I was actually thinking about redrawing this drawing, and then the contest appeared. I though it would be a great opportunity. I have chosen one of my favourite drawings from that time, one I was really proud of. I even left this drawing as a featured deviation for some months. At the same time I wanted to make a new version, I was also scared of looking at it in the end and feel like I didn't improve anything. So... I'm glad that I could notice I improved some things, haha. And then i'll keep practicing!
These characters are also special to me. From a story that I and write together. They are twins, both boys, Nakayuki (long hair) and Haruhi (short hair), fire dogs entities. I made the character design in a time I was addicted to trap characters XD But somehow I still like it. Nakayuki is the happy and innocent type, actually he is not naive, since he knows how to defend himself, he is just too optimistic about people, and he believes he can bring the best of them. Nakayuki is a sorcerer / magician and can manipulate fire. While Haruhi is the grumpy type, the one that is always with a serious or angry expression. But hidden inside, he can be one of the sweetest character ever. Haruhi is a fighter and can manage weapons. As almost every twin story, they also share a deep connection. And also complement each other.
