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.

It's beautiful D: The lighting still looks realistic and I think it's what adds to the emotion of the rest of the piece. Really sweet ]: <3
:iconnestly:
Nestly: Ohhhh, how nice. <3 This is a very beautiful piece Airu. I love the deep purple colors and these creatures. The wings remind me of bat wings; so coooool. The way you faded the border in with the picture is a nice touch too. :3

I love the lighting especially. And the clouds look great; I think they fit in the scene fine. XD

The only little part that bothers me is that blue lineart ya used for Reiji's wing webbing. I don't know exactly why, maybe because it doesn't seem as well blended as everything else. I might suggest using a color a little darker then the main color of the webbing, or just fade the blue tint into the rest of the wing..? O: Whatever- I'm probably the only one who'd notice something like that. xD
But well done overall! <3 I haven't seen you submit something that I was really blown away with in a while now.
