Description ~~~

*noms*

To be completely honest, I actually just did this to work with the colour combination of red and blue - my personal faves.

BUT, I also did this because I had yet to do a new lineless of Thom and Idracil. :3 Quite frankly, however, I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

I did also intentionally make the sun a bit 'impression-istic' on purpose - a bit exotic-looking. This is because, to Thom and the Crusaders, the Middle East and the Holy Land are quite exotic to them, since they're used to their mountains and shades of grey and green from their homelands~~~ They're definitely not used to all the sand and rocks, (and blatantly obvious lack of rain,) most of all! XD

And YYYEEEEEESSSSSSS! I've finally found my own spiffy way of creating amazing clouds. I can feel the power...ahh...tingly, yes?
(Sorry. Tutorials are nice to look at for some things, but other things are just so much more satisfying to find out with your own grety matter, y'know? I mean really!)


So yes - Thomas and Idracil enjoying a nice flight across the Kingdom to Jerusalem from...somewhere. Actually most likely from Haladin's camp, because after the knights release him, (they captured him in a battle,) Haladin kind of reconciles and decides he should issue Thom a formal apology to make up for being nasty...and, of course, give Thom a load of pretty Meastern swords and fancy things. Perks like that always help.

I made Thom a little happier than usual because this is after the Crusade is formally ended and he's living in Jerusalem with his new giiiiiiiiiiiiiirlfrieeeeend, oowhooo! But it is true - in just about every other picture of him he's frowning, being angsty, frowning, crying, or frowning. Poor guy. But he has been put through many hard times - doesn't help. ;-;

Art feels good.

Enjoy!

Rip this and I'll gladly show you how many bullets are in my clip.

Poor Thomas needs love! And happiness...and a smile. He needs to smile more often. ;-;

Ah, he's... *squints and leans closer to computer screen* ...yup, he's smiling. Good for you.
And I notice that the edges don't look so sharp this time around either. Great job on the lighting and stuff too.

TwilightSaint In reply to Yubria [2009-12-30 02:01:08 +0000 UTC]

Kind of smiling/smirking/scrunching his face due to flying at high speeds. But yes. He's happy.

Yeah! I took your advice to blur the edges - especially where the shadows/highlights are the sharpest - mainly the shadows, though. What a difference! :0

Frame effects =
They are so unneccesary.

But the picture is still amazing!

Soooo necessary. ^^ (Seriously, though, why aren't they?)

But thanks!

Dragonletters In reply to TwilightSaint [2009-12-30 10:31:11 +0000 UTC]

The frame removes the feeling that the picture is something you actually see. It looks more like some dusty old painting when you have the effect.
