Akane - Brilliant Red
Kiyoko - Pure Child

This is KiKi 777352's OC Scarlett and my OC Akane Kiyoko as best friends ;D
This is for her challenge: 'Sketch, Color, Neko!'

Akane's design came from multiple things I was looking at.
[Shirt design ref]
[hair design ref]
[gloves design ref]
And I used these two picture for reference on the flower border:
[big flower ref]
[mini flowers ref]
Some details in the picture that may or may not be obvious are that they are holding kitty versions of each-other, Scarlett has a half-star necklace that says 'B' and Akane has a half-star necklace that says 'F' so together it is 'BF' [a.k.a. Best Friends], and Akane is speaking in Japanese dialogue and Scarlett is also speaking in Japanese dialogue.

oh. and Scarlett is the one in the back left and Akane is the one in the front right.
Ummmmmmm... and my scanner makes everything so light and eats the details, so I used my inking pens on the sketch, scanned it, made the lineart cleaner and darker in PhotoFiltre, printed it out, colored it with regular colored pencils [cuz that's all i have], scanned it again, and made it darker once more in PhotoFiltre.
I hope that's alright. cuz otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the image clearly ಡ_ಡ
and IPE was used to re-size the picture for theOtaku's size requirements.
Added water-mark in PhotoFiltre to fight off art thieves.

Both are original poses and what-not. And Akane is my original character sooooooooooo *fights off art thieves*
And the last thing i have to say is that i guessed what Scarlett's whole outfit would look like from KiKi-chan's newest picture and from her other picture of Scarlett. And then I changed the belt to instead of having a fish, to saying 'MEOW~'.
I hope you like it KiKi 777352! :'D

AND EVERYTHING IN THIS PIC THAT LOOKS PINK IS RED! lol. no pink. except the blush in the cheeks and skin.

*edit* and omg. Freaky thing here. I made my entry yesterday and FFNaru134 made hers today. and we haven't seen each others yet. but we both drew Scarlett with a peace sign!
