Description --xx--
If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go.
Way up high or down low,
I'll go wherever you will go.
--xx--

The fact that I have actually managed to finish this thing feels like somewhat of a miracle.

This is what I've been working on for the past week. I knew it'd be a big project, but I didn't expect it to take nearly the amount of hours it did! Wow I'm glad it's done. This has to be the happiest, fluffiest piece I've ever done. xD

Inspired by this song: [link]
I really love it. The original is good as well: [link]

Thinking about it, it probably took so long because of the sheer amount of characters. I did, what... six sketches, six linearts, six flat colours, six sets of shading & highlights. All the lighting is very weird too so that didn't help. xD Tried some backlighting with the cats but then forgot to do anything with the wall so now it looks weird now that I've uploaded it but oh well.

It kind of looks like three separate pieces now that I look at it properly.

I hope you can tell what I'm trying to get across with the characters in this! (: I don't know what those underwater things are, but drawing one upside down sure was fun.

So, I'll shut up in a second but first I'd like to welcome any comments or criticism. I know I still have a lot to learn about backgrounds and composition and lighting and everything else really so tell me how I can improve! ^^

Art by me.

It looks as like two souls accompanying eachother throughout various situations.

Top layer, they meet each other for the first time, and you can see in the background that "love is in the air", which is appropriate considering that there owls.

Middle layer, the sun is setting and they are coming out of the playful stage as presented by two adolescent cats running, but one appears to be running away giving the illusion that this companionship may end, further enforced by a narrow wall that might separate them should one fall in their fun.

Third layer, we have darkness underwater represnting the unknown and the unreachable and at the bottom we see the two friends still together providing a light for each other, this time as dog-fishes(?) representing that anything's possible.

There also notably dark and light placing contrast and emphasis on their relationship.

Nice deviation.

Wow this absolutely stunned me... thank you so much for spending so much time thinking about my artwork!

I did consider a lot of this whilst designing this piece, but I must admit you got so much more out of it than I originally planned. Such an insightful analysis. My art tutor would be so proud of me if I'd thought of that myself, haha.

Thank you again!
