Description
In my field of paper flowersAnd candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me...
...
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The Goddess of Imaginary Light...
I couldn't get the song Imaginary by Evanescence out of my head while I did this piece. I think for obvious reasons it's because the priestess' name is Paperflower. XD
Well, overall, I'm pleased with a lot of things about this piece. The armor came out well and I like how the eyes came out as well. I LOVE doing eyes.~ It's my favorite part of CGing. XD Anyway, I cheaped out on the grass...and yes, the "paper-cut-out" flowers. Haha. Still, it works, and the water is decent.~
Sketched on paper. Outlined and colored in Photoshop CS.

The song is actually called Imaginary (Origin), but who sweats the details of that kind of stuff?

woah rhiya i loved this as a line art and i love it now XD the colors are so soft and warm, and the perspective is awesome. there's so much detail too~~
i think the only thing constructive i have for this is that around their heads (their hair) looks a little busy with all the outlines.
nevertheless i love this *-*

thankies sumie~
hmm...busy...? hmm....i guess i did go nuts on the lines for their hair XD ....i guess i got carried away with the pen tool XD
again, thanks

When I saw paperflowers, it made me think of that song. Then, I saw the lyrics of it. 
The characters look lovely and all. And I like the flowers flowing around them too. But they seem to not be fitting witht the background. Maybe it's because the bg is not outlined.

heh...i don't outline my BGs, unless it's a "structured" background....otherwise, MESS OF COLOR....
besides....i already spent 25+ hours on this.....for a commissions that isn't going to pay me more than 50 USD.....i really couldn't have put more time into it... x______x
