picked it up now to ‘finish’. (Remember what Leonardo da Vinci said: “Art is never finished, only abandoned.”) Since I worked on this pic for so long and abandoning it hurts, I have some long-winded comments about it:

Inspiration naturally came from Samurai Warriors Chronicles; the MUST game for Sakon x Mitsunari shippers. They’re so wonderful together… I truly saw a tragic love story there!  All dialogue from the game can be read from my LJ: SPOILERS- here -SPOILERS.

The scene in this pic can be dream or reality; a reunion after Sekigahara. I of course want to believe that they are alive, so Sakon has his bullet wound scar. I had to make it stand out like that with an unusual shape, because at first it looked like another nipple. Sometimes changes must be made for the bigger picture’s sake! XD

Technique is my usual: most body parts and pieces of garment are painted on separate layers, I make the edges crisp and add a separate shadow layer below. This may add to the 3D effect. It’s not really my intention but it happens if I can’t abandon a pic before I get obsessed by it. This time I wanted sunny bright colors to give a happy reunion feel, my monitor is carefully calibrated but I can’t really imagine how horrible this will look on a laptop or non-calibrated PC. ^^”

More revealing secrets… First sketch, brushes I used and ref pics:

It looks like I forgot the fabric brush… I drew the cloud, flowers and the dandelion fluff by hand and converted them into brushes.

*EDIT: MITSUNARI’S SONG!

For a friend~

Real Chopin had tuberculosis and he took opium drops in sugar cubes as medication. He also had hallucinations…

Chopin described seeing “a cohort of phantoms,” according to his lover George Sand. “The phantoms called him, embraced him… and he pushed away their skeletal faces away from his [face] and fought under their icy hands,”

I haven’t played Eternal Sonata, but I hear it does deal with Chopin’s illness, so I thought it was justified to make this pic a bit twisted underneath the nice first impression.

Chopin is 39-years-old in the game and looks like this:

This pic has a tiny teeny difference, can you spot it?

Yokozawa Takafumi x Yanase Yuu

This pairing didn’t get a chance in the anime/manga, but my friend made it happen in hot fanfiction. *edit: linky to ficcy!

Takano Masamune

First awful attempt to draw these characters in my style… Cel-shaded anime characters don’t like me.

This is my guilty pleasure pairing… I love Kondou-san, Ito’s plotting was baaaad, BUT!! It was politics. In the anime everything happened so fast, historically Ito-san was in the Shinsengumi from November 1864 to April 1867. That’s a long time to have a tragic yaoi romance without hope of a happy ending!

Kondou adored Ito and the anime made it kind of clear, this drama episode clip brings up the political side and… makes both Kondou and Ito cry together:

Now all you need to do is to picture angry and jealous Hijikata and Souji spying on them… Oh Hakuouki… too many pairing possibilities, somebody’s feelings are bound to get hurt.

Samurai Warriors Chronicles is a dream game for Sakon/Mitsunari shippers. TK decided to give up the awkward attempt to pimp SW3 Mitsunari to the man who historically loathed him (Kiyomasa) and hence in SWC we can concentrate on the good old epic *cough*canon*cough* SakonMitsu pairing. Their relationship was already lovey dovey in SW3 despite of the sad Kiyomasa plot line, but SWC made their love even more obvious. (Don’t worry, Kiyomasa isn’t left crying alone in a corner; Muneshige claimed him as his own. And Kiyo openly loves Nene. ;)

Alright… With shaky fangirl hands, trembling with fangasms I caught this piece of delicious dialogue on video from the tiny screen of Nintendo 3DS:

VIDEO with sound here:

…And Japanese subtitles:
Mitsunari「左近、お前に言いたいことがあったのだ。」
Sakon「なんですかい、言いたいことって？」
Mitsunari「俺は、お前と…」
Sakon「おっと、その先は言わない約束ですよ？ 」

(*cough* Isn’t that even better in Japanese?)

Hopeless starry-eyed fujoshi comments continue:

Nari is so in love that he can’t hold his own tongue… *_* He’s become more human (even humane) since SW2 – without losing his unique personality that makes him more complex and interesting than Hesus Ieyasu.

Ano… did this game have some other purpose than BL? Absolutely not! Hack & Slash has become just SLASH! That’s why the Eastern Army is goddamn boring with weeping Ieyasu gently killing everyone in the name of peace without once feeling up his Hanzo nor riding his Tadakatsu. Maybe they’ll do something about that in SW4…
