For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

This was made for the December Gryphon art Exchange over at livejournal. My chosen was *amoryllis and her lovely gryphon character, Lyosha Moonheart.
Anyway, I've been working on this for about the past five days or so (actually, more like a week or two when you consider all of the brainstorming). I finished it last night but wasn't able to submit until just now. It sucks that I went over the timeline by a day. :[ Uhm. I originally made the lineart with not-so-obvious pencils, but my scanner friggin' RUINED them. So I had to fix it digitally. ...I wish I knew how to make lineless pictures. My computer is too damn slow for me to put up with making the edges of things perfect. Arg.  The background is a paint-over of a photograph from ~blackrose156 here's the link: [link] I would have asked to use it beforehand, but I thought it was stockart (90% of the time when I look for photographs, I have it set on stockart) ..I guess this time I had it set on photography and I didn't realize it until just right now. Sorry 'bout that blackrose.  I'll accept critiques, sure. Just don't be too harsh. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Time: 3 hours for drawing/10-15 hours for color? Medium: Originally pencil for lines and photoshop for coloring. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE, CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN, TRACE, STEAL, SELL, OR OTHERWISE REDISTRIBUTE THIS PIECE! My watermark sucks. I need a new one. |

Exhausted, without the strength to search
people vanish into the infinite darkness.
As we live on,
we lose a little bit more.
Shrouded in falsehoods and lies,
we stand frozen to the spot, unable to cry out
Happy to hear that the final outcome was worth it, though.

Originally, the wings were about 30% smaller, but I made them bigger. I think this was as big as I could make them without screwing up the composition, though.
Thank you for the comment, Arfy. :]

Well, it's a paintover. That basically means that you lay the photograph down in photoshop and then eyedrop colors from it and paint over the photograph itself on another layer. Of course, I'm not really experienced in paintovers so I had to do a lot of it myself (since I didn't setup the layers right... blah blah blah)
I also tried to not make it a -perfect- match to the original photograph so on lot of it, I just took the general shape of a cloud(and it's colors) and then mixed the colors as I saw fit. Took quite a while, but not as much as if I had made the clouds completely from memory. I'm not good at clouds XP
