Moulin Rouge - GaaraSaku

HA! HA! HA! I was cracking up just imagining Gaara singing along in this fantastic film, haha. I really think it's funny to how well the picture came out. I was a little frustrated when I had to reshape Gaara's mouth for the last fifteen minutes, until finally...it's there! And his goddamn hair...grr...anyway, the scenery was quite easy to do, but the pose of them dancing was extremely difficult to create. I tried a couple stances on my drawing book before I drew it self-handedly on the computer.

This drawing took me over three hours to do because of researching for the outfit Satine (Nicole Kidman) wore and Christian's (Ewan McGregor) tux was easy to find, but I decided to make Gaara wear maroon since black had only a limited set of shades.

Oh, if some of you are wondering why I nearly created a movie poster, uh, well this IS a movie poster for 's new contest. The movie Moulin Rouge! is fabulous, one of my all time favorite movies, even if I didn't mention it in my profile (ran out of room). If some of you have no idea what's it about, here's a summary I found on amazon.com:

'A poet falls for a beautiful courtesan whom a jealous duke covets in this stylish musical, with music drawn from familiar 20th century sources.' Watch it, believe me, it's a great musical. Well to the critics, it's a movie you either love or hate, ha. Thank you for viewing!
