Hey there darlings!

Been a while eh? It's a not-so-quick quickie. Meant to be a practice in colors and tonal depth based on the values and the saturation of the used colors. Need more practice as you can see,

The chinese text on the left reads (from top to bottom)
Strength Peace (Translated using Babel Fish Translator [link] )

This would be my first peice of the new year.
It's been a rather horrible start of the year. Enough to make me forget it's a new year altogether.

But, i've been working on several pieces which i hope to finish in a month or so. Plus a personal freelance work in the making. So hold on mateys!

Take care beautiful people!

Woooooooooow. I think this is one of my favorite pictures by you. The style is simple, yet beautiful. Everything looks very soft. It reminds me of a traditional Chinese (or Japanese) ink and wash painting, excpet it has more color. My only suggestion is to add a soft glow of a really light yellow around the sun.

DarkClone In reply to Zaiye [2007-01-22 03:22:09 +0000 UTC]

OMG! You lie! JKing jking, Apparently you like simplistic styles, i should do more like those,
The softness of the image is what told me to give it the asian text and overall texture.
I even did a few watercolor paintings, also as color practice, and gave them a similar concept.

Thanks for the suggestion sweetie, i'll try it out and see if it looks better,

Purrtty~ I like the mountains and the glare. And the colours!! That's kinda like your trademark.

Hope you've been good DarkClone dearest

Purrtty?! omFg, awesomeness galore!

Haha, colors being my trademark? Aw, you flatterer you,

Trying my very best to get on santa's 'good list' but being naughty is just too tempting!

Thanks my dearest puss!
