Dark Side of the Rainbow

Full View

Dark colors that surround the sadness of my heart,
the blood of my pain is cold and thick. Over on the other
side I can't see the lights that are multi colored, my eyes can't stand
the different changes of light and dark that are on the other side.
What is on that side? is that where my happiness it?
Colors that have lost
their happiness, their reality are
shown only on the dark side of the Rainbow...I've lost my happiness,
my reality, my colors.

Another original done, this one took me awhile and I almost
dropped her but Maple cheered me a bit more to try again and continue.
She was done in 2 days, outlining was difficult since her body is
a bit of a weird nature than usual. In the full vector her legs
are closer than the rest of her body so it looked kinda weird
but once colored it looked much better.

The back ground was all done in one day, painted it
all and used brushes to help around as well. Now that I look at her
more she reminds me of the other girl I made -
Bleeding Love
Guess you can call them sisters...

The blood on her represents her pain, sadness, failure,
disappointments all having you do with her heart.

EDD!

Edit: Removed the mountains, lowered the leaves and lessened them.
Calmed the water, made the left side darker and turned the mountains into
slightly visible clouds. Thanks Maple for the help.

Edit (again): More colors in the grass, Thanks Yina on AP for
the help.

    Yay, I'm glad you didn't give up on her ^^ The vector looks good, I esp like her expression :)

    The painting looks okay, I like the different colours you used for the sky. Though I think you overused the smudge brush a little bit, esp in those mountains in the back. Also, I think the top left of the sky is a bit too dark too suddenly, it should be a more gradual transition from the dark left side to the lighter right side. The dark patch just looks too dark and too sudden, which makes it look out of place. Finally, I don't think you need the blurr effect on the floating leaf brushes, they make the leaves look like they're sitting on top of the wallpaper, and their shadow is being casted onto the wallpaper ^^;;;

    Anyway, nice work Kit-chan :)

    Again, I knew this was made by you... <33
    First... gimme the texture you used *_* I've been looking for something noisy like that.
    I like the background a lot in this one, especially the sky. You used many tones of blue and they blend nicely. I think the water looks a little strange, but the blur used on the leaves is nice, signifies motion (that's why it's called motion blur XD)
    I also like the blood, it looks so real.
    XD lol, her mascara is dripping.

    Oh my gosh, for me! I might cry ;_; *Holds it in*
    I don't even know where to start to tell you how much I love it ^^ The sky, it's gorgeous. I love the different colours you used, and the way you smudged it. As always, your grass is gorgeous, and I like the way the mountains are blurry. And the texture is love. This is another one of those walls with such an emotional atmosphere.
    Now the vector. My favourite part is probably her face. Her expression, and the way you covered half of it with her hair, it's wonderful. The way she's leaning to the side shows her struggle, and of course there's the blood, representing her pain. And the paragraph you wrote at the top there is not helping me hold the tears in ^_^' Losing your colours, your happiness...
    And she really does remind me of the girl from Bleeding Love; I guess they are sister ^^
    Thank you so much for this Kitten-chan, it means so much to me <33

    my comment's gonna suck compared to the previous ones but oh well ^_^'
    I'm a bit speechless here, specially because of that text you wrote at top.
    It's something I can relate to and I can really feel the emotion coming from your work.
    I think the blood is looking great, it shows her pain very well just like her expression.

    You sure seem to like blood. XD
    The vector is good (yay for brown outlines) and I really like the bg. I don't know how the grass looked before your edit but now it looks really awesome.

    Wow that's so.... tragic. Though I gotta admit it's really nice especially for Ash! :) Really love how the background turned out here. o.o
