Floating with My Angel

----------

Commissioned by :iconcamikawaii: as a gift for :iconbrett-kun:.

This would have to be my first non-game subject commission ever. \o_o/ (One WoW commission, but that's still a game fanart!!)

There's a LOT of things that were a challenge for me in this piece. I took another attempt at changing up my coloring style again. Mainly the colors and the brushing techniques I used to achieve the final texture I was aiming for on the skin. Also, style points aside, the lace on cami's dress/cami was a HUGE challenge. A good amount of it was done BY HAND. Larger areas were filled with a mix of preset brushes that I found on dA and scribblings by hand. Another thing about this piece forced me to use the most layers I've ever used on one commission ever. x_X I had at least 7 layers with glowing effects on them. The lace alone had to be made with 3-4 layers for each color (4 for white, 3 for black). The colors in the background were done on 5 different layers (including the flowers). Not to mention that each part of the characters were on different layers as well. x___x;;

Even though this piece was difficult, I think it was totally worth the effort. I know the grass looks a little cheap and all, but that's better for the main focus of the whole image!! By the way, those are hazy sillouhettes of wings coming out of their backs.

I'm really happy that you loved the outcome, Cami!! I hope Brett likes it, too!! *hug* :hug:
