Yeah, especially if you want to even attempt to play with the line weights. XD Aww, thanks! Yeah, I was going for bright colors. For her hair I was going back and forth between purple and blonde/yellow and considering she's mostly yellow, went with purple hair and the bright yellow dress.
I was trying to go along with her color scheme as best as I could, even using the color picker for the scarf in particular. Was fun to color again since it's been so long since I've colored anything.

And also, Beau looks SOOO frickin' adorbs!! <333 I can totally picture him like that! Though those eyes are seriously reminding me a guy trying to be all seductive. XD
Makes sense! The purple does stand out more than the blonde probably would (though there's always different shades of colors to use, too). I think it looks nice with what you decided on, though. Animal Crossing
IS a very colorful and vibrant game, after all!
Haha, yeah, I was trying to go along with parts of her animal design to influence the gijinka form, too, so I know what you mean. The scarf definitely looks a lot like hers, though. And it really sets the outfit off with well with those colors all together.
Ahhh, thank you! The whole seductive look was pretty much an accident, but I didn't want to keep messing with his face and it was kind of hard to give him a really "lazy-eyed" look in human form. Instead, I'll just headcanon that he tries to hit on the gals and fails pretty miserably with bad, bad pick-up lines and somehow always getting onto the subject of food... Hehe. Glad you liked him, though!
----------------------------------
And so I don't do a post merge thing here, I'm just going to also use this post to put my finished work that I posted the linework for earlier today:
Fakiru Week 2014 - [Day 1] -
Green
"What are you doing, mor————why are you staring like that?"
"Fakir… did you know that you have reeeeally pretty eyes?"

! I'm so ridiculously happy with how it turned out! I ended up using two different palettes to color it, but I like the mix of the two and I think it really worked well for the overall color scheme! And the only really bright "green" thing in the entire picture is his eyes, which is what I based the theme here on. It took me ages both to do the lineart and to color it, but it was a day/evening well spent! All in all, I'd say it's not bad for the first theme. Six more to go. I hope inspiration sticks with me to get them done at least before the end of the year.
Hope you guys like it~ I'm quite proud of it. I haven't drawn my OTP in a long time, so it feels good to work with them again. Ahh, nothing makes me happier. <3
