Description

'It doesn't matter how long it takes. I will save you,' he said, with that serious expression.

Yuki smiled eerily before stepping back to part: 'I'll kill you before that happens,' she replied, eyes empty and cold.

Ar, it's Yuki again! And there's Ima who went through a huge change in appearance :\

To sum things up, they're both beings with special abilities. Yuki, who was in my previous submission, is the deranged mental girl who has split personalities. Her dark side conquers the light and therefore she stays in an evil state. Ima is a seer of dreams. In the beginning of the story, he meets Yuki through travelling in her dream... Later on, he learns about her past from her older brother, and being the nice person he is, he decides to rescue her good spirit. And let's guess what happens!? Guy tries to save girl... and falls in love! So yes, there we have it. Makes him want to help her even more now!

What a crappy summary! It's not that simple, but I'm not a good storyteller, hohoho ;)

Technical stuff... Y'know I went through different phases with this :\ Started out with the sketch and was 'OMG I LOVE IT!', then got to the inking and whew, the scale dropped. After it was the scanning and fixing the mistakes the easy way... the pretty cleaned-up lineart gave me hope again! Then... added colors... 'OMG THIS SUCKS!'... Later, had to go work, so it was on hiatus. Came back and it was still ugly, but I finished it anyway, then tampered with the Photoshop effects and filters (which are godly, mind you). And... I started to like it again! Momentarily. It became 'eww' again after, but it's O...K... I guess. Maybe it's just cuz I got over this pic... or that I have something else that I find that much better in the works, go figure. Meh, anyway, feels like I haven't learned much from this pic (cept that filters are godly!).

(~rei-chan had to listen to me whine about it... I'm so sorry!!!!! *dramaqueen* : D Just kidding!)

PS: I SPENT SO LONG THINKING OF A TITLE!!! WHY IS IT SO HARD!?!?!?!?!?!? It would have been something like Your Death for my Deliverance or something like that before, but it just didn't sound title worthy >_> Arg.
