Description
Balaa and Tau find peace on a moonlit night.This picture took me quitttee a while to do and the background I must say was a good challenge for me. All in all I would say this picture turned out rather well. I was going to add a few other things such as more foliage in the front, fireflies, more detail in the rock, etc, but since I haven't been feeling well I decided to leave it as is before I ruin it .

The hair on 'Balaa' looks horrible, sorry. She'd look a TON better without it.

You really are good at capturing that Lion King style ain'tcha? Heh heh heh. The use of the colors, and the background fit well with the characters. I always liked that style for some reason. You've got a nice gallery goin' man, keep it up! ^^

This scene is simply breathtaking, I find it incredible the influence The Lion King has left on artists such as yourself. I don't do much LK fanart, but I certainly get amazed at how good some of the art is!
You should be proud of yourself, this is a spectacular piece!

Holy crap! 24 layers?!?! Wow! And the time you spent on it. That's amazing! I really like the moon in the background. The colors are great as well. You were right not to add the extra details in the rocks, fireflies, and so on. It'd look too busy and take away from the lions. Simply beautiful!

Wow....how beautiful! I almost feel like I'm there when I look at this...it's as if I could feel the mist of the waterfall and hear the soft chirping of crickets. This picture gives me a very calm feeling; like I could just let all of troubles be washed away by the moonlight.

Well done. The effort was worth it!

Absolutely beautiful. I couldn't wait to see this pic when you first told me about it ^_^! It turned out so pretty. And I have a question, the original picture resolution was really big. Why did you make it so big? I'm curious.
Oh ya Balaa! Did you have a good x-mas?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I make it that big because that way I can cram that much more detail into it without making it too hazy or blurry. Works out well on a copmputer that can actually handle it unlike my last...besides that if I choose to get it printed, I can choose from a variety of sizes from small to postersize!
And yesh Christimas was wonderrffull! How was yours?! Have fun on your trip?

Ah ^_^ Like the explenation.
And yes! I had fun 'at' nebraska doing stuff with family and such. I SAW A ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER! XD
Oh boy the trip was horrible on the way back a couple days ago though... x_x brother would not stop being a pest the whole way down. And back mouthed everyone...
*sends the bugger to boot camp* grrrr...
Overall x-mas was wonderful! stayed on an icy lake at my aunts big house and I just love that house so much. And she has 4 cats! ^_^ Each one has something cool about them. One has a long muzzle, another has very big paws! *huggles paws* One had very short legs and walked like a pameranian XD! and the other one was like an iffish cat that just didnt want to be touched, but she had structure like a miniature lion.

Wow... I'm not sure I've got words, but here goes anyway!
This is absolutely gorgeous. I've not seen any of your work before, so after this comment I'm going to go browse, but... it's such a gorgeous scene! Many people have mentioned the backgrounds, and they are wonderfully done, fading off into the sky... I can see why you needed so many layers in Photoshop. The characters themselves rock, you did a very good job at capturing the style as well as portraying the characters themselves. And I love the soft moonlighting on them. =3
