Description OKAY

So like

This is the one that I'd been working on for two months that long story short turned into rainbow static and it was very sad. So then I redid it... wait for it... from scratch.
except not really because I had half of the lineart saved somewhere else so

Anyway I finally finished it. Remind me to never try to draw Prospit/Derse again. Ever.

Whimsical architecture notwithstanding, this was loads of fun and I am definitely doing more stained-glass Homestuck stuff in the future. The concept just works so well cause, yanno: Gods, religion, ect.

little is known of of the the old god, but with the help of the stars, they slayed the great demon and gave us hope...
my grand mother told me how she was proud of her son, but not my dad and when i ask who she says "just listen to the wind..." and starts to smile.

How did you manage to get that glass effect? That makes this stained-glass look so realistic, it's really amazing

Bright-Smoke In reply to CatLuigi [2012-01-19 14:59:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I slightly modified the method used in this tutorial: [link] And duplicated/gaussian blurred both the lines layer and colors layer when I was finished.

Marchie-Monrey [2012-01-02 15:03:51 +0000 UTC]

Wow, i mean just, wow. this is incredible, and it took two months? And then you had to do it Over?! Wow, you have incredible determination, i would have been so frustrated that i would have given up, but i am very glad you didn't give up on this! It's AMAZING! You know what? You deserve praise not only for the perseverance and commitment to this, but for the end result being such a beautiful piece, and that you truly had fun with it despite the struggle. Im faving this, and i humbly compliment you on a job well done.

Everything Homestuck, all fit into one image-- this is awesome! Also, it is perfectly square, so I'm making it my album art for some Homestuck music. It fits perfectly for Heir-Seer-Knight-Witch off the fan album.

I'm staring intently at Prospit/Derse and oh god how long did that take you?

This entire piece is beautiful.

Bright-Smoke In reply to reachability [2011-12-23 02:59:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Prospit/derse took a while, maybe an hour to an hour and a half total? Although much of it is just the same two or three buildings copypasted over themselves XD.
