Description

:cd: Musical Inspiration :cd:



:iconcryforeverplz: My god, this piece is going down as one of the most incredible pieces I've ever created. :love: The background alone probably took me close to 12 hours, and the details on everything even longer.

This was a commission for the amazing, :iconsoronadragon: that she ordered around December I think? She asked for her two OC's Yamerra and Ryouzu in some kind of a "love" picture. So my brain went straight to work coming up with an idea. I wanted to do a sunset, because they are so much fun to paint, and because I find them very romantic. ^_^ I also wanted to paint water, so I drew a pretty reflective lake. Then I also wanted to add some kind of Japanese element to the piece, because I love the fact that Sorona is from Japan. :heart: So I created that pink tree that somewhat resembles a sakura tree? I don't know what it is, but it's beautiful.

The sunset sky was A BLAST to paint, an adding all those pretty clouds was really fun. :D The characters however are a second draft. In the original sketch, I had them flying, forming a heart in the center of the piece. But during the shading stage of that, my PC crashed and I lost all the details I put into the background, as well as everything I had done to the characters. After that I didn't much feel like working on this piece, so it sat in my folders half-done for nearly three months. But I'm kinda glad I lost all that work. If I hadn't, I would've just finished it as it was. But after all that time passed, I learned so many new techniques, and the new poses I chose for the two of them work sooooooo much better!

I also figured out a new lighting technique with this piece that I plan to use in all of my future works. :)

Well, I hope you like it Sorona! :hug:
