Description According to story from long ago, there once was a place where the suns lived. Every century, the ruler of the suns (who sheds light on the human world) will pass away, and a child borned on that day would be the new ruler.

Lately, the previous ruler had just passed away, but shockingly enough, there were two children born on that day. People see this as an evil omen, and measures would have to be taken.

Out of the 2 children, they took the one that had been given birth first, and send the other child to the moon, a place forbidden for any suns to enter so that the child would live a miserable life.

The new ruler, a young girl, was given all the care and attention she wanted, living the life of a princess. The only thing denied of her was a room with a mysterious mirror. Out of curiosity, the young ruler ventured into the room one day and saw the other child that was abandoned on the other side of the mirror. When the attendants come in, the young ruler's only question was: "Who is she?"

---------------------------------------

Due to the reason that internet connections here is really slow, I guess I have to submit a really small file of the picture or it will take hours @.@

Done with: Photoshop CS3, mouse and keypad

Inspired by: Sleeping Sun

Edit: I slightly made Sun's eyes more....stand out? o.O and slightly change the shadows in her hand to look like she have knuckles....hope it looks better now. And I upload it as a bigger file*

WOW. Very nice. Considering you did this with a mouse?! (holycrap) Did you sketch it out before hand or was this done completely digitally?

baiwuzhi In reply to sirenlovesyou [2008-08-26 11:29:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I colored it with a mouse ^^ I wish I could do it fully digitally, but no, I draw it out with hand first and scan in, then color ^^

Ok, thats what I do too *lacking a tablet and all* lol~ My only critique is the hands seem a bit wonky, eh? It might be the sahding or the overall shape. I'd suggest coloring in the knuckle part of your hand, that would give the hand a less like puffy 2 D shape :] It is very pretty though. Its always nice to see another Vietnamese artist

baiwuzhi In reply to sirenlovesyou [2008-08-26 13:16:15 +0000 UTC]

lol my tablet died T^T I seriously need to get a new one xD Yeah, the hand looks kinda odd now that you say it x__x Should re-work it

and I'm a Malaysian artist, not Vietnamese, close to Vietnam though xD

Thanks anyways and glad you like the pic ^^

I actually agree with the others suggestion on the sun child's eyes.. They look a bit blurry to me. Everything else looks perfect.

Hey there! Karmi-Sempai here!

Wonderful blending here. I love the feel of the atmosphere and the place looks so realistic and ethnic! I also like the dark tones you added here.

My only comment is the blond girl's eyes. They look like they need a bit more depth compared to the rest of the picture.

WhiteRaja In reply to baiwuzhi [2008-08-02 05:31:09 +0000 UTC]

I'm kinda neutral on that matter. I do love Tarja's singing, but she was a little wild on tour.

baiwuzhi In reply to WhiteRaja [2008-08-04 08:12:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I heard a lot of people said that she likes to come late to practices and so forth.

The new singer is okay, but she definitely cannot sing the old songs. Last time she sang Nemo, and it seriously doesn't sound that good, especially at the last part. She's straining her voice already .___.

Hmm....that's true, the rug is kinda off. >.<;;

I was hoping people would critique upon the coloring, then maybe I could still change it

Azayakachan In reply to baiwuzhi [2008-07-25 17:20:29 +0000 UTC]

I'm pretty satisfied with the coloring. I guess you could darken some shadows on the girls clothing. Only in the very darkest spots, though. That would make it even more realistic :3
