I know this scan has been walled before, but candy-chan came up with the brilliant Kino Challenge for Paint-o-rama a little while back, so I feel no guilt, even though it technically ended already/nobody really entered anything for it. XD
Painting practice again - I rearranged the clouds in upper right corner of the scan a bit, then painted everything outside the scan (except the rays of sunlight) with mouse + hard round brush. No smudge. I'm a big proponent of mouse-painting... I've always thought that if I can master painting with a mouse then if I ever get a tablet, I'd be able to take full advantage of the capabilities and the $$ I'd crash on it.
When I first started painting I was like X.X grass! But then I got the hang of grass pretty soon and was like damn clouds! They still look kinda poopy, but I figure I should just finish and submit this one while the mood's on, since I started this one months ago. Had to paint this one on my office computer 'cause I didn't want to risk my home laptop (1024x768 res, 256MB RAM, 20GB HD) sputtering and dying before halfway... luckily it cooperated enough for me to put in final touch-ups and signature in :D
Original scan: here. Very light textures from Stock.XCHNG. Thanks to tat0es for support, way back when I showed her first, and Gids for final suggests + checks
And lastly, this is my super late birthday present for cyd84. I originally started something else for her but then I remembered us watching and enjoying Kino no Tabi back in the good old college days, so this seemed appropriate :D *loves*
Addition res @ pixel ellipsis! :D
