Such a pleasant surprise to see another piece from the Storm series
This one has a different viewpoint from the other two. Also, it's interesting to point out that the hair in this piece looks to be more linked to the wave. Almost as if the hair creates the wave.
It turned out really nice

Hey Owy! 

As much as I would like to complete the story as soon as possible, 
I did need an artistic break from it--nothing like making broad washes in blues to make me feel closer to home and heart.
I'm glad you noticed the different viewpoint!
In terms of technique, I tried to push myself towards looser brushstrokes and softer colors.
In terms of the emotion, I wanted to convey more vulnerability in this piece.
The previous two pieces were meant to embody a spirit of greater resoluteness and defiance. 

Thank you as always! Happy to hear from you   
How have you been?

Hey Vi!

Thank you for sharing this information about the artwork pieces. I'm always glad to know more about them

All in all I've been doing the same, not much has changed. One notable thing would be that I fallen in love with a girl xD? Unfortunately the feeling wasn't mutual but it was a great experience where I had lots to learn. Not to be insistent or anything, but I don't want to give up yet. I truly like her

How have you been doing?

Hi Owy, 

Wow, in love huh!
I'm happy to see that you have a healthy attitude about the feelings not being mutual. 
When handed rejection, it's easy for one to attribute that rejection to "because I'm not good enough,"
and thus fall into a nasty spiral of self-pitying and self-loathing. 
I think for two people to start anything, it has to fit--
both people have to recognize the value and worth in each other, 
in addition to all the fuzzy warm feelings that attraction brings. 
Be respectful of her feelings and give her some space, 
but still keep being the sweet and thoughtful gentleman that you are! 
Enjoy the experience regardless of the result, 
because these experiences have a knack for sticking around in your memories long after they've happened. 
Good luck and happy wishes to you! 
Thank you for sharing with me the tidbits in your life~ 
I'm truly happy for you  
 Vi
