Description An image that's been engraved into my mind for some months now but it's been a while to get it out.

Nothing else to say, but it's a lot more detailed than it may seem :3

Edit: People wanted the story behind it, so... On my way back from TAFE one day, we passed over a bridge that went over a river (obviously). It was a cold and dark day, and the sky was heavily overcast. There were two boys standing on the icy water. They were completely still and both were fishing. They had no equipment nearby -- just rods. One of the boys was barefoot, yet he seemed completely unaffected by the water, the scenery, the coldness... It was as though having his friend there outruled every other thing in the world.

Nicely lit Very pretty clouds, and you can seeeee the detail. You know, I think I understand digital painters just a bit more now. I wouldn't know properly, but to think of having to paint all of that in on a computer (it's hard enough to paint on paper!) and with a mouse...Very well done

Amazing detail! I must say, the back of the kid's backs is what impresses me. Seems an odd thing to say, I bet, but to me, muscular structure and clothing wrinkles are so hard to master...

Anyway, I love both the technical aspects and the mood set. Great job!

Everything is hard to master, because 'to master' is such a broad and easily misinterpreted term. Thanks!

I like the color usuage. Not too dark that you lose definition between figures, but dark enough that it gives it a sort of eerie feeling.

What a wonderful picture, kinda reminds me of something I read from Mark Twain hahaha~ Love the scene, so peaceful, I do perceive a calm after a storm, but if that were true, then they won't catch a thing...At my first sight of it I thought they were training with wands and doing magic, but that only denotes my need to read Mr. Potter's last adventure. Hahaha~

treijim In reply to Koboshimaru [2007-04-20 04:32:47 +0000 UTC]

lol! I'm not into wands, so I'm afraid that's not it If you look real close, you can see their fishing lines. It's actually the calm amid a storm, in the sense that the storm is just a really overcast day

And like I said to someone else, how many fish they catch is completely irrelevant to the reason they went fishing

It's possible, but is it probable? And is it plausible?

Oz-Walsh In reply to treijim [2007-04-22 20:12:32 +0000 UTC]

The plausibility factor is quite high, but the probability, from the scene, is most assuredly definite.
