....

Words cannot describe my first reaction to this picture. And no, it's not that I am against these types of drawings nor am I against these pairings.

The first thing that grabbed my eye was the coloring. It is so masterfully done. I do believe this is the first time I have seen the wispy, visual effect of the coloring. It blew me away, even before the rest of the picture loaded. Much of the colors blend naturally and provide texture to the drawing. I'm sure that the shading was most certainly excessively time-consuming, but it was time well invested.

SearchMan has that look in his eyes--perhaps of shock or terror, but that seems natural for the situation at hand. That also adds depth to the situation pictured.

All in all, this is quite possibly the best of your work that I have seen yet.

That was absouletly beautiful. I loved how the colors seemed to go together. I also loved how the actual drawing was drawn. It was drawn so well that it also helped with the coloring. A picture cannot be at it's best unless all your effort is into making it the best. I absolutely envy your talent. I love how the eyes show alot of emotions. I also love how the body position is just right; it isn't too force but it seems more natural and relaxed. The light seems to be shining in some weird directions though. on searchman's body, where the black is. But I like how it has mainly one light source. It makes it look more... real? I see that the aura brings the picture together too. How did you do the aura? It looks so well done? I can't wait to see your next picture!

Wow now that is shounen ai alright. Nice (if not alittle weird) Planty.

Woah. That is extremely well done. Laika's hair is excellent. Searchman looks rather shocked that his operator is suddenly on top of him.. Laika's coat kind of reminds me of what happens to Ganondorf when he turns to stone in Wind Waker. He gets bigger and bigger as you go farther down. Anyway, Great job as usual Planty!

:! My god. You made Lan scary looking. Wow. I didnt think anyone could pull it off. Leave it to Plantman. The coloring is spectacular and his expression is prefect. Keep up the good work.

...whoooa. Evil, and yet still retains that innately Nettoesque stupid look. :D

Which is not to degrade the quality of this drawing in any way, mind you. >> Freaky awesome coloring and art in general. Lighting matches the mood perfectly, and done very well. \o/

YEAH!! Netto changes to the dark side!!
He has this evil resilient look, as if he became the worst anyone can face (he probably is in the first place). 10/10!!

And again you complete something that makes me fall back in my chair in wonder.

The same visual effects are in place, and it allows for such a dark overtone to the entire picture. For some reason, his eyes make him out to be more furious than evil, but I guess in that context those can be interchanged, since they seem to go hand-in-hand...

...I am scared. Completely and utterly scared.

This is quite a terrifying pic of Evil Netto, although for some reason it seems a bit reserved in its Ebil, as though it's a normal Netto gone a little bonkers. XD I guess it's better than going all-out and giving him an overly evil and insane look and then topping it off with an over-the-top Hellsing red/black color scheme. (Forgive my hypocrisy as I go against my own suggestion, Neko <__<)

Still, it'd be interesting to see this one in one of those endearing and appealingly insane ear-to-ear grins. To add even more of an intimidating look to this, I think it'd be cool to add some black shading under the eyes. Overall, an extremely well-done pic that will easily terrify my friends.

Simply: AMAZING. Your drawings, lines and coloring are so beautiful. I love it!

. Evil Netto is so awesome. You should draw him again when you get the chance :D.
. The Raika and Searchman pictures are also amazing. Poor Searchman looks like he is going to have a heartattack....if he had a heart o.o'
. Colonel and Meddi, what a cute pairing! I love the tension in that one.
. And finally the Plantman and Anetta. Lovely. I love how you colored it, especially Plantman's eyes and Anetta's cheeks. Agreed there should be more Anetta fanart. :D

WIP of that other Laika Sketch I posted. Again, is up to personal interpretation if you consider this shounen ai or just Searchman guarding his Operator. Shall color laters.

Shounen ai would mean love between two male characters. The pictures are inked and colored in Painter and Photoshop at my discression I mix both if needed XD
