Description "What I've learned is that, a great love is a lot like a good memory. When it's there, and you know it's there, but it's just outta your reach, it can be all that you think about. And you can focus on it and try to force it, but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient, and you hold still, well maybe, just maybe, it'll come to you..." ~Church: Red vs Blue

Whew! This here was almost a month or so of work. Well, I was mostly lazy but I finally finished it. It takes place in the future where Bolt has died and Blu mourns for his father and wonders if he's around. (If you look, you may see Bolt like Mufasa-ghost style. Try and find him. It should be easy.)

I hope you like my failed rocks!

Hope it was worth the points, Nipsu7.

Oh my. Such a powerful little scene depicted here. I know this must be devastating for Blu, because I know he loved his father more than anything in the world.

I must say, once again, you have captured all that you needed to in order for this pic to work. All the gloom, all the sorrow, all the sadness, all the pain, just everything.

And for you, I present another Bravo.

OOOPS POSTED that before I was nearly done writing XD sorry!

Anyway! What I really enjoy about this piece (besides the fact I love your style!) is how you pulled off the emotion on Blu's sad expression and the rain effect and how the two work together <3 Little details like the reflections on Blu's eyes and the shine on his tag really give a nice touch! To me, Blu looks like a sub-adult in the picture: it's just a side note, but I hope Bolt lives a long life and that Blu is fully mature when he passes away! The background is simplified yet works well with the detailed subject. (Btw the rocks on the ground don't fail!!! XD) Another little detail that I really like and find symbolical is the cracks on the stone: it's almost like representation of Blu's broken heart... Probably best part of this to me, however, would be the ghost Bolt on the background He just looks awesome that way! Lastly, the highlights and shadows on Blu's fur work really nicely <3 However, there are two minor things that could be improved to make this piece even more successful (and I'm being very nit-picky!) One is Blu's tears. Making them dark the way you did draws attention well, but the lack of highlights and reflections leaves them sort of flat looking and not very "watery" if you know what I mean XD The second thing is just simply that it looks like the dark blue fur covers Blu's muzzle, when it really ends higher sort of in between his eyes, at the beginning of the bridge of his nose. This is just a minor thing which is easy to forget about his design XD Anyway, I really love it and this is definitely worth the points! I'll be sure to commission you again sometime in the future Thank you!

Wowza. Long comment as usual eh, Nippy? xD Yea, I had trouble with making Blu's tears look like tears. I tried white first, then mixed it with blue but it looked really bad so I tried faded black... I need to learn how to make tears on GIMP xD
