Oh my oh my oh my oh my!!!! This took me... ages to do lol! My longest artwork ever! About 15 hours or so. And and and and... for one of those very rare times of my life: I'm proud of this one!!!! Even if I was too lazy to make clouds without special brushes and too lazy to erase some white points outside the lines of Kiba; I really like this one.

It was more for a test than anything else. I wanted to do a Wolf's Rain fanart for a long time, but their characters don't fit with my style. Plus I'm kinda annoyed of seeing some newbies copying my style, it's starting to be frustating and thus, I needed a break from my true style. Don't get me mad thought, my other arts will be in my true style, no matter if they continue to copy me or not.
So I tried a more common style( billion of artists use this style, if you forget some details). I like it
I also wanted to try a new shading style, which had to fit with this art style. I didn't wanted to follow the muscles, I'm too lazy for that lolz". So I simply let my hand guide the pencil tablet alone. I like how it turned out, different from what I'm used to do .
I asked ~hecatehell if she could ink me the characters. Inking them with a brush as I do on my other artworks wouldn't be good. I thought that the pencil tool(? not sure of the english name, I'm talking about that "squill" thingy ^^") will be good. Alas, I don't have it on my Photoshop Element 5.0. So yeah, ~hecatehell inked my lines, biiiiiiiiiiiig thanks to her( go and watch her she's an awsome artist! ) .
Even for the sky I tried something new. I used the same cloud brushes that I'm used to use, but didn't use them the same way. I also added some "light effects" thanks to brushes I often used( I stopped to use them, dunno why, now I think I'll re-use them more). And less stars have been done.( See my folder "usefull stuff" in my favourites if you're interested by all those brushes).
So, only the snow has been made the same way I always do. Yeah, many experimentations on this fanart. Much fun .

Now, quickly, about the scene: just Darcia and Kiba in their final fight for the Rakuen I didn't do much blood, I didn't want to. I like blood from time to time when it's done by other people on their own pics', but not on mine lol.
I also did the Red Moon between the two characters' heads, to remind a bit of the Yin and Yang concept. After all, the ending of W'sR is a kind of Yin Yang story-blablablabla .
