Description you've seen your paradise, but now the flowers won't bloom.

more of a keep in shape piece. i have tons of work done, but i can't upload them, cause they're for release packs for sweetDNA.org and a few others ;D

here's a sneak preview of what to expect in the future. have fun. im going to sleep.

Update
Well, looks like none of you have seen the original stock photo which has inspired the pose for this. I used this stock photo [link] as reference for the figure. I have been looking forever for the person in the photo to give credits, and i've finally found her today, after looking at another vector piece which used the same stock photo.

Amazing, simple but yet so beautiful. I love the colors, they are so light, and dare I even go as far to say dull, but they are dull in a good way. It really works perfectly for this picture, esspecially for the message. Beautifull done. +fav

"when i am rich i wall buy all the axii stuff dad!!"

thatΒ΄s what the small one said to the big guys when he was small. but trust him. somedays he will grow up and earn enough money to get a ticket over the big sea to visit the strange land and buy everything with the axii logo.

oh axii. i made a wallpaper out of this.

[link]

know i need the setup. but thatΒ΄s my game. and i love it.

awesome how the kimono plays with the cream. itΒ΄s wonderful. great great one. really. you wake my heart with this axii

B2A [2003-09-24 12:35:41 +0000 UTC]

ok my two cents: this would look absolutely perfect if the outline of her right shoulder was consistent with the outline on the rest of her body. and the left strap on isnt outlined like the rest of her dress. other than that this is really pretty. i absolutely love the cherry blossom pattern in the background and on her dress.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

axii In reply to B2A [2003-09-24 13:47:34 +0000 UTC]

the reason for the uneven outlines, is because at first, the background was a wall, with the current background hung there as a "painting" of sorts, with lighting and perspective. in the end, i scrapped the entire thing, and decided to go with my usual "flat" style. thanks for the constructive crit. it's been ages since i got one.

hermik [2003-09-24 11:52:56 +0000 UTC]

hair and arms look a little jaggy, the boxes in the lower left of the background don't look good. The expression is carried very well, though the iris's seem a little large, even vor anime.

axii In reply to hermik [2003-09-24 13:45:05 +0000 UTC]

this is made for print the larger image has tons of smooth fine lines, which got lost when I resized it, causing the jagginess. is the iris large? i never realised myself.

I absolutely love your style. This is wicked design, the soft colors use, wow. Brilliant everything is just, nice. Well done. However, a slight qualm, her right shoulder outline seems abit thick? Or maybe thats just me. Anyways, great work as always, cant wait to see more.
