BUY THIS ON THINGS AT SOCIETY6 HERE: society6.com/ashtoledo/Melanch…
used stock from the beautiful mirish.deviantart.com/ as reference
I used Adobe Illustrator and my Wacom tablet
I learned alot in this process, about colour and the extent of my vector prowess
I didn't use any meshes, someone asked about that so I thought I'd make that clear

I hope you don't mind I used this for an example of vectoring.
In my illustration class we had to post a vector image we like for inspiration. I posted a link to take them here. ^u^

Of course. I had to.
I wouldn't post something without credit if I knew who to give it to.
(At the time of that comment for the life of me I couldn't come up with the word "credit". That's why I said I gave them the link.)

do you like the new background?

It gives it a different feel then the original. More calm or the quiet before the storm feeling.

Super! The loose rendering serves the image well, enhancing the dreaminess. I like seeing that you learned a lot as well.

i just used alot of low-opacity shapes and gradient
i layered alot

uuuh, I see, aproximately how many layers did you use?? also I see you used quite a bit of blur, and if I may say so, you could possibly improve a little your technique by adding slightly more shading in her face, only a little bit more subtle

i didnt add any blur actually, i really just used alot of shapes to build up the shading, and a few of the shapes have gradients
