^_^ I've been meaning to draw a picture of Hidalgo and Anet together for a while, but I haven't had time to do it. I started this on the 24th and wanted to finish it yesterday, but we had to go out to Warman and have turkey dinner. So, here it is. The whole thing is 22 layers, probably the most I've used... The water alone took me like, an hour. I got some help from a tutorial for the water, cause frankly I suck at it. I wanted this picture to be really special, so I went back to smudging. It was so relaxing xD Sometimes the Dodge/burn tools make everything too shiny and blinding. I think that by going back to smudging for Hidalgo and Anet made it that much nicer. Anyway, about the pic. In the RP I just really liked the idea of there being a photograph of Anet and Dally in St. Andrews, just having fun together. I was originally going to draw a pretty silver frame for it, but I'm not very good with metal stuff so I decided against it. While drawing the whole thing I was listening mostly to Imogen Heap. I think the lyrics from 'Goodnight and Go' fit very well: Skipping beats, Blushing cheeks. I am... struggling.. Daydreaming, Bed scenes in... the corner cafe And then I'm left in bits recovering tectonic... tremblings You get me every time. Why'd ya have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you.. Must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well.. Say goodnight and go. Etc. Total time: 5-6 hours

Holy shit, Rachel! 0___0 This is amazing! Smudgerising makes everything look so much better I love how well balanced all the lighting is throughout the picture- nothing's too dark, nor too bright at any one point. The anatomy is just... stunning. . I'm impressed, my luff!

Oh... My... Gawd... Anet: *happy sigh* I love this picture of us...Ragles... @______________________@ The cliffs... The ship... The shoreline... The clouds... The birds... The dock... The WATER!... Their HAIR (*dies*)... The whole.... darned thing!!!!!! @___________________@ This is seriously THE best picture that I have EVER seen you turn out. (which is REALLY saying something because your work is just...just... *drools*) I can just feel the seabreeze in my hair, hear the gulls crying and feel the sparks between them! And the hair...I am SO jealous of how you do hair. I demand (nicely) that you do a tutorial! @_@ I just love how Dally's roots are darker and you can really tell which way the wind is blowing! And just... Auuuuugh! *dies* Anet: *melts*So, yes...I like it. X3
