St. Valentine's day themed pic of Kisa in the morning :heart: Looks like she's expecting someone ^^

Coloured version of [link] which I decided to recolour. My goals were to enhance the lineart, go beyond my digital painting skills and to produce something atmospheric.

I'm really proud of this :love: All and all it took just over a month to complete. I've learnt a lot and can't wait to start another piece like this.

The background was inspired by japanese gardens, and I used some photos of the japanese garden in Gosford as a reference. The idea was to create something warm and inviting, without detracting upon Kisa herself.

Many thanks to everyone who provided crits and advice! I hope you enjoy it! :hug:

Lineart: 0.05 pigment liner
Colour: Photoshop 7.0

Wow, the colors are simply blowing me away! it looks so beautiful! Love the soft colros for the background and you drew her adorable! Nice soft colors suit the whole mood perfectly, fantastic work on the picture Lisa!!~:heart:

Wahaa~ it's finally done! X3; Everything about it is just so awesome and professional looking X_x; and the background looks so much improved from the last time you showed it to me ^___^ I like the soft colors you used with the picture a lot (I never seem to be good at picking shades >>; )

All I can really critique about this (and I'm really picking here, mind you) is that I'd like her hair to have just a wee bit more shading, and that rock in the foreground (it's blocking her dress so it IS foreground right?) should stand out stronger than the other rocks... maybe more defined and a higher gradient of shading? But yeah, everything about the pic is simply marvellous, like, really everything from top down, the inking, the expression, the pose...


...I'd say more, but you'd have to wait until my expression turns to something other than envy-green. >>;

You're right, the background doesn't really take away from Kisa. I think you did a great job with this. Hopefully you'll have a few of these done for animania eh? :P
