Description Another white flag... It's times like these that I ended up rather disappointed with my self. If only I could transfer that vivid image I have in my head to art... I don't think there's any need for me to nail down each flaw when it's so painfully obvious.

Fanart of Matsuri from the anime Sola. I absolutely love Naru Nanao's character design since it's a little bit old fashion yet pretty.
The idea is from Yorito's promise to Matsuri; hence, the squares were meant to be photographs...falling...
So close to the dream, you can almost see it!

Photoshop 6.0

Ooh cool, nice effect you got going on with the sky!
Falling photographs? Wow, what an interesting idea!
I think what might help is... to either make the figure more vector, clean styled to match the photographs (which are very cleanly cut with neat edges), or to make the photographs more paintery and natural looking to fit the character. A more unified look might be part of the solution for you!
Anyway, awesome pic, keep making more

Aa~!!! Thank you so much~!!
I think you have given me the perfect solution! Thank you so much for the comment! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I'm considering reworking this again and again while making a few changes here and there in the composition...and then it will be a complete different picture! Nah, just kidding.

Thanks! I'll try to make more, but I can't make any promises that it'll be just as awsome.

Nice concept, I like. ^^ I suggest you try soften the breaking down of the sky a bit because it's not liking the mix with the foreground.

Very cute! I see only like... 1 oops. Other then that it's different from the rest of your gallery and looks very adorable. Good job.

Only one oops? Then the other oops will be a secret. ^_~

I like the idea, but I agree with the effect... ;;;;; I think it'd be better if the effect was softer-ish... iono ;

The character and the perspective is really nice though ^^

thank you for both the comment and fav!

Oh, I know! As I was doing it, I was going,
"Hm...this looks very much like the painting I did in ART 123. I must try something different this time..."
