Comments: First off, I want to say, "Eat that you stupid priest!!! How do you like gay people now?!" I was a little irked over the wedding of my cousin because the priest made a remark about "Adam and Steve" and that there shouldn't be an Adam and Steve but an Adam and Eve. Grrr, I hate close-minded people! Since then I wanted to draw a pictured of two people of the same sex getting hitched, and I finally did it! But that's only half the reason why I did this image. I've been thinking of another comic concept, possibly for an online comic. Gidget, or Noriko, and Junko here were originally characters I had made and planned to use for a comic Twilight. Well, the story line of that was kind of solid, but a lot of what it required from me I couldn't do. So for a long time I've been trying to use the characters with a new plot, and I think I've got something. I don't want to spoil anything, so I can't tell you any more of that. However, I did try a new coloring technique on this. I was originally planning to do another cell style shaded image, but I found a tutorial this morning and thought I'd try it out. I do like the results I have to say. I think it turned out pretty well; I don't want to say I got a marker effect with it, but I'm hoping that that's what it looks like from the rest of you. And yes, that is a priest in the background wearing sunglasses. *shrugs* I don't know, he's either blind or an Elvis impersonator.
