Simon x Nia
Simon and Nia from Gurren Lagann... Uuugh, got carried away again. I'm so hungry and tired :I
Felt like giving the semirealism treatment to these two after stumbling upon a really cute doujinshi. I thought I could never pull off Simon with this style, but he was actually pretty easy.
Photoshop 7.
