Drosselmeyer is an AI bro.

So after finishing Princess Tutu I realized something. The ending has Duck (Ahiru) sleeping in a body of water by herself. A manly figure in the school’s uniform shows up in the reflection of the water later on and her eyes sparkle in happiness/excitement. It was unclear who this character was, but it really could either be Mytho or Fakir (Fakia). I figured it was Fakir, but after watching the ending of the series, (this is an image a little before the show ends):

(ignore the quality of the photo, I couldn’t find anything else) This show doesn’t really explain every possibilty with its ending and is quite ambiguous. But either way, after seeing this image, I thought: wait, that has to be Fakir at the ending, right? I don’t think Fakir is wearing his uniform in this, but regardless, I still think so. (SPOILERS) In the show, Fakir ends up being with Duck and Rue/Mytho leave to go back to the story. Just as Fakir promised in the show later on, he stays with Duck, as is seen here, and that could be one reason why Duck was so happy to see the reflection (that being, Fakir). Another reason I think Fakir is the one in the water’s reflection is because Duck bobs in the water of the ending and then sinks in the water after, which also happens in this scene.

Coincidence? Maybe, but I doubt it.

What do ya’ll think? Maybe people have already thought this, it’s been out since 2002. If this is the case though, that’s one clever ending (in both ways)!

:D Made some Princess Tutu fanart. Gave her a purple outfit! >w< My favorite anime for almost 14 years.

So, like.... 5 years later, it is done!

First of all, the redraw was  actually prompted by someone noticing that the water level on Duck’s leg was higher than it should have been. I can’t find their tag, so this’ll have to be unsourced, but... thank you to that person!

Overall, it didn’t shift too much, but one major change was the placement of the camera. Instead of the viewpoint being from a higher perspective, it’s now right at the level of Duck and Fakir’s faces. I think it gives a better perspective “equality” so I could capture both of their expressions to the same degree. 

The water is also directly lined up with the view so I didn’t need to worry about doing(ignoring) the distortion that comes with viewing a thing from a wobbley water surface. Also it creates a cleaner line between Duck and Fakir. (A better separator of their worlds) 

I feel that the second has much better details, but a couple things the first one did better would be, 1. Clearer poses. With extended limbs Duck in the first one strikes a better silhouette, and the perspective seems to be a more flattering angle for Fakir. 2. the lighter colors of Fakir which make it easier to see the details which are more obscured in the darker colors of the second picture. 

I like the softer look of Duck in the second one (she looks happier to me). Duck in the first looks more like she’s asleep, and the face is a little funny because I was trying to wrench the perspective of it more to the viewer, (even though the “camera” should be looking almost at the back of her head.)

The black lines also stand out harsher on Duck1, so changing the lines from black to a brown on the skin reeeeeeaaally helped for a softer look.

Again, I like the expression better in the second vs the first. The details of the hair are a bit lost, and birthmark/ muscles  don’t get to be as prominent in the softer lines and watery shading buuuuut.... like, now you can see the gills on the torso n stuff!

I drew each of the scales in the first drawing. I think it looks nice, but it took so long, and I admit I was panicking a little when I unintentionally started making the scales get smaller as I went along (yes, that was an accident) I used the spray tool for the second piece which took a LOT less time, I could also use it for an iridescent affect 

I think.... if I were to redo the picture I would highlight the lines on the second piece in green to make them standout more.

Finally, (kinda my favorite part) is the hands reaching out of the water. 

Originally, Duck and Fakir were going to mirror each other. gently reaching, almost touching, and creating ripples on the water surface. Emphasizing the water as a barrier between the two, with minimal breaching by Duck with her foot and hair. I felt it created a very bittersweet scene.
