Commissioned by .

I had a lot of fun with this commission. It was just.....wow. XD :heart: Anna, the person that commissioned this piece, so much!! I guess I just enjoy a commission that much more if I know the person and like them a lot. XD

I was trying a new style of shading on this piece, mainly to make the colors more vivid versus my continued use of "slightly muted" colors. Overall, muted colors just don't match my style, no matter how much I love them. ;_____; One main difference is that I used to just paint shades with my brush on "Normal." I decided I'd go back to my old school use of "Multiply." I hadn't used it on that setting for general shading in so long. I tried hard to avoid it, but you know what, it worked REALLY well on this piece. And actually made some of it a lot easier for me instead of trying to find the exact hue I needed to make the shade work. ^^;

The points I like most are the folds in the priest's dress (though the leaves shading kills it a little bit....) and the monk's coat (again the leaves shading kills this, too....). Sigh, everything I like most, YOU CAN'T SEEEE.....

Oh well, I still really like this piece a lot. So does Anna. :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

waa~ i love it sooo much xD

The pose is just perfect and the surroundings i especially love you illustrated the dappled light beneath the tree. The bg is so "real." The water, waves and clouds were very well done.

The colors you are so vibrant. I love the shades of red you chose for the priestess' outfit. And you did their eyes and hair perfectly.

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooo much <3 <3 <3 I lav's it to bits ::huggles::
:iconsonghee:
very nice nancy <3 I love the colors.. the water.. etcetc.. i can go on~ but i do like in this one is the fact that you tried a different type of coloring... (with the really vibrant colors) and i think it came out very very very well. I love the DEEP red you used in her HP's outfit.. and the dark blue in her hair.. the water is so realistic looking~ <3! and of course, i LOVE the grass >:3!!!!! another wonderful great job! <333
