Platinum Heart [UPDATE 3/2]

[Update 3/2]

Platinum Royale has been cleaned up! The crown was traced in due to cropping along with all of those obnoxious ruffles because of the detail not being very visible in my printed reference (see below) but I'm happy with the results. I'd have added the glowing effect, but it wouldn't have really shown up again the white background anyway, so it'll be there when it comes time for full color.

The next theme for my February drawing challenge was "Heart", so I immediately thought of Amulet Heart and Platinum Royale's combined attack.

Truth be told, this is another one I'm taking a second crack at after MANY years, but my first attempt was drawn from the scene in the manga and.... I'm honestly wishing I had STUCK with the manga here just for the sake of a clearer reference... All the glowing made it REALLY hard to make out the details, hence why Tadase/Platinum Royale is going to have to be cleaned later since he'll need a good deal of saving (mostly all of the ruffles on his clothes....)

As for Amu/Amulet Heart so far, her Heart Rod had to be traced in (along with the very top of Platinum Royale's Royal Staff) because I wasn't happy with my attempt and the bottom of her skirt had to be re-mapped, but other than that no major changes or fixes.

Shugo Chara! and all of its characters, including Amu/Amulet Heart and Tadase/Platinum Royale, are (c) Peach Pit, Kodansha, Del Rey and any/all other respective owners. I do not own the series/character(s) in any way, I am just a fan!
