Hi all!
Here's an image created by former Tatsunoko artist Roberto Ferrari. While not truly a "romance" picture, it's a nice enough image of Ken and Jun that it seemed to me that it would fit in this thread.

Hi all!
Roberto Ferrari had a site briefly back in 2006, when he had moved back to his native Italy, but he took it down after about 6 months. I think he's gone back to Japan now, and is working for Square Enix.

Great pics, Springie, LB, and Maddy ... and, James ... wow, thanks for that lovely one you sent ... that's one heck of an artist! Maddy, I also liked a lot the last one you sent ... emotions are so clearly pictured!
I thought I maybe could put the Owly one I've drawn some time ago for CD! It might fit in here too!
I agree, Gatchamarie...CD needs her Owl, too! And Maddy, I love your additions...that last pic is by Phantom G- one of my fav artists. I've never seen that first pic before...but I LOVE it!!

The second pic looks like it's from Gatch II, episode 29. He's cuddling her to keep her from freezing to death, but it is one of their "shippier" moments!

What great pictures! I love Springie's Swan and Eagle... 
and LB's Condor pic makde me laugh! 
And James, I love that Ken and Jun picture! It's been my computer desktop of over a year... maybe two years... I can't recall.
Gatchamarie, you did a wonderful drawing of the Owl! I'm sure CD loves it, and would be willing to soothe his broken heart.

I was wondering about posting those Valentine cards for you Springie, but was not really sue you would want me to. I am glad you did it yourself.

Anytime you want to post something of mine, feel free, baybee! I always feel a little awkward posting my own stuff...is that weird?

Great Valentine cards, Springie ... it's nice to see them again! I also like the one you sent, CD ... where the Eagle and the Swan are involved I'm always happy!
Yesterday, I squeezed a little time out of my agenda and have quickly drawn the following. It doesn't do Ken justice but it's the Eagle asking if someone (especially from the Swannies) want to be his valentine this year!

To tell the truth, if I don't find time to draw it's because I'm creating more new cake designs to a longer list of clients ... that also makes me artistically happy (even if my work is far from professional)!

I always love to see more art!You are welcome Gatchamarie, I know I am always on the look out for new sites with pictures and new fanfics being written. I just wish I could read some of those fics that are written on those sites. When I try translating them the stories tend to get very confusing because so many words do not translate very well.
I wasn't sure I could post the links here,but thanks CD for listing them. No problem Springie, happy to help out.

And yes ... they do tend to lose most of their true meaning when trying to translate. Different languages have different sentence structures and tenses and tend to have different or more meanings for one single word. It's almost impossible to translate only the words, one by one, to make sense out of a whole sentence or phrase. And I do get more intrigued with foreign scriptures, especially Japanese as they smell of something original when it comes to anime!

What a great pic to kick start this year's Valentine's day.
Unfortunately, I am not an artist (I totally suck at drawing. 
) so I guess I will just share some romantic pics of the Eagle and the Swan that I found on the net.
All the other below images are made by my favorite Japanese artist with a very interesting name, Ha-ha

There is also this Gatch comic with a Valentine's day theme. I can't read Japanese characters, but I guess that Jun wanted to give a box of chocolate to her dream guy (who else, the Eagle, of course, ) , unfortunately the God Phoenix later went into Firebird mode, and this would definitely melt Jun's chocolate, oh no, Poor Jun!

In my country, it is customary to give flowers, chocolate, and dolls to your female partners, and I really think the below Gatch dolls will be perfect for a true Gatch Valentine's experience.
Oh, I would LOVE to have this Eagle's doll to snuggle with on the bed every night.

Saturn, these are all wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing them with us! Much as I love the swoony Ken and Jun pictures, I think my favorites are the dolls! That larger rag doll of Ken in civvies and Birdstyle is adorable! It reminds me of Raggedy Andy, but less cartoony.
And did you notice that this Berg Katse is ready to kiss you?

OMG, Saturn, these are great pictures! And I so like the art of Ha-Ha! The third picture from the beginning is also one of my favorites ... that of Jun and Ken in their respective stage costume! Needless to say ... your animations are great and timeless! LOL I also so wish my DH would give me one of those dolls for Valentine! But that's just a wish! He does not share my same Gatch love unfortunately and he already told me that my rose will be delivered late to me this year ... the one he wanted to pick from our front yard has not yet blossomed!!!!! So romantic isn't he?! ... but then his surprises arrive when I'm least expectiing them and, when they do arrive, they come at full blast!
A happy Valentine's Day to you too, Saturn, and to all my friends on this site! And also a very happy Chinese New Year! Here, at Malta, on February 14th we will be celebrating the peak of our carnival which has commenced today, having a spread of five days!

Welcome all the new members in this board,Happy Chinese New Year Saturn and everyone who is celebrating. My class had a small celebration (combined with our other February Celebrations) on Friday. This year here in Canada we have Groundhog Day, Flag Day, Valentines Day, Family Day, Chinese New Year and the 100th day of school all celebrated within two weeks. We were also having our Olymipic Ceremonies ... My grade one class gets to represent Estonia next week in our Olympic Playday.
Completely off-thread, but since you are Canadian, CD, I just want to extend my congratulations on a bloody fantastic opening ceremony. I watched it twice and was just as much in awe the second time around! It was just beautiful!
Thank you Green I was very proud of what I saw as well. It made me happy to know I am Canadian and that the world is watching and Celebrating with us. I just wish we were getting as much snow here in Canada as they are getting in the States right now.
