Description The companion piece to Autumnsong Heartbonding Pt. 1 , done FOREVER ago. I've been so slow about doing my half. @_@

The berries they shared during the Glow Festival were so good, they decided to go out and get more! It's a wonderful oppurtunity to spend some time together, enjoying a late spring afternoon and each other's company. They weren't the only ones who liked the berries, though! Astor's beird, Mistral, has tagged along to snag a few for himself.

There were lots of challenges in this picture, even if they weren't the ones I thought I was getting into. XD Lots of glowing, sparkling, FINALLY stabalizing Lorcan's design, and playing with more specialized brushes!

Lorcan's Magic Count -- 
Total Love: 62 + 6 = 68
Total Gift: 20
Event Participation: 6
New upgrades shown: Plumage and Fantasy Tail (basically just making his tail longer and more flexible), using up 2 of the "any upgrades" I had left from last year's Summer Event.

Undecided GM Pool: 126 + 18 (Astor +companion + rainbow bonus)= 144

Look at these boys ; w;
I'm still in love with the way you did the background~ And the loons look so happy to be able to go out for a nice little picnic!

The background was a good change for me to experiment with brushes. I did the grass and tree with my favorite Oil Brush, but the bushes are carefully layered texture brushes which were a pain in the butt because you had to be very careful about what direction and with what pressure you moved the stylus. @_@

THANK YOU!!!

For all that you had to struggle to make it, it looks amazing. All of your efforts paid off beautifully <3
I sometimes wish that Sai had directionality based textures lol, but we make due with what we have, right? :3

I hope that I get to see more of your work as you experiment, I love what you've done so ar and can't wait to see what all you do in the future! <3
