Miaka and Tamahome from the Nostalgia Collection

Series:Fushigi Yugi
Created: 2002
Media: Derwent Pencil and Marker

Sorry for the crappy titles LOL, I'm posting a bunch at a time and it's way past my bedtime, so brain is mushy-gushy.

This is another re-creation of a Watase Yuu piece. Honestly looking back on it, Watase Yuu must have been my biggest influence back when I was just exploring new media (especially Derwents). And not a bad mentor at all, since I still love her style to date (though I'm not as big of a fan of the new FY series Genbu Kaiden, I still enjoy it). I have a ton of old artworks from her series that never made my current DA gallery, so I'm happy to be re-posting them. Go Watase-sensei!

What is the Nostalgia Collection?
The "Nostalgia Collection" is my cheesy name given to a series of artworks that were done before I came to DeviantART. I used to have posted many artworks in the past on another art site called Media Miner, and have not yet re-posted them here.

I am re-posting my old artwork because I would like my DA account to showcase everything done in past and present. I don't want to look back on old works as inferior to current stuff, but rather that everything is a part of a constant progression. Also, many of these artworks have been sold in the past, and their digital presence is how I remember them.
