Description Aaaaah I'm done! ;u; Finally~

First of all: Happy New Year!!

Dude I'm rather pleased with my shading! I had a hard time sculpting Tsuki's muscles. In that sense I'm happy William's just a bunch of fat and skin.
Overall it didn't quite turned out as I expected so I've spent quite a number of minutes in "post-prod" if I may say, playing around with contrasts, colors, effects and all...
Not much to say cuz I need to go back reading for my exams to come~

Short explanation for this composition though (quick notes):
-Tsuki looking down cuz she's pessimistic and leads a poor life
-William looking up cuz always happy, has a peaceful life, blabla~
-Butterfly = freedom, beauty, purity, ...
-Slug = slow-motion, sticky, unpleasant, ...
-Background's rather dark cuz gives warmth I think + focus on characters then; staged scene
-Black bug versus white one -> good versus bad, difference, opposition, ...
-Red flower-things giving movement + red contrasing with green. They're turning up next to Willy and turning down next to Tsuki. (echoes the title)
-... Feel free to interpret this drawing as you please. I've not been exhaustive here.

Heeeey, it looks amazing!

You did great job on shading (those muscles are just stunning!)... oh come on, the whole picture is gorgeus.

Hi Ki-Re! Thank you very much! <3

Thanks!! I took the opportunity to practice with muscles since my reference showed a muscular whippet~ You can therefore say I've learned some anatomical facts thanks to this drawing, which is good! ;D
Thank you again very much! <3

JulianBaileyi [2018-01-02 06:20:14 +0000 UTC]

You finished it >w<

I love the shading n.n and yep, Tsuki's muscles looks interesting o.o I'm not used to see a "muscular" feral xD but I like it n.n looks realistic n.n
I really love how you make it n.n I really hope you like how you did them n.n
And you where right about the bg n.n it makes the characters stand out n.n
For your explanation, I think I'd just add: Tsuki's on an "island", which could mean that she feels kinda alone, even if she's with William o.o and the light is a neutral element, shining for both of them n.n
You did a great job my friend n.n

Plumpig In reply to JulianBaileyi [2018-01-02 12:46:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much my friend!
Actually I wasn't gonna draw her with lots of muscles but the ref I used showed very clear ones so I thought "why not shaping them nonetheless?" cuz she's supposed to be muscular but I never dared push it as far because I lack knowledge about anatomy. We could say I've therefore learned something from this drawing. x3
I'm glad you agree with my choice as far as the background is concerned!
Oh yeah nice interpretation!! Also the 3 little "islands" as you call them are going down, which may also hint at depression or hopelessness. ^^
Yes!!! I purposely wanted the light to touch both of them! Very nice remark~ Shining on Tsuki cuz there's hope, and shining on William because he's synonym of Goodness.
Thank you Julian, thank you very much for trying not only to see but understand my work as well. It means a lot to me when people go beyond what is depicted. I've been putting much effort into composition lately~

Also I therefore think I'll rework on my sketch for your commish so as to give it a more "thoughtful", a deeper dimension. (Since you're sensitive to underlying meanings, which I appreciate grandly! β™₯)

JulianBaileyi In reply to Plumpig [2018-01-03 05:51:53 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome n.n
Yep, I also noticed that the "islands" where one lower than the other, being Tsuki's lower than William xD
You're welcome n.n I like to "analyze" your work n.n though, here you gave us your interpretation and that was helpful n.n

Awwwwww, I don't know what to say thank you so much

Plumpig In reply to JulianBaileyi [2018-01-03 12:29:10 +0000 UTC]

Yus! ;D
Yeah I like explaining my choices because drawing takes more than handling a pen and giving strokes on a tablet or a sheet of paper. It takes reflection as far as meaning and composition are concerned. So as many people may not take the time to get into the whole meaning of my art, I like giving them hints of interpretation. Of course everyone can analyze art -generally speaking- as they please. Just because I am the artist here doesn't mean other interpretations are bad. ^^

You're very welcome! So, if you have any more info to give me about the characters so as I can rightly depict them, don't hesitate to send me a note~

JulianBaileyi In reply to Plumpig [2018-01-05 06:10:43 +0000 UTC]

Yep n.n especially when the artist wants to, like, give a message with the art n.n it's fun to analyze it to see what it hides~

Oh... well, honestly I don't have my characters developed... like... at all o.o I'm more-less making Baileyi's history (though here I would use him more as my fursona than as an OC), but to be honest, Absol and Sylveon only are the main two Pokemons of my Pokemon X team n.n''
I could think in a composition based on this n.n''

Plumpig In reply to JulianBaileyi [2018-01-05 11:52:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I agree! ^^

Oh alright, I'll try to do something with those, facts. xD

JulianBaileyi In reply to Plumpig [2018-01-06 06:15:04 +0000 UTC]

Let's see... I'll kinda create a scenario for this o.o

If we take this as a mini story, Baileyi would be the kind of trainer that likes to travel with his favorite team members by his side rather than in their pokeballs. A curious look to others due his feral form, but he doesn't really care. They even sleeps with him xD
Both Absol and Sylveon love his trainer and see him as his friend, and Baileyi see them the same way and love them both, even if he have a slight favoritism for Absol xD
Both are very strong and a curious duality considering their types (dark and fairy), but they're good friends that know how to work together.
Absol's always wearing in a necklace the "Absolite" that his trainer gave him. Part for mega-evolve in battles and part because he likes it (he see it as a gift from his friend and trainer)

That's all I can think for now... hope it helps x.x

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. I've spent much time defining the colors and contrasts of it all. I'm usually not very good at choosing the right colors, imo.
