copy&paste from MT d:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Eeva-neechan! Hope you have a great day, lots of presents and eat lots of cake too :3 Hope you like my little present ~

Not so surprisingly, I made a UraBoku wall for you :P

Now...........I totally FAIL OTL

Like I said in my previous work, I'm making things difficult for me on purpose in order to improve my skills. And so, last time the challenge was doing trees; This time was to make a nighttime scene with trees! But more like a forest...which equals "leaves" in which I totally fail. And I'm not really satisfied with the outcome orz ;_;

Original Luka image came from the manga (since Eeva-chan is basically vectoring every single image and so I don't know anymore what's left for me *cough* XD) Did some changes here and there; colored on SAI (thank you Erika-neechan for giving me SAI +.+) and then back to Photoshop for blending and lighting effects.

Made the background from scrath even though I had to look up for a reference since it was my first time doing something like this. I wanted a night, dark looking atmosphere but I needed a light source other than your "everyday" moonlight so I picked some fireflies. I think that's my fav part of this work (besides Luka that is :3) Some parts of the lighting are looking a bit flat to me but I reached my limit x_x

Thank you for the support as always everyone~ I really appreciate every comment and favourite m(_ _)m--Other (late) b-day gifts coming next...I hope orz--

--Status time!Original Image: Manga panel Time: 7 hours (yes, I know...I did this in a hurry and in the same day!) - March 30thPrograms used: Photoshop CS2, SAI

OTL big description as always ^^'''

Whoa!

I would have to first say that I really like the background. It really looks night time in a forest. It has a mysterious feel to it and the ambient glow achieves this. The airbrush look gives it a feeling of depth in comparison to the foreground. I find myself staring at the background more than the character lol.

The character is beautifully done just like the background. I like how the fireflies wrap around his right arm. The way he is painted is really smooth and clean.

The his hair is kind of jagged but I have that problem also. It comes from making really fine lines and sharp lines that have steep angles. I have been experimenting with enlarging, 50% blur layer, and reducing the size. It really helps anti-aliasing those jagged parts from fine points without enlarging line width too much.

The other problem is the tree that he is lying on. It just seems too flat in comparison to everything else. I think painting dark shades where the grooves of the tree are will enhance it.

Definitely a +fav.

*___* Zomg the thumb really caught my attention. I love what you've done - bishie with the green glow! And only 7 hours? Gaaah I wish I could wall that fast. XD Though I think his skin shading is a bit too light like it's in daylight and I would have liked to see some variation in size for the fireflies - and even some in the foreground too such that it looks like he's gazing/spacing out at some. :D I like your work on the forest a lot, and great idea for the bg. :3 Overall the wall seems a bit unfinished - things still look rough and the details unpolished, even on him. The wall is definitely in the right direction though, and would be even more awesome if those details and more time were put in it.

[strike]oh~something sexy[/strike] omg i love how you do your lightings *o* green glow on the bishie is really nicely done! ya like nysha said i thought the skin was kindda light too, and other than that i think a bit more relection of green light in his eyes would be better < 3

Didn't think I was going to like the green but in full view it's gorgeous. Lol, I kept thinking how bad I'd be freaking out if I saw that many fireflies near me. Wonderful coloring of the BG and the beautiful shades you picked work so nicely together. Nice job.

Oh, pretty xD I love the green tones and the nighttime background is nicely done. The green tones to it give it a nice feel with the fireflies in the trees. Very nice!

@-@ *Drooools* I gotta say the thing that caught my eye was the awesome green glow. x3 I can't even do normal lighting as well as you did~ Especially in such short a time... <--- takes foreva to do anything The entire thing is gorgeous, though... of course there's the things mentioned by Tens-san and Nysha-san but I wouldn't even have noticed if they hadn't said anything. xD (Though I do agree about the skin being too light. xP But it kinda works?) Again... extremely drool-worthy wallie. :3
