Oh, so I haven't mentioned that I don't usually lose at chess, sweetheart?

*

Imagine it or not, but I've had this idea for over six months... I just couldn't find proper stocks to finish it! Then I stumbled across ~rangercookiestock 's wonderful stock for the female model and I was so happy that I thought it was high time for me to try to repaint and texturise the boat on my own (finding a good boat stock was impossible ). So I did as I thought and here we've got a mixture of this: [link] stock, some parts of gondola, some of my painting and wood textures. Anyway, getting it right was one of the hardest part when doing this image

And as I was doing this one with a clear vision of how I would like it to look like, I had *SilEnigmaArts in mind.
She always amazes me with very original and unexpected concepts along with good stories behind her works. I've noticed that she's always determined to get the result she wants... And all her effort always pays off with a new impressive work.

I was about to give up a thousand times when doing this piece. But then I'd catch myself on thinking about some details or looking randomly on some stocks which could be useful for it.
Sometimes I thought of the determination and effort we must put to some certain things, of how much heart or nerves it sometimes requires not to surrender, to carry on. Or how much persistence and patience it all needs. I guess it's what helps people to improve.

So... I would like to dedicate this piece to for her art and being a sort of example for me as for the patience... And also for all her kind support!
I know this one's still not perfect, that there are things which should be improved... But maybe I'll be able to do them with the time when and if I get better in the future. I tried to do my best, hope you'll like it anyway
