Hey - glad to see other peeps doing fanart.

I don't know how much control you have over models-- but I think Keiki's face should be less square in shape and more oval.... also can you model his hair lighter and longer?

yeah still working on him..he seems a bit chubby...his hair is actually way down below the butt...i have to post him from a diffrent angle...the problem is to get his hair forward over the shoulder more(youko too covers is a bit..i guess i mover a little)...i see what i can do to lighten his hair a bit more up...i had it pretty light,but when i rendert it it came out white-white without any tones and shades..
Thanks for your sugestion
those models are quiete controllable from every possible angle


and yes it's very hard to find Juuni Kokki art even on Devart there are only a few..and i must say your's is one off the best out there(my fav is the one of taiki and Rika)

Wow, thats impressive! Nice work, I bet its a long process to render models with that much detail, how long did it take you to get this far?

It did not take to long to render, seems its only the characters and a preview...so i had the settings kinda low.I think it took only 10 min...most fininished pieces with completet backgrounds take up to 2 hours...i got a fast computer.
So far i put in about 8-10 hours in it(hair takes the longest..seems i model and "grow" it myself ..still need to come up with a background and some detailing on Youko.
I would say about 5-10 more hours on the characters and 6+ at least for the background and it should be done :D
