Description "Listen...hear the wind's whisper, grasses' talk...do anything, just don't go, don't leave me..." He pleads her...unwilling to accept the truth.

"Take care...bye." She knew she was dying...but still kindly smiled at him...wanting to leave him with a happy memory. Yet tears...tears trickled down her face, uncontrollable.

--------------

(lol. suddenly feel like writing, sorry, my english's crap. sounds so cliche.)

XP Ja. that's the basic idea of this pic. But I guess i didn't present it that well. First the colours are too bright to be sad, and the guy's pose look really weird. O_o

phew!! haven't done such huge works in months!! Took me a long time...and killed my PC a couple of times too...

Yeah, but its more of his expression. it's very indiffernet to her struggle. And your english isn't bad at all. Make the colors go down a shade or a black and white pic with tones. Either way, make the image darker if you are going to remake it to make more of an emphasis on the mood. Don't be afraid to go more extreme.

This thing truely is freaking magical. The only thing that I think throws it off is the gray line down the right side. For some reason that reminds me of a scanner missing the edge of a paper. But I love the expression and depth of this peice (so much I kept it in my inbox until I was able to comment on it.)

Seriously. You need to let me know if you ever open commissions again xD I would buy from you in a HEARTBEAT~

awww! thank you so much! yeah, some people said the grey line is bit distracting...well, i thought it might give perspective...(supposed to be one of those windmill thingy) Hm...i'm considering about comissions, afterall, it's holiday now..lol

Very beautiful picture. I love the colours, I don't think bright colours should always mean a happy pic and vice versa. The wings are beautiful as well.

I love your coloring as always, aiki. and it seems you have more solid and hard colors on your CG, compared to your airbrushing CG in the past ^^

AAAAH!!! She's going to die? Why did you make it so sad?!? .>__<. Oh well.

I think a picture can still be sad even if the colors are bright! This picture is so sad!!

I don't think the boy's pose is weird, but then again, I can't see it because if the watermark!!! -___-

The girl's hair is very pretty... ^^

The only thing is, the watermark, the black bars, and the gray bar all put together make the pic look a bit cramped!! Maybe you should have made it not as tall, and more wide.

=_=;; I just like sad pictures...for some reason, they appear more beautiful. (man, i sound emo!) It's like, you hardly see girls SMILING in my work. I thought it was too squashed, but only realised after I drew the grass, and I couldn't bothered to add more grass to extend the picture. so...XP

Oh, I like sad pics too! but this one was REALLY sad!!!

Hmm, I actually think you did a good job with the grass!! ^^Yay!

I just noticed that you rarely draw people smiling... I seriously didn't notice until you said!! XD

I agree that the colours do not have to be dark just because it's a sad piece.
It's amazing how you CG artists can use your tablets and make such beautiful pieces! I still pretty much suck at it, so I stick with traditional
Anyway, this is such an etheral piece. Their poses are great, and their facial expressions really do show the sorrow that they are experiencing. Maybe the guy's face should be turned more toward the girl, though? Just a suggestion for future reference :3

I like the sparkles of light and I don't think it's doesn't look sad. It's very sad and having it a nice day makes it sadder. I love the poses and the colours and the characters

Ah, that's good; I like critque too XDD

But anyway, I lOVE the way you drew the guy's face. But maybe make his shoulders more broader and body more bigger to show he's that age. =] I think it'll fit his face more.

You know what I mean, right? =w=

Fennikusu In reply to aiki-ame [2008-11-29 01:10:06 +0000 UTC]

He looks like a guy for the most part. XD At least you can draw guy's faces. =w= But no worries; I'm sure you can have that fixed when drawing them in the future <3 (and actually, some guys in your gallery look like guys with great shoulder/body proportion already, like [link] and [link] )

Like I used to have the same problem with the shoulders and stuff when it came to drawing guys. But now when I draw guys, they look like men with a girly face :'D

Oh my god... that story is not cliched at all.
I wish I could read more about these two characters, more of the story, more of how it goes on...

I love the picture too, I don't think the colors are really too bright to be honest. I really like the coloring and their faces are very well done as well.
