Kuroko no Basuke : Kimi no Kage da

First, I'll start off with how amazing I think this piece is! I really love how you incorporated how Kuroko is the "shadow" while Taiga is "light" in this work and drew the characters so similarly to the anime! However, you could make the shadow curve a little more off of Taiga's head and the angle of the light at the top right corner can make the shadow's angle slightly higher so it doesn't make the shadow so obvious as to cover just enough to the tip of Kuroko's hair but I like how you had the light curve above Taiga's shoulder to slightly touch Kuroko's face and create that nice faint gleam in his eyes. Also, the body shapes of both Taiga and Kuroko are nicely drawn with well blended colors, but the right arm on Kuroko is noticeably bigger then his other arm. Even if his arm is angled in that position, it shouldn't have that much difference with his other arm. And since Kuroko and Taiga are back to back as shown with their arms together and all, it's a little weird to me how Kuroko's hair stops and bends at Taiga's shoulder because in proportion to his arm, that's where his shoulder should be, but his hair is there also which takes a little out of the 3d effect, but just slightly. But overall, this artwork was really beautiful to see! The beads of sweat dripping down Taiga's hair and the slight curve on Kuroko's mouth with his hand wiping off the sweat really brings the intensity of the game so this really was a fantastic work of art! You should be proud to have such a great birthday present for yourself! lol <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
