Description Been getting a lot of beautiful poetry comments from QuentixStarwing of Fur Affinity on some of my work. Definitely appreciate it, so offered to do a gift art of whatever works for him. In the end he wanted an image with his Renamon OC Eitsuri smiling at my Mewthree, Swadeaqua. Background wise, he said something with cliffs and sky. Evidently, I did actually get a picture to a sloppy shading phase before I realized I hated it since it was too generic. I can do better. So playing off of the cliff idea, and overkilling it, I scrapped the "looking at each other" for looking at something grand (not each other). The Rift Between - WIP was what the original idea looked like.

One of my fav songs is "Rockface Rumble" from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (SNES version. GBA one is awful!), and it utterly inspires me. It's such a sweeping song and sounds great if done with electric guitar rifts. I've never done a picture with canyons before, despite how badly I've wanted to, but never found an excuse to really do one. Heehee, I've wanted to do one since I was 10, and finally have one. Very, very happy I swapped in for it. Checkbox on my artistic bucket list finally done. Very happy. Not sure how this fits with the image, but color wise, it helps. It's just more interesting to look at regardless.

Reference, reference, reference and mad amounts of blotching everywhere. Sort of wish Eitsuri and Swadeaqua were more color compatible, and yellow didn't stand out so much, but there was little I could do with it. Kind of don't notice her in the picture, but being a gift art, it should be less about my character anyway and more about his, so really happy with it. Also finally, my first Renamon without breasts. I am so happy! Happy, happy happy!

Wow, I absolutely love the background! You did an amazing work with the color choices, also with light and shades, it's really mesmerizing.

"Also finally, my first Renamon without breasts".This made me laugh a lot xD

So do I. Nice to have a pretty BG with some decent color.
Ugh... RIP my gallery.

Thank you! It used to be way more colorful, bit I eventually did adjust the vibrancy down to something less psychotic. Needed it a bit muted to balance better.

Seems like it worked out just fine. I do admit by the way that drawing a canyon like this can be quite challenging, the pale shades of yellow and orange are really difficult to balance out so that they don't look bleached.

Could go bleachy. Not all rocks are created equal.

The background is really impressive, looks like the grand canyon and the colorado river!

It probably is. Referenced cliffs from Google for this and well, wouldn't exactly doubt it.
