Beast Master I'm A Believer! [vector]

Woohoo, I'm on a roll! I've been reading a lot of manga lately (especially shoujo and mature) and stumbled across this image one day: image. It's the cover of one of the chapters. I must say it's one of the cutest manga I've ever read and I adore this couple! You should give this manga a chance, you won't be sorry ;)

Anyway, back to the vector. It took a while because the outlines weren't very clear in the original image and I had to invent some. The hair of Leo (the guy) was difficult to do because I couldn't see the outlines and had to make them up. I hope the shading doesn't look off, I tried using gradients this time and I think they look nice - I love Yuiko (the girl)'s hair! <3 About the difference in skin color: Yuiko doesn't spend too much time in the sunlight and is slightly blond, while Leo has spent a lot of time in Africa.

I chose to leave out textures this time, I kind of wanted to have a second shape layers-only vector in my career as a vector artist XD Sounds like a lame excuse but the only raster layer I used was the signature (which isn't bubbly this time!) I went for a sunny, light and happy background because they look just so happy together!

I'd also like to announce (kind of a big word...) that I won't be doing vectors from popular series for a while. There are a lot of great less-known series out there and I want to spread the love for them! (n_n)-b Most of them will be from manga scans so cross your fingers and hope I'll do a vector from a series you like lol

Please credit me if you use this vector!
