AWAH, how do you always manage to make your pieces look like oil paintings! *A*
I love the sunset colors and the lighting the hair/face~
The wind in the hair and scarf was an awesome touch!
And that bridge and city lights~ ♥♥
PURE LOVE!

I'd love to work with real oil paintings one day I think I will have a really tough time getting used to them, but I'm sure I'll love them despite that
The perspective and background aren't very good, but I felt at least that I was trying to step out of my comfort zone a little, and I'm a little happy with that aspect of it (got to do better though!)
Thank you sooo much!!

this blows me away~
seriously,t his is a masterpiece O_O
wow...!
The character and backgorund are equally gorgeous. The lighting is stunning. I love the stars coming through just a bit, the silhouette of the bridge, the texture of the clouds...it's all wonderful ;u; the bits of snow really set the mood too

T-Thanks!!
I really worked hard on this one, both because I wanted to improve my skills and make it look good for Orantmihi It's my first time attempting a real background too, and sadly I'm aware of all the flaws with the perspective and such >< But, for now, I'm proud of it 8'D I'm really glad that you think it's beautiful! Thank you so much!!

shwippie In reply to Selladorra [2011-01-10 03:45:37 +0000 UTC]

it's your first time?? O_O geez you seem like a pro at it!
I didn't notice any flaws in perspective, and I don't know that others would, either, since the lighting and colors are so powerful.
my pleasure ^^

Really? A pro? *A* I hardly think so but it makes me happy to hear it :'D
I never follow the rules of perspective and/or lighting properly, mostly because I don't know them! xD I hope I can learn a lot when I get into university :c

wow this is fantastic! i love the movement the colours the realism of the character... okay i like everything just wow. how long did it take you? and what paint did you use?
super fantabulous!!

Selladorra In reply to DemiAthena [2010-12-30 01:12:09 +0000 UTC]

It's digitally painted! As for the time, when I took the screenshots for the WIP, it was around every 30-60 minutes, because that's how long I usually paint before I take a break xD Sooooo....I'd say around 8-9 hours it took me? I kept changing a lot of things, like the pose or the head size and I changed the lighting too.
I'm happy you like it!!! Now I need to try with real paint!

OMFG! OMFG! HOW COME?! What a frigging coincidence! This has GOT to be fate, man!! AND HOLY COW! You totally slaved your arms off for this painting! I'm serious, this is a SUPER jawdrop moment! OMG! OMG! You know that this is frigging abnormal, right?! This is ABNORMAL I TELL YOU! I'm so touched! It's so, so, so beautiful, it's so beyond my capacities to paint something amazing like that, I'm so awed, dumbstruck and touched! Look at the sunset, the beautiful strokes, the composition, the whole atmosphere it breathes out! It's like a bookcover! Shet! You know that when I was younger I worked on a novel on Noël? It's like everything becomes real or something with such a professional painting of him like this!

Man, I love this to pieces! I cannot express my gratitude well enough, I'm so... in awe! You proved to be so amazing again, both in skills and the social efforts! Shet, I am one lucky, lucky bum to have you as my friend and my secret Santa!!

(who would have guessed you really would have me?! that's definitely abnormal! LOL!)

Man. You totally, totally made my day. You know, a while back I bought a mousemat where you can put pictures in so you can always have a different scene for your mat. It was still blank up till now, but I think I know what's going in there already!

(Shet, I can't stop looking at it *_* It's so frigging amazing...)

Ahhhhh I'm so glad you like it!!!
When I got you I was so excited!! I couldn't wait to surprise you, and you're more happy with it than I expected so you made MY day!! It took me a while to figure out which of your OC's to do, but I ultimately picked Noël because well... his name's Noël!! I really really enjoyed painting this, and I feel like I've taken another step towards digital painting! So, really, I have you to thank, because I wanted to do a good job on it! I THINK IT MUST BE FATE
I'm so so so so soooo happy you like it It makes it so worthwhile!!

AND AGAIN I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
