Artist's Comments

"Ah, my old friend bird, it's been many a moon since I've seen you last."
"We've been anticipating you. It's been a harsh winter: you have no idea how much we've longed for your presence, Spring."

Yay, dialouge. >>

PLEASE COMMENT BEFORE YOU FAVE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY YOU LIKE THE PIECE.

Kiriban picture for ~Nimdi-Nilin. It's her character who represents spring and..... some random bird thing. It's robin-based, but it's not a robin. :/

I've been working on this all weekend. I finished tweaking the sketch on Friday, and I've been coloring it all Saturday/Sunday. The original is much more vivid than the one here just to let you know. I think I need to get another scanner: the one I have now always dims my colors and ruins my contrast. D'oh! >.<

Anyway, I decided to use a piece of really heavy-duty cardstock for this one. The original color of it is more of a brownish/reddish/purpleish color. I was pretty scared to use the thing at first (it was textured, it was a dark color) but it seemed to have worked out fine. The character's colors match it pretty well if I do say so myself. XD

Thanks to everyone who gaves me critiques on the sketch, by the way. Big thanks go out to =skysealer and ~Lunaries. :D

c= It came out really nicely Pash. The colors are pretty vibrant here. <3
but if you ever want to try and fix it, use the color balance thing on PS x:

Augh, amazing! I love how the wings are green-tipped for some reason, and the blending... wonderful. The musculature on the leg's really nice, though I wish a little more of the detail you put there also made it onto the arms.

I'm sorry I didn't comment on the sketch :x There's no excuse, really. I just haven't commented much on anybody's work lately. Something about laziness >>;

Don't try to keep thinking pessimistic thoughts. You will run out.

Avatar by =Foxchibi. She's pretty cool like that.

That's pretty awesome! =)

Elements doesn't have a color balance thing. Well, it does, but it's not nearly as good as the one on plain old PS. D;

Thanks. I still think the original looks a lot better, though. Maybe I should take a digital picture of it?
but my camera sucks too. Poo. :[
