Description THIS IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A PRINT AT MY ETSY STORE!

A desktop I made for my gorgeous boyfriend

Adam asked me sometime in '07, it took me ages to finish, partly due to procrastination, partly due to my abscence from digital media for so long, but finally, here it is ! I love you Adam!

I know I'm rusty and I do want to improve but critique is discouraged for now because I put my heart and soul into this piece and I don't want to start disliking it because the mistakes were pointed out to me. T'would make Adam and I sad Lovemins ; ;

Oh my goodness...........

Wait, let me catch my breath. It was just knocked out...
This, wow, I think this is one of the most beatiful pieces you've ever done. I mean, wow! What an incredible amount of sheer breath taking detail. First, the sky. It's so lovely. I think I'm diving into one part of vast sea of stars, but really it's only a patch of the Milky Way. It almost seems like part of the Aurora that are shifting in beat with your hearts. Next, oh wow, the really beautiful love. You can see it in every way, from their body language to their smile. Actually, one look of the eyes that seem to melt into each, and I would still be able to see the love. I just can't get over how beautiful this piece is. Adam was right, why didn't you post this sooner?

Jeez, when am I going to be hearing wedding bells?

Really, truly, gorgeous work hun!

Kaitlin you are such a dear, thank you

I still have yet to give you your gift or finish off catching up but you continue to shower me with your long, detailed and EXTRA KIND comments! I feel ashamed and honoured! xD

Thank you so much, your comments always make me smile and giggle Adam liked it too

Mylares In reply to tahliadenae [2008-03-27 03:29:45 +0000 UTC]

As always, you're very welcome.

And I always LURVE giving you comments! You have such beautiful work! How could I not? God would probably strike me dead and I can't say I would blame him. Plus, you're the first person that ever gave me detailed comments and in turn I've come to give them too. Thus, I owe you a lot. Including much in general.

Haha, and what can I say? I'm just that good...*glomps both of you*

Wow. Compared to when I first met you, you have improved LOADS artistically. My hats off to you!

It's a very beautiful picture. I can tell a lot of love went into this. The couple look so happy, the lighting is wonderful and it's just a gorgeous picture.


For some odd reason, I'm reminded of a dark and hot Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen. DON'T ASK OMG.

AHAHAHA SAILOR MOON! And to think I was scared it was going to look to wedding-y, thats a better perspective XD

Heh! Definitely didn't think of a wedding! Maybe I should have lol. I immediately thought "SM" because it was you! Imagine that huh?

Anyway, I hope I get to see more pretti pictures from you! It's been a while!

"Holy crap, that's beautiful." That is the only thing I could think for the longest time looking at this.

The background on this alone is stunning. The clouds especially are just incredible, with the amount of texturing and detail. And I get this whole "the sea and the sky" theme to it. Kind of like, "My love for you is as deep as the sea, and as endless as the sky." Or, some other romantic stuff XD;;

And then, the figures. UGH. The shading on the skin is amazing. I love the moonkissed tones with all the purple. And the way the shadows are on the face give it this sense of realism, or western-comic style. The pose is romantic, and a little sensual with the way the legs are wrapped around, and kind of dissapear into the darkness.

The petals are a fantastic touch, I love how they seem to almost glow, and they blend in rather well with the sparklies in the background. The movement and the folds are incredible just on their own, but the colour is just breathtaking. It's has so many beautiful tones, but it doesn't take away from the background at all.

But my number one, absolute favourite thing about this is the dress. It's just...beyond gorgeous.

One of my top five favourite pieces of yours, for sure.

tahliadenae In reply to torturebunni [2008-03-12 06:17:40 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you liked the idea of the legs and such around that area fading to darkness, I was worried that might look a bit off.

Thank you so much Kitty! You've always got the kindest words and most indepth, insightful comments :3

Holy COW there is a lot of detail in this! You may have been absent from digital media for awhile, but you came back in full force, girl! That background is just TOO cool looking! There are so many colors and sparkly stars! @_@ While you were away, you must have been studying people, too because the pose is excellent. All the lines in the hair and clothing are just incredible; And the details in the fan, you put so much heart into this! ^_______^ I am so glad I get to see your awesome drawings again! <3

That is the most gorgeous piece of work that I have seen you do in a long long time. It almost makes "Defying Gravity" look like a doodle compared to this. The folds in the dress are BREATH-TAKINGLY AWESOME. I love the position of you too, such romance and such love I can just see from this picture.

It's amazing and it's gorgeous. and you need to not think you can't do digitial media anymore. Cause if this is "rusty" I don't want to see what you can do on a great day where you actually say "This is awesome! I'm not rusty anymore at digital media!" Cause, I think that would blow me away too.

Thanks Pandacake, that means a lot! ; ;

I put a lot of work into this and I am happy with how it came out, but I'm too rusty to do it in a good amount of time xD And I'm so unsure that what I'm doing is RIGHT. I keep thinking that I've been away so long that I won't see the obvious flaws xD

Thanks again, your comments and faves means a great deal to me ; ;
