Description I was inspired to do this while watching some Aki Hoshino pictures. The constrast between red and blue were really cool so I wanted to recreate the same visual impact. Then I went all gung-ho on the picture and kept painting.

Hope you like this one.


~Cheers!

Lovely - this angle is so effective to see the koi, too.

Such a lovely piece.
I love the calm expression on her yet her clothing is a vibrant red.

Also [as your artists comment says] how it contrass so strongly with the dark but cool background.
I'm like the dark violet leaves on those trees.

Thanks for your comment. At first i wasn't sure about how to do the leaves. I started playing with some custom brushes and had fun. I never expected to like so much the final product.

I'm glad you liked it.

Lol. Custom brushes are the ones that don't come with Photoshop, but instead, the artists make themselves. I have some that I made and others are shared from other artists. ^^ Hope this helped clear some doubts.

I like it, it's very smooth, and the contrast is amazing. I'm really loving how the purple of the leaves seems to actually glow!
