5-year reunion (Lilly's path). Group shot.

I started working on a group shot - something like a 5-year reunion post-Lilly's story. It's around a park bench somewhere near Yamaku - perhaps in the park near town. All six main-story girls are present (Misha by proxy, of course) as well as Hisao.

You'll have to forgive the roughness. I was focusing on the composition and arrangement of the characters more than the actual finished presentation (it's drawn using Adobe Flash CS5 vector graphics - which are great for adjusting sketches but dog-awful for doing finish work.

I imagined that in the 5 years since graduation, Misha is earning her doctorate in sign language as well as brail along with early-childhood development and psychiatric studies. Shizune is still working toward a degree in Business Science - she also volunteers at a nearby outreach for disabled citizens. Rin and Emi are living together in the city in a studio apartment where Rin is ever-producing gallery-quality work. Emi is working at a nearby High School as a teacher's assistant after earning a degree in nutrition and physical education - she plans to apply for work at Yamaku as a physical education teacher, once she earns her certificate. Hanako spent the first two years after Yamaku travelling the world and has returned to Japan to attend culinary school where she's excelling. Lilly is taking a sabbatical from university to do some world travel of her own (with Hisao) as she continues immersing herself in English literature. Hisao has recently started working as an intern at a hospital while he pursues a doctorate of physical sciences and biology. He's also pocketing a tiny black box with a ring he plans to offer Lilly when he proposes to her after the fireworks at the Yamaku Festival later that night.

It occurs to me somehow, that I haven't drawn toes in... years. I'm out of foot practice... or toe practice, rather.

He's crossing his eyes and has bunny ears courtesy of Misha, too, in-case that slipped by in your laughter.

Should I add in things like purses/handbags for a couple of the girls, y'think? I figure Shizune, Misha and Lilly would carry something like that while Hanako might even have a small satchel in which to keep a few books. Rin never seemed the type to carry anything like that, and neither did Emi, though.

It looks like they're posing for a photo. Who's behind the camera? Hideaki?

Interesting picture, I was going to comment about Lily's feet, but Im assuming you already noticed since you made that foot comment.

Looks pretty nice, I'd only mention Misha's lips as being a bit too big, but otherwise it looks pretty cool

That's her teeth, silly. Like I said, vector graphics suck for details.

I hadn't really thought of it, but I'd imagine it's unlikely to be Yuuko as she'd probably have moved on by then, and Akira probably wouldn't be able to get away from work, so Hideaki seems plausible. For some odd reason, though, I kinda imagined Kenji taking the picture - or at least operating it on the tripod since he probably wouldn't have any idea what those 7 blobs were from that distance.

And yeah, I need to review feet. I haven't drawn anything barefoot in a surprisingly long time.

There's something about Hanako's face that makes me laugh.

I drew this before I even started writing the fan-fiction. This was the chicken egg that hatched that idea, actually.

Thinking on it now, you're probably right.

Hanako spent the first two years after Yamaku travelling the world and has returned to Japan to attend culinary school where she's excelling.
"Hey, good-looking, what's cooking? Oh, it's you..."

For some reason, Hisao reminds me of Yuichi Aizawa. :P
