Description Some love for my favorite Young Justice couple, Wally and Artemis.

I imagine this particular scene taking place somewhere down the line, once they've finally accepted the fact that they like each other. Otherwise, I'm sure she'd find much more violent means of stopping his advances. XD

I have to say, this piece was SO much fun to work on. The amount I learned along the way was awesome, and while I still maintain that shading is an abstract pain-in-the-rear, I found it was more forgiving than I realized.

Obviously, my goal with this piece was to create a scene between these two that was indistinguishable from the show itself. You be the judge of whether I succeeded. I know for my part, I'm so giddy about the finished product that I could practically burst. But of course, I'm always open to constructive criticism.

15-20 Hours, Mechanical pencil and Photoshop CS3.

**EDIT: Wow, glad to see this was so well-received. I'm touched, guys. Please forgive me for my inability to individually thank you each for the faves, but know that I really am grateful to have my work enjoyed by other fans.

Gilarin In reply to JetBlackRiver [2011-12-28 17:47:19 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks. If it helps, I hid the pencil layer after I retraced it all pretty-like with PS. So really all you're seeing is the PS work. The Pen/Path tool is really amazing once you get used to it.

I'd like to see another just like this, except make them kiss. That would be so sweet!

Gilarin In reply to FoxxyLover [2011-10-23 03:45:30 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks! I've never actually done a kissy pic before, I worry that I would mess it up. But then, you see the closeup kiss pic overdone so often that it might be easy to duplicate after all.

But you know, maybe I should give SB more credit.

Haha, but putting my cynical view of that ship aside, thanks! You speak some truth there.

I think the only thing that could make it look more like it was coming from the show would be for the angles to be a bit sharper. Other than that...I'd be searching for this clip on Youtube!! GAHHH I love Waltemis so much! Thank you for making this ♥

Thank you, the light and shadow was... interesting to work with, to say the least. I tried to convey that the light source was right between and above them, partially because it's kinda like they're illuminating each other.

Haha, thanks! Just practice, practice, practice. And for uber-clean lines, it helps to know how to use Paths/Vector shapes.
