Description


Round 11: Kenji Yokoshira
Task 6: Enjoyment

All My  OC-Training Works



… this might be the second time I've ever drawn Kenji smiling? X'D  First time this round, definitely!


I knew I would be late with this task, but not this late.   Sorry for the wait, partners!

I had the great honor of pairing with the amazing and legendary for the Enjoyment task. 
HERE ARE THEIR TASKS 


Here we have another scenario in which Kenji and Mimi find themselves in the company of Gen & friends.  My little prince is a lazy butt and enjoys doing nothing that requires energy.  Being pampered, having a spa day, eating good food and wine... huh, whaddya know: he actually knows how to the enjoy the little things in life!

Gen enjoys playing his flute, and Mimi loves to dance. Her dancing partners here are Gen's buddies, Eli and Al (very much inspired by this piece: Elihal - In Private (pt. 2) )

And the beautiful cushion Kenji is sitting on is taken from: Kenji (Art Trade OC-Training) by AlleycatCY !



I probably would've made something really gay if Mimi hadn't joined our team....
Gen is totally Kenji's type. and I will ship characters at every chance I get



Tried to do some neat scattered lighting under the tree, but that didn't work out so well... It's been hard to paint lately.

This is beautiful! Great colors and composition. The details on the pillows are also lovely, especially on the red one. It looks like a fun place to be and it’s nice to see Kenji finally smiling at something. After everything he’s been through, he deserves to relax!

Very nice!  It's like having a little celebration of sorts.  I like how Mimi is dancing with Eli and Al to Gen's music.


I can imagine the music sounding like this...

At least Kenji is enjoying something for once... in the previous pics he's always pouting or acting stuck-up.

Yeah, I thought so! I'm glad you like it
Wow, that's some mighty impressive flute playing in that song... Sounds like a fun jig to dance to!
Haha, agreed. It was nice to finally draw him happy.

Aw! This looks amazing! It's really nice to see Kenji smiling too.

I just absolutely love the coloring for this piece! It looks incredible! And the detail in the blanket that Kenji is laying on is lovely too.

Oh, but I just love the dancing that Eli, Al, and Mimi are doing in the background together. Seems to be a perfect, serene time. Who wouldn't love that?

and great. Now I ship it too.

I'll have you know that this woke me up like no cup of coffee ever did - this made my entire day, what a wonderful thing to wake up to and think about for the rest of the day! Thank you so very much for this lovely, sweet piece (and the hilarious addition!)

Kenji looks so relaxed, and he definitely comes across as someone who understands the finder simple things in life - good food, good weather, good music, good company. He's adorable when he smiles, and his relaxed pose truly suits him: he was truly made to be a prince and nothing else. As for Gen - you depicted him beautifully, with his reddish hair and broad pose! I'd planned something really gay too (I had an entire comic planned X'D) - I can't promise it, but maybe I'll actually draw it still. He looks handsome and at peace, and I love how you did the flute! Those hands... You managed to depict quite a lot of dynamics in a static pose, which I think is really impressive. Also - that scattered light It actually looks good and gives the piece a warm, almost wistful feeling.

Speaking of dynamics - Mimi looks so bright and spirited in your style! She definitely seems to look up to Elihal, who's nothing but happy to show her how to dance Holory style! Al, with his wild hair and happy expression, also looks adorable, and I'm really impressed with the sense of speed you gave him.


This is a lovely party - Gen and company would not say no to another party at Kenji's behest.


[EDIT: Also, that reference to Elihal's task - I'm just so so so so happy ]

I'm so very glad to hear that. ^^  Sorry for the belated replay, but you know how it is to hang on to a heart-warming comment for a bit before replying.  
Gen was such a great pleasure to paint, such a handsome man with lovely colors!   I enjoyed the challenge of his flute, as well.  I'm pretty proud of his hands, so thank you!   I didn't quite get the contrast I'd wanted with the lighting and it messed up the paper in a couple spots. X'D  But I'm glad you like how it turned out!  I'm just gonna keep on practicing
Kenji was a little hesitant to spending time with a child (though I was amused, as it is canon that he must befriend a little girl - Zuko's 10-year-old sister XD) - so having Eli and Al join in on the fun was a relief, and I think he'd find their dancing quite entertaining as well.   Little Mimi adds so much joy to the piece~

  Thanks again for pairing up, I had so much fun with the crossover!

Wow . . . he does actually look relaxed. How much wine has he had?


This is great, you can feel Mimi's sense of joy as she dances with Eli and Al and Gen looks like he's very happy to provide the music Awesome job!
