Description
Here it is. Finally.
I've been teasing you guys about this for almost two months and here it is, my huge, realisitc piece that has taken me countless hours to finally finish.
I know my last couple picture was on the beach but... the beach just suits so well!! This is my first realistic attempt at water and sand and clouds. Phew is all I can say.
I can't tell you how many times I went over Ty's fur to finally figure out the proper direction and thickness.
I obviously had to do lots of research to help get everything perfect.
I looked at CunningFox 's gallery for how the fur flows.
I used this sand tutorial - www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/…
I looked at this cloud tutorial - p-51.deviantart.com/art/P-51-s…
and I looked at this water tutorial - risachantag.deviantart.com/art…
Yep, me and my lover Ty Pennington (quad form) about to make a memory on the beach!
Of course for every piece I have a very lyrical song that gives me motivation, this time, like some times before, my favorite band, a song from Bon Jovi's new CD Lost Highway.
Bon Jovi - (You Want To) Make a Memory
Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries
How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave
If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory?
I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had.
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing I don't wanna ask
If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I've got a plan
We're gonna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines
You wanna make a memory?
If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
We Should be
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines
You wanna make a memory? (x2)

Oh my. This is very impressive.
I absoloutly love the lineless style you went with. It's more romantic than having those thick lines ruin most of the colours in some pics.
-smacked for having no lineless art-
Either way, this is a truly magnificent piece of art here, I love how you did the sand & they sky. Might not be as realistic as a photo but nonetheless, amazing. I also love the fur on the two animals. How you did the shading & highlighting is something not to be forgotten or easily missed. Wonderful job on it, it looks professional.
The "I love you
Last but not least, your signature at the bottom. Some artists create miraculous pieces of art & put their signature at the corner or just put the DA watermark on it. I dislike using the DA watermark for various purposes, yes it helps your art from being stolen on other sites, but it's not the most attractive thing you can add to a picture. & that saying "There is nowhere else tonight that we should be.." I really love that. It finishes off the picture perfectly. & yes, you can blame the sand making tutorials or some song lyrics for all these things I'm praising you of, put you put them together all in one piece that should deserve a favourite from anyone who sees it.

Awww! You're such a sweetie for taking the time to write such a wonderfully long comment that's full of praise! Sheesh, I don't feel like I deserve all that.
*blush*
Yeah, I never thought my art was good enough to steal anyway so that's why I never watermarked it. Plus, if someone wants to steal a piece of art justice will prevail and they will learn their lesson from all the flamers that come with it, lol. And signatures in my opinion aren't part of the art, therefore shouldn't take away from the art by being bright and huge. That's why mine is so small and faded. It's there if people are interested but most of the time their not so I make it subtle.
I always like to add a particular line of the song that inspires to me, so that people can understand where the piece came from in my mind.
Thank you so much for the comment, I really do appreciate it and will always return the favor.

Fantastic, the shading is wonderfully done, I rather do like the fur strokes as well. They are not too big and you did a nice job on the direction in which they should flow ;D Also I like the water, it flows nicely as well. Great reflection ;D The sand has a nice texture to it as well and the I<3U is a very nice contrast and looks like it really is dug into the sand.
Overall, your best yet ;D

GAAAAH BO this is absolutely spectacular! @_@ Geebus, it's obvious how much effort you must have put into this.
I really love that fur SO MUCH especially Ty's, it's so soft looking and pretty. ;^; That sand must have taken FO' EVAR, but it looks really good, and I love how it's so.. I don't know, believable? |DD; It's not cliche LOOK IM YELLOW sand but it's still plausable, and you put such nice contours to make it look like it's piled up onto itself and IM NOT MAKING MUCH SENSE BUT THIS IS GOSHDARN BEAUTIFUL KAY????
and lastly I LOVE the waves, they're so soft and pretty looking. DD8 BO THIS IS COOL dkjfafd jda;flkj fa

Oh my Laur .. I've just been staring at this for so long my eyes are burning !
BO ! Holly crap man ! You've outdone yourself complety .. I don't even know where to start .. gosh !
2 months .. we'll all I can say is that they definitly paid off ! This is amazing .. I'll start by Ty and Bo .. just ugh .. their poses .. how Bo's leg is like touching Ty's belly and you can actually see the fur sorta moving, the eyes, the expressions .. the fur ! That really looks like fur ! It's so realistic ..! I love Bo's pose, her arms are just so .. posed like that, so natural .. UGH ! I just love them both, I love Ty's neck and hair, he just really looks sooo realistic !
The background .. just .. I love beach scenes, they really are romantic and all that stuff .. the thing that immediatly caught my eyes, is the sand, but the part where it's written I
You should be fricking proud of this .. I admire how you took so much time, I usually would give up after like the first month .. but you managed to make this, after so much effort .. and it shines trhough ! It couldn't be any more perfect .. every detail, everwhere I look is just a treat for my eyes !
Amazing art .. and I also noticed that your style cnahged a bit .. like your doing the legs more thin and the tails have more movement .. amazing improvment !

*envy skill*
Srslry, that just totally pwn my lazy ass. >_>
What I love the most about this picture is the background. It's very pretty. O: The sky give off a very warm feeling. Details are everywhere in the picture that is lovely.
The sand was so well done, it's look very real.
However, the shadows on the characters could be done better. Since the light source is coming from the background. (Right? XD) Also I thought that the sun might be a little too bright. o.o;
Over all, it's a lovely piece of artwork that I shall

Yeah, I tried shading them a bit more with the burn tool but then it just started looking bad so I left it.
Thank you!!!

Burn tool is a no-no for shading. >o>

how do you shade?
I ahte the burn tool but it's the easiest.

I use two darker colors for shading. O: I would use the lighter color of shade first and then add the darker color for the darker shade. : D
Look up tutorials, there are lots of good stuff on it. ;D
