Thinking of titles for commissions never fails to teach me new words. Viridescence. Does that sound cool or what? Level-up!
Anyway! This one's for the dear =Taicon! His characters Nova (male, left) and Sonar (female, right). They're enjoying a nice walk on the beach together on a bright sunshiney day.
Time: I have no idea. Maybe 20, maybe 30 hours. I fucked up my cost-benefit ratio again, haha. xD Tools: Paint Tool SAI, Photoshop CS3
You did an awesome job of not overusing green. I was reading in a book today about how easy it is to make green dominate the picture, but in this drawing it's very balanced. I really like the natural and realistic look of the background, and how the blues and yellow-gray of the sand contrast the green in the foreground.
Could it be a thoughtful comment? (gee, I enjoy these, thank you!) That's an interesting point, greens can indeed make or break your picture. I think if all of the bamboo would have been green (instead of making some of them brownish or yellowish) they would have severely affected its balance and the "message" I was trying to convey.
