Description Lyric casts Sonnet a flirty glance, then bolts off. She checks back often to make sure he is behind her, but she does enjoy being a tease!

Commission for =scenceable of her two characters, Lyric (the pink one) and Sonnet.

I am pretty happy with how it came out. The scanner didn't capture as much texture in the clouds as it should have, but they're pretty simple even in real life. =scenceable requested a forest scene, but I don't think I complied very well with that. So, it's a forested hill behind them! I actually had fun with the trees too. The background really brought out the earthy colors in Lyric's coat, and made Sonnet not seem overly bright. Sonnet wasn't really referenced, though I glanced at a few leg pictures. Lyric was kind of referenced, but her head wasn't at all. Lots of new stuff.

Anyways, this was done on Sunday. First my computer died, then my internet goes on the fritz, and now my scanner is dying. It's all very frustrating. So, that's why it's taken awhile to get up here. And I still have no internet, so while I appreciate each and every comment, it'll be awhile before I can reply to them. Sorry about that.

Hope you like it, =scenceable ! I had a lot of fun doing it.

You might have to debate that with her! I love Lyric's pose. She's the one I had a really hard time with. Sonnet came together fast, but I think Lyric's is just so fun! The angle really let me have fun with colors too!

What a stunning piece!

The colours are soft and pastel shaded, which gives the piece a dream-like mood. <3

I love the poses too. The characters look so happy and carefree~

Excellent job!

Thank you! I am very happy you like that! I've heard similar things about my coloring methods. I love things smooth and blended! Wouldn't it be nice to be as happy and carefree as those two? Would sure make life a lot easier . . .

Bandarai In reply to Aryenne [2009-02-25 12:48:58 +0000 UTC]

Me too. I think it looks more realistic in some cases, and more soft and dream-like in others.

Gosh, I know. <3

Color penciling all that background must have taken some patience, specially with all the detail it looks like you put in there. Love the uni coloration. So joyful. Nice work.

Aryenne In reply to Dark-Memory [2009-02-19 17:19:03 +0000 UTC]

It did, but sometimes it's rather relaxing. You put in the main shapes, and other than that there's not much thought with the background. Nice and relaxing to work on. I love the colors on the unicorns too. =scenceable was worried it's too cliche, but I thought it was a lot of fun to do!

Dark-Memory In reply to Aryenne [2009-02-21 20:49:50 +0000 UTC]

It does seem like a very fun image! Bg's relaxing? Im so poor with them I try to avoid them. Lolz. Or just photoshop. I'll need to confront that fear though if I want to excel as an artist. I even bought a landscape book to learn from.

Aryenne In reply to Dark-Memory [2009-03-02 03:00:01 +0000 UTC]

To start learning backgrounds, I started practicing grass and sky. I took tons of photos of both. You'll notice most of my backgrounds are just grass and sky? Now I'm trying to branch out and learn more. When you start working on it, just remember it's there to compliment your subject. You can make things a little quicker and not as defined or perfect. It's definitely worth working on and it will bring a whole new dimension to your stuff!

Dark-Memory In reply to Aryenne [2009-03-06 21:27:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely start trying to do traditional backgrounds in addition to my digit/tradi mix.

Beautiful. I love how you choose traditional art, but can still make amazing pics like this. Take that Photoshop! Haha. Wonderfully done.

I could tell you what I think each piece of equipment is related to.

Aryenne In reply to swimninja [2009-02-19 17:18:02 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Someday I want to get into digital painting more, but I need a computer that won't make it frustrating. No chance of that with my desktop, and with my laptop out of commission . . . I am very happy you like it!

Do I want to know what you would tell me? I think they're all rebelling, or just decided they hate me.

swimninja In reply to Aryenne [2009-02-19 20:12:19 +0000 UTC]

I would too, but I can't afford the program or tablet. I love it!

Computer: Overemotional moody mare.

Internet connection: Zombie, that dies repeatedly only to be brought back to life.

Scanner: Vampire, sucks the color and life out of colored pencil sketches.

Yeah... My opinion.

Aryenne In reply to swimninja [2009-03-02 03:03:20 +0000 UTC]

I can't afford the program either. So mine is . . . *ahem* . . . Well, you can guess. I got my Bamboo for $100 at Best Buy and I am happy I got it.

I definitely agree on the computer, and the zombie thing is more the router and less the internet, but still very true. When my scanner actually decides to scan, though, it does very well! It just spent lots of time refusing to scan . . .

But I love those analogies! They're awesome.
