This artwork was inspired by the last page of the Prince of Tennis manga where Ryoma was all grown up. I tried my best to draw Ryoma as Konomi Takeshi did but still not good enough!! When I was staring at that last colored manga page (hoping for some inspiration) it finally came to me!
Also because there is so much detail in this picture, I figured color pencil would be more efficient. Maybe I'll consider doing a digital version of it if I have time and the patience...
Here's the short and simple explanation for the picture that some of you might not understand:
Ryoma is older now. He comes back from America and walks around reminiscing a little. He sees a girl in a high ponytail playing tennis clumsily with a bad posture and he observes.
Sakuno is unaware of his presence. He is unaware of who she is. That's the whole point of this picture. You can assume that now that they're both there, they will definitely turn to each other and meet with eachother again as fate would put them together.
P.S. - I'm very bad with perspectives and stuff. You can see Sakuno's full body and she is much smaller than Ryoma because she is suppose to be a few feet in front of him (my paper space was limited so it didn't look like there was space between them. Sorry!) Ryoma is much larger and his feet is hidden because he is closer to the audience looking at the picture and he is standing farther back.
Yep. That's it. I did this in approx 2 hours... I hope the coloring isn't horrible. I hardly use colored pencils =X

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and *Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same.
