Description
"Tra la la.I am the riverman.
Or am I the riverwoman...?
It doesn't really matter."

Love this character. ^__^ I could really relate to that introductory quote (above).
No matter how much time passes, this game by Toby Fox- UnderTale- keeps making me smile.
By the way-- here's my concept sketch!!! (If only I'd made it bigger...)

I really like this piece, the water is well done! Tho, the blue lines in the boat doesn't fit to well. But, I think that your piece is very pretty anyway!

Wow, this is absolutely stunning! The shading on Frisk, the Riverperson and the boat make it seem as though the river itself is glowing and makes it look so mystical! It really reflects the feel of waterfall well! The way you've drawn the water also, in a way, reminds me of Studio Ghibli work? I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but I love it.
As for the characters themselves, they both look SO cute. The human especially with those eyes reflecting the light. And those hands look so precious!
I love this so much, you're improving with every new piece and it's wonderful to see! I'm sorry if I comment too much, but I just adore your work.

;v; This comment that you made means a **lot** to me, my friend. 
This one disappointed *me* a little, at least: I really wanted to have *some* of the light move, or something! But I knew that I couldn't get it done by Friday, if I did that. I also don't know as much about a river water's motion, with such lighting on it, from my own observations. Certainly not as much as I do know from observing a candle flame in my home. It would be *tough* for me, animating parts of this piece... Yet, it almost begs to be done, with all of the splashing and running downriver!

Trust me, friend, you haven't disappointed AT ALL. I love this, animation or no. And hey, don't worry about stuff like that, it's not like you have a deadline. This IS art you do for you after all. Do what you want to do in the time you want to do it, being days, weeks, etc.
I don't know how much this helps but, usually if there's a thing I'm stuck on with an animation, I search YouTube for videos of how that thing works in motion and how other people animate it as a reference. Maybe if you did get round to it, watching something like this frame by frame could help?

Oh my, this looks so magical!! 
Also - Am I correct that this is your first attempt at a more painterly style, without lineart? ^^

Ahhh, haha, you caught me in the act!! >D
So I drew the line art for this... and didn't want to 'touch' it, so to speak. Though I began coloring and thought I'd go over my lines (like normal), I decided to try only adding "lines" as highlights. (That got to be fun. Hahah! Especially with the foreground water!! 
Ultimately, I didn't remove the lines completely-- but instead increased that layer's opacity, blurred those lines... and even then, when they were 'too much' on the Human's face I erased some of them lightly. It might be possible to see some of the lines near the face, other than the chin? (Like the mouth.) For the most part, though, yeah: I *did* try without lines!
(I'm addicted to using contour lines. If you think of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese paintings on scrolls from hundreds of years ago, or "Ukyo-E" wood block paintings from Japan in the 1800s, or even 2D animation and manga from American Disney and Japanese studios in the 1900's: these are *all* inclusive of contour lines that I just adore. It's very hard for me not to incorporate them...! xD Don't know if I can successfully leave them out in the future, hahah! ...yet, maybe, I can improve with painterly style a little more with practice. Who knows?)

I knew it!
The reason I mentioned it is that I really like the way you handled the Human's face, it looks great! And yeah, I feel what you mean with the contour lines... I still feel much safer when drawing with lineart, it's just nice to have boundaries, heh ^u^
Painterly style isn't something one HAS to learn, of course, but if you enjoy it, go for it! It's definately a great way of broadening one's artistic horizon. I know that I needed a lot of practice to figure out the basics of it, and it made me appreciate lineart much more XD
