When the End
So near, but so far away you'll forever be
locked within my heart, presence in the air the melody
So far but so close we stay we shall never be
lost within our hearts
the phantom star, we both will see
But when the end comes will it take it all away?
sweeping our memories, erasing time that we so much shared
when the end comes everything fade away
don't let it come undone within our hearts let it stay
even when...
In darkness we seek for light though it may never be
someday we might find the sky we long so much to see
Hopeless, we still can believe
tomorrow will find its way
to the key of life the flame withing us we believe
But when the end comes will it take it all away?
sweeping our memories, erasing time that we so much shared
when the end comes everything fade away
don't let it come undone within our hearts let it stay
even when...
Reach out, out towards the distant night
engrave the seed of life in our hearts
so deep that we dream of it
Fear not, the future awaits us
even if fate shall take our soul
we two shall unite as one
But when the end comes
hold you in my arms and I will take all of your pain away
hold on our memories, rebuilding time that we so much will share
the end comes
we'll find each other bound by our soul only our pain can fade away
don't let it come undone within our hearts let it stay
even when...
I can't believe I finished it!
so, Kayurachan, how do you like my uke XD? everyone know I LOVE Nitro+ artworks! so when I saw this gorgeous scan I though "lets commit suicide!".
to recreate missing part of scan I used this image from artbook (scanner sucks!)
saving .psd was horror. my 512 RAM couldn't handle 127 MB file so I have to
split vector into 3 separate files. for outlines, coloring Konoe and coloring tree.
when I managed to finish outlines (they are colored!) the nightmare started.
first I planned to color all tree but after filling main part of tree I gave up and started Konoe. I was "jumping" from one part to another. coat was hardcore and skin made me confused. so weird way of shading!
only background was easy, took me 1,5h (it was middle of night and I was exhausted).
enjoy samples of outlines and colored Konoe/tree
I'm very grateful for Madoshi-chan support. she know I'm vectoring it (I up dated her with progress) and cheered with compliments. Big Hug to Kashikosa-kun for encouraging. sometimes I was close to abandoning project. coloring tree was nightmare. I don't have tablet so every shading effects were achieved with mouse.
the title is from Lamento wonderful ending song by gifted Itou Kanako and Watanabe Kazuhiro. you can listen to it here.
original dimension: 3335 x 4741
Konoe outlines: 24 (gradient used on 4)
tree outline: 7
Konoe color layers: about 230 (40%
gradient)
tree color layers: about 140 (80%
gradient)
moon background layers: 8
total: 387
fun part: moon, sword/sheath, tail
horror part: hair, skin, coat, shirt, tree
time: 21.12.2007 - 20.01.2008 midnight (really!)
announcement! I'm taking looong vacation from vectors. my exams started plus this one thrilled me enough for some time.
