Description

Himura Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe of Rurouni Kenshin

Close-up kenshin, tomoe close-up by amie689

Request prize for :iconhinata-kenshin: - more that a year overdue.. and she requested Kenshin and Tomoe during happier moments..

Kenshin and Tomoe happy moments were barely implied - For the longest time it was just looking for ideas, since I'm basically a canon / canon compliant person and have a strong aversion to direct copy..

In the end, I had 3 references for Kenshin and 3 for Tomoe, and one for scene and lighting/ shading.. and even more issues.. they all had different lighting, shading, angles and perspectives I've spent so much time just editing even before any part is complete..

Takeru Satoh was used for Kenshin and Satomi Ishihara was used for Tomoe.. from various promo and magazine shots.. and a wedding photo from Flickr for the mountians and initial idea... No screen caps,.. this scene was never written or animated- I just put every thing together.

Edit 23/06/14: I was in the middle of editing this, when it finally occurred to me to check the timeline... Ikedaya incident happened in July, and by winter, Tomoe died.. so it wouldn't have been possible for the two of them to have a spring together, so I had to change this version to autumn.

Wonderful!  I love live action-style Kenshin art.
