This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Utena in armor is love. Therefore so is that pic.

I've always LOVED those sketchy pics in the Art of Utena book. I'm glad to see someone make them a little bit clearer! Good job!

AWESOME SKETCHES FROM THE ART OF UTENA BOOK
YOU. Several of those images have been on my list for lining and vectoring into full color images. Especially Indian Anthy. I've just been waiting to get better at pulling shading out of my arse. Also the sketches required a lot of reconstruction as you know...if I ever get around to it, you've done a huge amount of work there for me, would you mind terribly if I used your sketches for the lines? I'd credit you of course.

Edit: Holy crap between that and the vague color lines in the original, I could totally vector that. And it's so naughty.

That's alright, I just wanna see them in colour.
I can't cell shade for the life of me. X__x I'm hoping to learn soon
And that last one from last time is missing a hand X___x looked back over it today and noticed 'heeeey... I forgot to draw her hand draped over anthy's shoulder... >_<'
I've redraw a good portion of it again, but laziness and unfamiliarity with the costumes is making me want to come back later... in the mean time, have more

In any version I vector? Absolutely.

Hmm? That Miki you made is fantastic, I myself prefer Movie Miki in terms of style, but I say you capture one with it's own elegance as well.

More suggestive armor pics... I can die happy now!

I'm torn between the two Miki's myself. (Twas my first favourite character )
I didn't post all of the armor pics I think, namely as I cannot figure out Anthy's #$%^ collar thing. its been driving me crazy. Glad to bring hapiness.
Both I and Mariannie submitted a fanart for this one, and I'm gonna post hers too cause I like hers better...

I don't know why it gave me so much trouble since I'd already drawn it but I made the back Utena in blue for easier telling apart... or something.

movie Utena posing behind the drawing board/book thing.
This one was smaller than an LJ icon
Those boxes are supposed to be paintings I assume but they were so damn tiny I had NO idea what was in there.
Someday when I feel artsy I will make it look like something.

Both of them are excellently done, though I love the symbolism of the Princess / Prince undoubtedly you do as well or else you wouldn't have said you like it better then your own work, hehe. And the Black Rose picture is very creepy, well done on that one!

Oh oh! I just remembered I had this: (beware: nudity) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/ … 492792.jpg It seems to me that it's based on the same sketch, but for some reason the artist (sadly I don't know who the author is) decided to draw the Movie Utena and Anthy.
Still, it's quite naughty. (And should probably be posted in IFD.)

And here's my comic. With my twisted sense of humor.
It took longer to finish it than I expected, also I haven't even started colouring part 2.
And sorry for the sketchiness and sloppy colouring, I was to lazy to ink it and I just found out how simple cell shading actually is, but I tend to suck at the simple things.

I forgot what it was called! Thanks for the link.
And here's part 2. If you haven't read the SKU Sims thread (shame on you! Do it now!) then you won't understand this. Poor Miki...

These are awesome.
Touga totally did a Keanu Reeves there.
Edit: Poo on the artist for using movie Utena and Anthy. I wanna see series Utena and Anthy gettin' it on like that.

This is fun. My favorite face is Utena in panel 4 of the first set.
Oh yes. Especially contrasted to Anthy's totally relaxed and interested expression. I guess IFD isn't anything new to her...

Seriously, nearly all the naughty Utena/Anthy is movie fanart! And if that's not enough, then I don't think I've ever really come across naughty Akio fanart. That's so sad... even all the promo artwork of him manages not to get too naughty.
I'm glad you people like the comics! More coming when I find time (it's my schoolbreak, but I don't know where all my free time goes to... )

I'm guessing the naughty Akio promo art is lacking because the rest of the cast doesn't spend the whole series doing this.
Someday, I will tackle that image. Someday.

The comics... They're brilliant. ;v;
I've had a good idea for a Christmasy Utena short comic thingie, but alas... It wasn't meant to be. I'm such a perfectionist, I can't force myself to post something that I don't consider good. However, just to show I'm not slacking off, I did draw something remotely related to SKU... But, just remotely. (I decided to steal Dios' costume.)
Offline
Oh that's just too adorable. The wings!!
Offline
Why thank you!
And your Arkiony is very cool! I love how it's coloured *_*
Also, I just noticed I forgot to colour Juri's Rose signet. Damn, when I thought I had finished it I KNEW I forgot something but never realised what it was. I'll fix it next time.

Very nice! His wings are beautiful. I think Dios' uniform fits him quite well.
