Hi! I finaly got this one done and am I proud of it!

Firt of, let me intreduce you to my own charecter, Mikomi whitch means "hope" in japanise. This doujinshi has a slight of melancoly to it because she is remebering somting from her past, someting that makes her bought happy and sad, and I hope the colors I use are apropriete.

This perticular work took me almost a week to complete: 1 day drawing, 2 days coloring, 3days for making the background and imagining a foregrground plus 1 more day for actualy making the foreground.

I could have vectored Mikomi ore use hard color brushes for her, but that didn't seme right. I liked her schetch soo mucth and how the pencil shading came aught that it whas a shame to cover it all. So, I used all my knolages so far and a layer over another, change the opicity, add a litle more efects here and there, work a litle whit your regular photoshop brushes and here she is. I think I did a prety good job, don't you think so?

The background and foreground whas a problem thounght. Mostly the part were I had to color all the cherry blossomes (yes, they were all done by hand). First I tried to give it a night tone, but I didn't like the way it turned ought. But I loved the whay it whas when I used this girly-pink tone. A couple of efects, some sparcles, ocasional whigt and here's the result! Just like in stories: flowers that apper to glow ... but not stong enaf so I added a couple of sun rays.

The foreground has another proble. I made 5 other foregrounds before I decided this one whas the perfect one. I don't think you wont to know what exactely I did, now do you?

Well, that's just abought it. Now I tink it's time forthe credits and all that ...

    My God! What a nice work! I like the colors and the bg is amazing, so detail. I like the clock on the right and the ray of light on the left side. I'm sure dianas is gonna love it ;)

    Wow! I like how this one turned out. I like the character in here because she matches very well with the background. :) Well I think that there was a lot of detail you put in here, but some of the picture are quite faded so it's hard to see. Plus the details you added are quite blurry so it's hard to kind of distinct them. still the drawing of the character is very nice. Your an artist. I just can't draw at all. >.<

    Nice one! ...although it's a little bit too crowded for my tastes ^_^'

    I agree with Odeena... seems a little too crowded for my taste, but that doesn't mean it's not a stellar doujin! I absolutely love the cherry blossoms and the colors that you used. The only thing that could use some work is the position of her right arm. It seems a little out of proportion with the upper part of her arm being almost twice as long as the lower part of her arm. But overall, a lovely doujin! Like Melisandre said, I'm sure dianas is going to love it! XD Keep up the great work!

    woaaa este grozav sincera sa fiu totdeauna m-ai surprins cu stilul tau original
    mai ales bg-urile pe care le faci desprinse ca din basme..mie mie se pare relaxant si faptul ca fata este desenata de tine mi se pare si mai incitant
    tonurile de culori sunt calde si pastelate exact cum imi plac si mie
    incocenta asta pe care o transpui in wallpaper si atmosfera magica fac ca lucrarile tale sa aiba un farmec mai deosebit
    sa nu te i-ei dupa nimeni draga mea fiecare cu parerile lui si cu gusturile lui
    eu zic ca este reusit si merita cat mai multa atentie am ramas uimita sa vad ca imi este dedicat
    este deosebit dupa parerea mea si iti mutumesc mult pentru gestul sincer pe care l-ai facut
    am sa il adaug pe pagina mea ca lumea care ma cunoaste si care ne cunoaste sa iti admire talentul
    #hugles# u made my day it was a very nice surprize..because I`ved just camed from Pliesti from my grandother..se pare ca o sa petrec pastele pe acolo :) asa ca am lipsit vreao cateva zile
    si eram curioasa sa vad noutatile
    esti o scumpica si sper sa vb cat de curand..

    Tine-o tot asa!
