Description This is the first commisioned piece I decided to post up...

*FULL VIEW PLEASE*

LOL! I know the weather seems kind of weird in this piece, but I love those days when you can see both the sun and the rain at the same time. But it usually only lasts for a moment.
I spent a lot of time in coloring the background. I played a lot with textures. I started with this pic before winter vacation, but the colors seemed totally wrong at first that I wanted to give up. But I started working on it again this week, and I hope it didn't turn out that bad.... *_*

This is the original sketch before I colored it: [link]

Hey, the work paid off! I like that your painterly style is surreal and on the 2-D side. The colors are vibrant; have you done a lot of atmosphere-intensive paintings before? I'd like to know how you set aside all the time for these nice paintings. Cheers.

Nanami-Yuki, your pieces never cease to amaze me. The one thing that makes your pieces stand out is the fact that you mix your colors together so well that they either merge or become iridescent. It gives it all a magical glow without being so shiny like the millions of other anime-style pics out there - it's your own unique touch. ^_^ I love the architectural background behind the character, and your texturing of the stonework is gorgeous. I love well-planned out backgrounds; they look good. Your water rendering is also excellent, especially the part where his foot is entering the water and it ripples out. You've managed to convey a sense of depth to what could've looked like 2D water.

As for your character, I love the clothing design - when have you ever gone wrong with that? The color, texturing, and shading on him is really lovely, and the expression on his face is like: "Come on. You know you want to take me on, but are you chicken?" At the same time, he's really the picture of the elusive, stoic swordsman. The only mistake that I see in this whole picture is his anatomy. His torso is just about the right size of his head (2 head lengths), but then it ends at his hip and gives the illusion that whatever hip he does have - it's not much at all. If his legs were a bit longer and he had more hipbone, then his anatomy might balance out better. Besides that, it's an extremely polished work.

Keep it up! :cheer:

This is SO pretty/// The first thing that caught my attention was because it's so colorful XD I have always admire the colors you use.... everything about this picture is so elegant. The character's stance is well drawn, and his attire is really awesome// And the background is just GORGEOUS! OMG I'm always amazed at the details you put in backgrounds (teh pillars *_*!)... foreground is one thing, but backgrounds like that is hard stuff (to me at least xD) *faves*

I really love those days too, where you can see the sun and the rain. It gives me this peaceful feeling for some reason, especially if the birds are still chirping. ^_^ Sorry, I got carried away.
