Description i'll be right where i belong

ETA: OKOKOK. SHUT UP. MAYBE MATSI'S FACIAL MARKINGS ARE MISSING BECAUSE I FELT THAT COOL, OK? I'm such an idiot. JUST PRETEND THEY'RE THERE.


WHOA. CHEESY HERCULES RIP-OFF? SURE!

Anyway. Obviously I was inspired by "Go The Distance", but that's okay, because um... this is the first picture I've actually COLORED+FINISHED in like,... MONTHS.

Applause for Matsi.

Anyway,... I really... had other ideas for this. But this is how it turned out so... oh well. I hate the grass. I was SO uncreative. But I was sick of spending time on it and I just wanted to finish it so it's gross and sloppy and gross. Thank you. D:

This is for all of you out there who know there's something bigger that's simply waiting for you. All you have to do is keep trying, and "go the distance". That's sort of how I feel right now so... APPROPRIATE? Yes.

Steal and I kill you.

matsi is mine.
lyrics and such (c) michael bolton? / disney maybe.

ps, my clouds are SO FRIGGIN' UGLY. that is all.

Late comment, but I wanted to say that I really like what you did with this piece. I love seeing work on atmosphere. The colors are so pretty and I rather like the landscape. You did a really nice job working with the color scheme of the piece. Really creates a nice mood for the piece. You should draw more, you. Your stuff is getting better and better.

Aw, your latest two comments have made me smile, Kaida. ;D They always do. Thank you so much though, it means a lot to know that people notice my work a little more in depth and not just glance and say, 'OHHH HOW CUUUTE I LUV IT' or something. I'm sure you get what I mean. But thanks, I feel encouraged. <3

And those sparks on the ground. And Matsi's hopeful-looking face :3 It's so pretty! ;o; I want to draw again too.. I've been having a worst art block ever and such.. Gah.

* what i meant by the first sentence was, your artwork is the total opposite of what i said, she blends so well with the lighting. lol sorry, it's 10:30 and i'm extremely tired XD

xl-technokitten-lx [2006-06-09 03:27:17 +0000 UTC]

my biggest pet peeve is when people do artwork like this where the lighting is dusky and stuff, but their character looks like it's standing in sunlight. i LOVE the "screencap" look, for lack of a better term.. and the clouds AND the grass, the way it's so dark, it makes Matsi and the colors stand out. \

i could go on forever, but i've gotta admit, i'm envious.
....you've given me inspiration, girlfriend. <3

I should add more? Okay, the yellow floaty things near her face remind me of the ones from The Lion King that Rafiki catches in the air, sniffs, and then goes "Lmao Simba is like teh living!!!111" <3

Kirazi [2006-06-08 16:58:48 +0000 UTC]

H'llo random deviant! Very pretty piece here. I have to disagree though, I like the grass and clouds... because the grass is so dark it gives that feeling of leaving darkness/despair behind and going to new and brighter things. *Favs!*
