(this is going to be one hell of a long description, sorry )

this is going to sound a bit strange, since it's been months, but this is a birthday present for ~SpiralSea17 (Teehee, I'm slightly late with this one )
Happy belated birthday Spiral, though I already gave you this at y! a little earlier ^^

I started drawing this before the birthday and thought I would make it in time, but the job turned out to be a lot bigger than I expected (the background, woohaa). So, after working on this for months, it's finally done. (I think).

I sort of lost my hope with this at one time and stopped painting it. Then I decided to get it done since it was half done already. And then I stopped again, thinking that gah, it doesn't look at all the way I wanted it to look
And now, I finally decided that I should show it or I never would. I don't think I will ever get it more ready than this.
This process explains why the image looks like it's built from two separate ones (the water and all else, it was a lot more painterly in the beginning)

So, then finally to the pic itself
The painting was referenced from several photos that I borrowed from my mom. The view is from Venice (Venezia) and the characters are from the book Cry To Heaven, which is still my all time favorite book from Anne Rice (as much as I love the vampire chronicles, Cry to heaven is incredible!).
I don't know if they (left one is Guido, the right one Tonio) look at all like themselves, I painted them the way I saw them, not exactly the way they were described ^^
If you haven't read the book, I recommend it!

Since this painting is HUGE, you can't see any of the details in this -_-, I made a page to show the details better: [link]
