Commission - Ravekitten 02

Dying in the Shadows...

Commission for *ravekitten.

So, I learned a really cool and quick way to render brick and brick like textures while I did this. Ialso learned that colors just kind of vanish at night. (I spent a lot of time outside looking at my neighbors flower pots). And! Drawing dying/dead flowers is pretty complex. The way the petals fall and shrivel up... I have never spent so much time on Google. Anyway, I was trying to show the character using her abilities in a very subtle way... Just know you never want her shadow to fall over you... >_>;;.

So, okay, here's one of the biggest reason it's taken me forever to finish commissions. I felt like my art was lame. I decided to break away from the standards (for me) of a character standing there looking cool with HINTS of a background. Boringness to the max is what my art was becoming. Boring on top of extra lame!

So I went all out. Full blown illustration/animation looking type stuff. I figured if I can do a comic page with panels full of art like this, what's one stand alone piece? I like the idea of a single piece telling a story. I'm very proud of myself and I hope *ravekitten likes this XD;; She'll be seeing it for the first time whenever she gets on to dA today.
