 Blue color is the symbol of peace, harmony, calm, tranquility and balance. 

"We leave the false images of ourselves created by others and we free the soul and spirit so that 'I' encounter 'Self', raising us synchronously into a unique and harmonious life force."

    
 
Tecnique: Illustrator CS6 and Photoshop CS6

Hi!
thank you for your comment! We are happy that this feeling, of harmony and placid love is transparent from work.

We can premise that digital technique is not our predominant technique but we are experiencing with these type of works, so we appreciate your point of view.
You're right, a modulated line would have been ideal! (^^)b
At the moment we have mainly knowledge of Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 and we can tell you that the linear was created just with Illustrator.
We have a Wacom graphic board available, only the illustrator linerart does not seem to be affected by the pressure, maybe we did something wrong, we do not know.
For this, we are trying also to learn other drawing software, currently Manga Studio and Corel Painter, where the line pressure seems to work.
We may also take an option to get to know this SAI in the future. Thanks!

Ok, yes,. Maybe you're right, there is not much contrast and depth. A little we tried to create something light, but perhaps some more detail given by the shadows and light could be better.

Hello there~ I’m from ‘s weekly comment project!

 

First thing first… I have to say that I really like the lighting in this picture.  It does add a little feeling of fantasy into the picture. The water ripples here are also really nicely drawn as well

 

The pose of the two characters here also looks great  It does look intimate, but I don’t feel like it’s overly intimate to the point of being sexual… This might be due to using a calm color like blue as the main component of the picture = v = (Using red or purple here might change the atmosphere and make it more intimate...)

 

Hair are also nicely drawn as well~ I do like the look of curly purple hair quite a lot  (Seems like it is something that would take a lot of time to draw… huhu)

 

Now is time for a little nitpicking… I’m not sure of what those floating lights around the characters are, but I felt like it would be better if those light were colored on top of the lineart.  Since now it kinda makes me feel like the lights are clawing under their skin… (Unless that is your intention >_<)

 

 

Anyhow~ This is a great picture with nice soothing atmosphere!  Keep up the good work

hello!
We are happy that this feeling is clear from the work.  In fact, the idea was a chaste and intimate embrace, without implications on the explicit sexual theme.
Yes, for this effect we have favored the blue shades, because its meaning is right  peace, harmony, calm, tranquility and balance. Knowing these languages helps to make the idea and the message of a drawing (^w^)b

Yes, the movement of curly hair was a bit challenging. There is not the same free gesture that you can have in designing straight hair. We had to create the right undulation that does not create too much contrast with the delicacy of the work.

Oh, this, yes, you're right! The work was created on several levels. This was our mistake At first, those lights are created with a delicate color and a little transparent, not full, so it was likely that transparency would result. But perhaps here it could be excessive, because the level of light has remained under the lineart.
We could try to correct.

Thank you for your comment!!

Wow, very amazing, very harmonic composition and well-chosen expressions
Are those tatoos their genders or just tatoos? I don't know much about the symbols of all the different genders so would you maybe be so kind to tell me what these two mean?^^

Hi! Thank you so much, your comment make us happy!
They are mercury (on Blond boy) and sulfur (on Dark boy) simbols, the main elements of the Great Opera, the philosopher's stone.

They represent these elements.
In this work the achievement of the philosopher's stone is more spiritual and not material.

I kinda figured blondie would be mercury, because it's the astrological symbol of the planet of the same name. I just didn't recognise the other one.

Yes, that is mercury's symbol and the other is sulfur used in alchemy
