Description
-= FULL VIEW PLEASE =- I put a lot of effort into this painting.EDIT: Changed colours... others seemed too intense, giving too much dodge effect... I like the new subtler colours, what do you think? reply to this post if you can think of better colour combination and I'll try it.
Whoa where to start... I was talking with my friend Nillhenia on MSN about funky artwork, and we came across the subject of Saka ... I sent some pics of his over and came across a few in particular that looked really awesometo me... but I never thought I could attempt a similar image til I was a better overall artist. I'm not sure whether today was that day but regardless I tried anyway! I like the overall result of the image. Even though it's anime I'm sure I made a bazillion anatomical errors. Please don't pick on obvious stuff... unless something is REALLY wrong with something in particular, please keep it to yourself. I do have a few personal complaints but if no-one notices them I won't address them ^__^; I know I'm not the only one when I say this but it really shits me when fanart gets more attention than original art.
Special thanks to for keeping me company on MSN whilst I was drawing/painting.
Programs: openCanvas ver1.1b71, Photoshop CS 75% Size of Original.

This is absolutely gorgeous Hibi! I love the soft colors and just how you rendered the overall piece. It really captures the essence of spring. It makes me think of rows and rows of pastel colored tulips. Awesome work!

SANKYUU ^__^ I didn't even know you were still watching me o_O; Guess I'll have to try harder in future to get the attention of my watchlist from now on XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O_O" Of course I still watch you! It's just that I haven't had much time to sort through the deviations lately. It doesn't help either that older deviations from other people pop up and confuse the heck out of me. *gets a feeling of deja vu* ^_^" But really, great work on that. You put a lot of effort in it and it definitely shows!

you're shading is absolutely lovely. i love how it fades from orange to blue. amazing use of the two opposite colors.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you
The first colours I used were good, but a little to close to each other, and intense altogether. Also the strong red reminded me more of Autumn (I might render all seasons now that I think about it). I think the blue contrasts the orange without impeding on the overall effect, thanks for your comment ^__^;

Nice subtle colors! The only other ones I could think of trying is maybe a blue and green combo, since green is very reminiscent of spring, of course.

I'll give that a shot and maybe upload if it looks swanky :3
