Arigatoumina

All done!  ^__^

I kept it focused on four anime - Inuyasha, Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, and Yu Yu Hakusho, though IY and YYH get most of the screentime.

You can download the video from my site:
arigatomina.com/downloads/file…

If you download it, it's an xvid encode, so if you have trouble viewing the video in Windows Media Player, post or email me and I'll set you up with the proper filter.

Watch it.  Then let me know what to fix for my next fan-animated vid.  I'm hoping to defile a lot more bishies in the future.  ^.~

--Update--

I'm done with the YYH section~!  ^__^

I'll still have shots and scenes of Kurama and Hiei in the mixed part of the vid, but the two 'story' sections - YYH and IY - are officially done.  Now I just have to plan out how I want to work with the instruments and repeated chorus for the last 40 seconds or so.  Without lyrics to follow, I can go right to the smut and forgo most of the 'lead-in' footage.  I'm hoping to toss in an action scene or two from the anime as well (redrawn to match the 'animation style' of the rest of the footage, and reanimated).  It'll fit the harder guitar riffs and serve as backer for more 'stationary' smut pics.  

I'm definitely using Rurouni Kenshin as one of the anime - with a 'battousai' Kenshin as the 'dark side' aspect.  I'd like to use a 'Kyuubi' Naruto and have some Narusasu in there, but I haven't done any videos for that pairing, so I don't have much to go by.  It doesn't help that I can't find any NarutoxSasuke djs or anything for inspiration.  Hard trying to make a 'canon-uke' into a seme.  >.<

So...any requests for scenes of YYH, IY, RK, and Naruto, put them in now.  I've had someone (Candid ) ask for ningen Kurama and Hiei kissing, but the rest is up in the air.  I can toss almost anything into the last section of the video, so it doesn't matter if you like angst or sap - just let me know what sort of scene, and which characters.

--Old--

I've definitely settled on a song, and made a few other decisions that should let me complete the video without having to stop for weeks wondering 'where do I go from here'.

I'm not going to have explicit content - that is, I've never drawn genitalia and I'm not going to start with this video.  I know, I'm a wimp, but I prefer to see just about everything *but* the explicit bits.  So...lots of snuggling/suggestive positions, and no worry on who's parts are 'bigger'.  

I'm done with the Inuyasha section.  I'll probably do some more pics of the two of them to blend their section into the rest of the video, but I like the way the 'pounce and claim' scene works with the music.  It could stand alone as a mini-vid if I wanted it to.

Now...deciding the other pairings.  The song is a very overdone song, I feel bad even naming it, but it works so well with dark yaoi content, especially dark demon yaoi.  It's 'Haunted' by Evanescence.  There, I said it.  And I can promise there are no other amvs to this song anything like mine - I plan to draw every frame in this video, that'll guarantee it's original.  As of now, I have a minute complete, so there's 2.5 minutes to go.

Why I'm posting this?  Well, I wanted to share with the people who've responded to my Inuyasha screencaps from this vid - if you want to see the IY section, email me and I'll send it as a small wmv.  If you don't have a large enough email account, I'll find another way to get it to you.  I'm not going to officially upload it anywhere till I've finished the other sections.

As for that, I'm definitely doing a section in the beginning with Kurama (human version competing with youko version) and Hiei.  I'm not sure what I want to do with the rest of the video.  I'm considering short sections of different pairings mixed in with the larger IY and YYH parts - like matching the mood with various couples in similar scenes (with the coloring of the shots and the visuals being what connects them all).

The theme is dark, very light violence, love/obsession/need - either unrequited or combined with pain/trials.  And the characters will be as close to the anime as I can get them.  If I use game characters like Sephiroth and Vincent (who would fit *great* with the dark, slightly NCS theme), I'd have trouble keeping them recognizable - not many shots of Vincent in the game.

I'm very interested in pairing suggestions, scenes you'd like to see in a dark romance scene - positions you've seen in het anime that you'd wished were yaoi - anything you think might work here.  An example - in Angel Sanctuary there's a scene where Setsuna catches Sarah from behind and her head tilts back, her clothing and hair trailing a bit as he pulls her close - I'd love to see that with a pairing like Sano and Kenshin, or Heero and Duo (I like the hair, so it would need to be someone with long hair being swept into the embrace).

I need ideas.  ^__^

Right now I'm wanting to put Sano and Kenshin in the vid somewhere, a dark 'battousai' Kenshin as well as some softer/sadder vulnerable Kenshin.  I've also considered having Vegeta in there, though it would be one of the violent short sections.

I'm looking for recognizable/popular characters.  I'll end up slipping my favorite unknowns in there (Tasuki/Chichiri, Jin/Touya, etc), but I'm sort of lost on who's big right now.  ^_^;  Anyone kept up with the gossip in the yaoi groups?

I'm currently working on a multi-piece art project at home, but I'm looking for individual pics to do at work as a break from that.  Namely pairings or scenes from various anime.  Any requests or suggestions?  I don't do het pairings, but I'm open to shoujo ai or shonen ai (or yaoi, but no explicit yuri).

Right now I'm considering a Mukuro/Shizuru pic (YYH) after seeing Candid Ishida's latest Mukuro pic.  But I'd rather do a pairing where I know someone besides me is interested in it.  I have weird tastes.  

/ no Kurama-Hiei pics.  I'm planning to do something with them for my next project. This is a request for variety.

Crossover pairings are welcome, just pick the characters, the 'dominant' (if there is one), and the level of explicitness (friends, romantic, lusty, etc).

There are a lot of anime characters I'd enjoy drawing.  Settling on one is the tough part.  I'd actually enjoy trying my hand at more female characters, but I don't know who to draw.

Any requests/suggestions?  Anime I haven't listed may be possible - I'd have to look into it.

Hm, not really sure how much I'd browse this site since it took me a good 5 hrs just to find the yyh pics.  ^_^;;  But I might as well give it a shot.

I'm an old anime fan, who spends most of her time making anime music videos (AMVs) and writing fanfiction.  Most everything I've done is yaoi or shonen ai, or at the very least - bishonen oriented.  I'm better at writing, but editing has been addictive for me.  Most of my amvs can be found on my website, or on my account at the org - (that being www.animemusicvideos.org/membe… ).

I don't really watch that wide a variety of anime.  Mostly I'm in it for the bishonen and with the exception of Magic Knight Rayearth and Sailor Moon, all I watch are bishonen.  Some of my favorite anime are the ones I've worked with in fiction, vids, or my poor excuse for pics - Yu Yu Hakusho, Gundam Wing, Final Fantasy 7, Dragonball Z, Earthian, Sorcerer Hunters, Psychic Force, Twin Signal, Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Yami no Matsuei, and many more.  Pretty much anything that involves pretty bishonen and a nice bit of action will hold my attention.  ^_^;

I'm a fangirl, specifically a yaoi fangirl, though I prefer shonen ai when it comes to anime or art - I like to leave the explicit content for fiction where the visual is left to the reader.  This means I rarely go for hentai, just the 'tamer' doujinshis.  My favorite artist is from the YYH fandom, Arina Toshimi.  I adore how 'real' her depiction is - they look like the anime characters to such an extent she might as well have known Toriyama personally.

As for this site - I'm mostly here to look for fanart rather than original art, but anything bishonen or shonen ai tends to catch my attention.  I doubt I'd have anything to add as far as fanart goes.  I've done quite a few, but after looking at some of the lovely pics up here, I'll leave those for my site and mediaminer.  They'd stand out like a sore thumb here.  ^ ^;;
