Oh man xD I'm so excited for this one and I have been for about a week now. With being sick I've had to work on it on and off so I couldn't say for sure how long it took, but either way, I'm very satisfied with the results.

The water was tricky... I had to do most of it on one layer after I did all the sand and since my photoshop is very finicky about how big of a file size it'll accept I had to redo it a couple of times. That's probably why it came out so good though, haha. I got a lot of practice with it. ^^

Both Ferisu and Ivy came out excellently. I had to fix up the lineart as I went and then when Ivy actually called me on the phone she reminded me that I had forgotten her earings, so I had to add those in last minute. Mind their rushedness.

It's dimensions are made specifically for my desktop- 1152x864. Other sizes available only upon request via note.

The sky is amazing... i guess you could use thinner lines on some of the creases in the clothes/for the hair ... but other than that well done you

You know, that is really good advice. To be honest with you I hadn't thought of little things like that. =3 Perhaps you've just brought on a new way of doing things for me. If not, then I at least have to give it a try~!

Thank you so much for the criticizim, I appreciate your honesty so much.

This is excellent! I compliment you on a job well done. Especially with you being sick and all.
The best drawing of Ferisu I can recall that I've seen, and the water is simply lovely. Makes me want to jump right in.

=^.^= Awesomeness, I'm still quite proud of this one, and I actually wanted to print off a copy on good quality paper at the school and give one to Ivy when she finally comes down.
Thanks for the compliments good sir!

Feriberri In reply to Dii-chan [2007-05-12 23:47:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank ya! I had to redo that stupid water at least three times, so it better be good!
And the light effect was easy peasy in comparison to the rest, haha.

Thank ya Dii-Chan!

Thank chuuuu!
Hehe, actually, I had originally had them both just standing there, but because Ivy's so tall I bent her over a bit so Ferisu wouldn't look so dwarfed Then I ended up slapping them together and going from there!

Feriberri In reply to Scythed [2007-05-12 06:48:15 +0000 UTC]

Haha yup. I had to switch between something like three tutorials and kind of pick and choose what I wanted to do and what I didn't... the perspective was kind of off at first too xD

Thank you, thank you!

Scythed In reply to Feriberri [2007-05-12 07:40:41 +0000 UTC]

haha, yeah i bet, and the perspective seems fine to me now... well, except the waterline doesn't get narrower as it goes off into the distance

haha, np fel

Hehe, yeah, about that... When ever I tried to pinch a part of it to give it that perspective look, I just couldn't seem to get it to work So I simply ran it off the page and said that it goes on a while
