This is the image that has been keeping me from drawing anything else because I had to get this done first. 8| So you can imagine how long this has been in my queue, and how busy I have been with school to not get around to it. Besides that, I waited way too long to finish this one, I think it's my longest production time yet, and I am not proud of that.

Anyway, on to the image description:
Reiji wanted a commission of herself and Hida flying together, basically. I made it look like Hida was kind of flying around wondering where Reiji went and then she comes flying up from behind the cloud, as if she was hiding. I really wanted to play with that idea so I could have some dramatic lighting to work with. Reiji is coming up from behind the cloud so the setting sun is catching her form and lighting it up. Hida is still in the shadow so he isn't as brilliant.

I had no references for that kind of lighting scene so I was kind of just coloring what would make sense to me. I am pretty proud of how it came out, and my only qualms are that the clouds don't really sink into the image like they are participating in the scene. They just look like a background image. I think it is because they are so blurry, but when you are that close to a cloud, they are anything but crisp and clear, they would probably be more blurry than that even. So I was kind of stuck, but it gets the point across. I am sure it is just my style... anyway enough about that.

I really enjoyed making this once I sat down and really cracked down on it.
