This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

SOME KICKASS UTENA FANART

Artists tend to be their own worse critics, I bet the main thing you don't like about it is the fact it isn't the polished works that you see from the master artist cos it would be the aspect of the artwork I'll be complaining about if that work was mine.

What you do have that many other fan artist don't seem able to do as well is the unusual but cool looking poses and the excellent facial expressions you have managed to pull off.

Re: Utena fanart!

Yes. You will post the UtenaJuri pic when you are done with it.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Uh, I mean...

Yes, please post the pic when you're done.

Whee, I love your work! etc-love Can't wait to see more.


Also, I've finally finished my Anthy/Akio pic! Next time I'll draw something on canvas. school-devil But then I can't show you people 'cause I don't have a camera yet and my scanner dislikes scanning anything that isn't paper.
And my evil scanner made some parts blurry. emot-mad

Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Re: Utena fanart!

Thank you very much! It's one of my favorite scenes too, that's why I wanted to draw it. If I had any ideas, I'd make other versions with that setting but I can't think of anything right now and they wouldn't be very original anyway. :/


And I love my current avatar! etc-love Akio + Anthy + Stars, what more could you want!

I like the idea that Anthy's face has that androgynous aspect to it and the Dios starshadow effect is pretty cool as well.

Re: Utena fanart!

A few portraits of my own perspective of the characters. I'm sorry if they all look alike. emot-keke0 It's quite difficult to give anime characters their own human faces while they all are technically the same templates with different hairstyles and hair colors, etc.

Simply click on the images for a full view.

I have a handful more in my DeviantArt account... though I daresay they aren't very nice. emot-keke0 That's not counting four more pieces that I have unfinished, so I'm reserving a lot more for the insults. *grins*

Re: Utena fanart!

Those are so pretty! Coloured pencils is such a hard media for me that I've completely given up on them. Also, though they look much more realistic, they still have the characteristics of each person. Saionji is my favourite from those 4 ^^

These are beautiful. I think you've done a fine job of capturing their individual looks. And I always drool over fine colored pencil work.

Lol this one's kind of an inside joke. My friends and I were playing Shadow of the Colossus and we were like "what if he had the Akio car?" Then things turned from bad to worse and this was drawn.

I think I like Anthy the most out of these previews.
