Description
Warria (on the left) and Sivia (on the right) are (c) to Abby Klem, 2004. This piece was commissioned by her.Pencil sketches on cardstock, 2 hours
Photoshop 7 with tablet, 6 hours
about 8 hours total.
If you can't tell, I had a lot of fun with this commission... I've never drawn "skeleton armor" before, so I learned what that looked like... and I learned how to make a starfield by using this tutorial...

And I overdid it, considering it's never possible to see that many stars when you're under an atmosphere
But oh well. I did try to draw the grass, but it ended up looking painfully bad, so I had to resort to the photoshop grass brush, unfortunately. Aside from a few stray/unground blades, I think it turned out fine.I didn't mean for the clouds to be transparent, I thought I erased a bunch of those stars, but I guess they survived. Damn longevous stars.
My commission info is here:

I dunno, when I went camping in the Uintah mountains as a child, we laid out and saw the Milky way overhead... and there were at least that many stars, if not more. As I've gotten older and pollution has increased, and city lights have encroached closer to forests and mountains, the stars have gotten fainter. Great job (i didn't even notice the dude in black at first! but it's good duality, contrasting the white with black, the female with male, the standing with crouching.)

That is gorgeous. The amount of stars is a little to overwhelming, and the way the clouds dont filter out any stars at all doesnt look quite right, but it still looks awesome. Well done on the characters as well, especially the dress.

I like the anthros! The girl's hair is awesome! And the starfield rocks! I think the transparent look to the clouds gives the picture more emotion to it. It was a cool mistake LOL And teh grass isn't all that bad...

EH its a fantasy world, therefore who cares about atmosphere!

I like the way this picture is put together and the color choice is nice..but i think there should have been a light source that you could actualy see. The character on the right looks like someone has a spotlight on her. To me i just looks a tad off.
Question: is there something in the clouds???
P.S. Didnt mean to sound like a know it all or anything just saying whats on my mind.

This illustration is has alot going for it. you seem to be very good at making pictures real fleshed out.
You've use the the grass bush and made up look really natural. It just gives me so many ideas to follow up on that. ^^

Lovely job. True you can never really see those many stars in the sky but it's art. And anything can happen there.
