[Fanart post]

[sensuelles]

Ok, so lately I've been looking around for pretty fanart and I came upon this artist named Lily who draws a lot of Akatsuki art. Her stuff is AMAZING, so I thought I'd share. Chances are, if you've gone around looking for Akatsuki pairings, you've probably stumbled upon her work before.

She does A LOT of Itachi pics and I'm completely head over

(you could alter Konan's hair to make it blue in photoshop, just saying. xD)

She's really amazing, I agree. LOVE her painting, and her linework is very delicate and fierce-looking, imo. She really gets at the wrongness and hotness of Akatsuki at once. They all look half-malnourished and bright-eyed with fever, and yet ajdkjakfjskjfsdkfjsd HOT. xD

HAHA, I've been trying to make her hair blue on photoshop actually but it doesn't look as nice as the original so I stopped.

That's the perfect way to describe it! I've been searching around crazily for her stuff the past two days and saving it all to my hard drive. It's really some of the best fanart I've seen in a long time.

Yeah... I guess unless you did it through hue/saturation, it would look weird. And her skintone would probably go sallow then too. You could just drop all the color then recolorize as a blue duotone, that might look nice.

She definitely knows what she's doing with digital painting. I kind of sekritly bought all those digital painting books in the hopes that I could paint like her someday. xDDD

ohhh does this mean you are an artist? I never knew!

And yeah...her digital painting skills are amazing. The shading is beautiful and subtle.

Kind of, I'm a designer/illustrator. I need to learn something about animation drawing before I do fanart, but I have some planned. xD Fanfic is just monopolizing my fantime at the moment.

Aren't they? I reaaaally love her shading too. If that's not Painter, I'll eat my hat. xD No way do you get that beautiful blend effect with photoshop.
