My submission for round 5 of RPGamer's OmniArt contest! The subject was anything having to do with weddings, from proposing through the honeymoon! I chose to have Flonne proposing to Laharl...
Now, this picture looks fairly crappy, especially the coloring. I was lazy as always, but there was the added benefit this time of both having Janus come to visit AND Hurricane Dennis knocking out power for 56 oh-so-wonderful hours, so unfortunately, the inking and coloring were very much a rush job... -_- I'd also intended on having a background this time, maybe a nice field or the inside of Laharl's throne room, but there was no time... ^^;;;; Not even time to smooth out the marker and pencil colors... ^^;;;;
BTW, Laharl's left eye is supposed to be twitching and the ever-sneaky Etna is shoving Laharl forward so he doesn't run away from the situation. I forgot to add in little "sound effects (action effects?) for that... ^^;;;;; Flonne, of course, is happily oblivious to this. ^-^ I'd actually originally intended to age the characters slightly for this picture, since they ARE pretty young (in demon and angel years), but I just decided to leave them as is...
Despite the horrible coloring, I do like Etna's pose and Laharl's face... ^^;;; Poor guy.
Done with Micron pens, Prismacolor markers and pencils, and white gel pen with slight Photoshop editting and adding of text and word bubbles.

That's actually how Flonne looks at the end of the game! =3 I won't say more as to not stick spoilers here... ^^;;;; There's a black leotard under her robe, too, but you can't see it with the angle...
Etna's my favorite part of the picture... =3 She's a very fun and sarcastic character!
Thanks for your comments!
Alright, you need to do more group pictures wherever you can. This is just far too good to just be a one-time thing, contest or not. :D
The characters are excellent, I love all of the poses, and despite what you say the coloring looks quite good! I think Laharl's cape could have come out just a little bit more even in overall color, but that can sometimes be the fault of the scanner.
Also, as a slight and negligible touch up, you may want to remove the black line that seperates the "hook" from the rest of the dialogue bubble for Etna. I think. I don't know, it's probably the most unimportant thing in the entire picture.
Now, do more pictures of the trio! Heck, if you could even manage backgrounds, it would probably be beyond compare. :o
I had a lot of fun doing a group pic! I definitely would like to do more of them! I hope one day to be able to manage backgrounds, too... ^^;;;;; And more Disgaea pics definitely sound like a good idea... ;)
My marker work definitely still needs work. I was low on time, so I didn't have a chance to run a smooth color over Laharl's cape and other rough areas in Photoshop... I wish I did... ^^;;;;
O_O I can't believe I forgot to remove that line in Etna's voice bubble! I never noticed it till you mentioned it...
Thanks a lot for your comments! ^-^
This is so cute, Nadia! I love it when you draw multiple characters interacting. I don't know much about Disgaea, but all the personalities come across really well here. They all look adorable, Etna in particular! I love everything about her pose, from her pigeon-toed feet to her curling tail ^_^ The coloring & details on her outfit and hair look great, too.
Does Flonne normally have those red accessories, or is she trying to look demon-like for Laharl? Awwww...
