Description I don't have any big dream, or perhaps I have but for now.. I only dream to have a little bit of peace in my life. I like to watch the stars at night. I also love to watch sunset or maybe more to twilight sky. Somehow, it calms my mind. But with such a busy life (BLAME SCHOOL!) I don't get to watch them.
I hope you can find peace from this picture, the peace that I am looking for. My mind is so messy right now. I wish I could be more carefree about life, but I know I can't

I am submitting this for [link] contest.

This is my interpretation of sun and moon. I think they are related somehow, but they are quite the opposite from each other. Therefore, I picture them as sisters with opposite characters. The Moon, as the ruler of the night, is a quiet girl, whereas The Sun, as the ruler of the day, is an outgoing girl. But they are related tightly to each other as they are siblings, that's why they are inseparable.

Come to think about it, they are quite like my sister and I. My sister is an outgoing person, I am the quiet one. I guess I drew this because I remembered how she used to comfort me when I was sad when I was younger. *sigh* This is another dream, but I wish she could turn back to her reliable self. Right now, all she talks about is herself.


EDIT: fixed the colour. Scanner is evil. Right after I posted this picture, my sister came to me and hugged me. She said she got some juice and told me to drink it if I want. Err.. Does dA have some sort of magic??

EDIT2: forgot to mention. The moon and the sun staffs are inspired by [link]

It's been awhile since I drew something. The moon girl sketch was done last year I think.. I've been so busy lately. I wish my teammates can leave me alone for 24 hours.. I need peace.

huh? What do you mean after comment to dievegge, ... , not to shicmap? You still wrote something on THREE of my deviations! I don't write comments as often as I used to anymore, busy.

I am happy that you like my style I am not really good at titles, so I gave a common title for this one

I feel like poor little Moon is not getting the attention she deserves, due to her being so similar in colour and texture to the background.

I like the picture and think it does a good job with the character concepts. I like the colour choices, and I think the watercolour wash in the back is quitenicely done. I think the shading mostly serves to show texture, and could be more accentuated to show the dimension of the characters; the sphere on Moon's scepter, for instance has good depth.

I always enjoy the expressions you have on your characters' faces.

Thanks for posting another picture for us

Hey, thanks for the detailed comment

Yeah.. I actually forgot to put some shadow underneath the characters, I always forget to do stuff -____-|| Thank you for the many compliments. Will try to apply them for future pieces (if I ever get to do any soon)

You too have to post one soon Stop coding and take a little time to draw
