~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit 1/19/08: Finally, June v2. is done! I spent probably another 10 hours on this picture in Photoshop Elements 4.0. No further references were used.

I took many of your critiques into consideration as I repainted and added a lot more detail, I hope you like it much better!

You can compare it with the old version: [link]

No need to re-comment, but of course, you are always welcome to. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note 1/20/08: Ok, apparently the reference image website changed its url, and I can't find them anymore. Just know that I credit Laurenstudios for their "moon reflecting on water" images.

Reference images from here (broken link): [link]

Characters are mine.

Halfway done with the Months Series! :heart:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From now on, I'll credit at the top, since it's important.

This was a difficult image to do, mainly because I painted without any lines to define shapes. First try at a mood and atmosphere with a proper background.

An explanation: June is the cooler of the hot summer months we get, so I wanted to depict a summer night by the sea. The sea holds a lot of charm for me, mystical and silent. The glows and dragon show the mystery I adore.

Note: In case anyone is reading this again, I'll be re-painting the image due to many useful critiques, I'll be resubmitting this soon. :)

Time: At least 10 hours, good grief
Process:
-Sketch on printer paper, pencil
-All painted in GIMP

I must note that I *just* found out the pressure sensitivity for GIMP doesn't work on Mac OS X correctly; more pain for me. :dead:


Months in Series:

January: Frostbitten

February: Lovestruck

March: Awakened

April: Drizzling

May: Blossomed

June: Rippling

July: Illusionary

It's called constructive criticism.

I only wish I had more to say about it, but really the picture's beauty speaks for itself this looks like it belongs on a poster for some fantasy movie or something.

Too many compliments will make my head explode...:blushes: Goodness, a movie poster? I'm not nearly up to their standards, but as long as you like the picture, I'm happy. :heart:

:love: Thank you so much dear! Time should scale with quality, I could've worked it a bit more but I'm sick of it as of now. :D
