Wow, this is really nice! First of all I love sunsets (obsessed is more like it) so that's what caught my eye first. Then there's the painting of the background, which looks great, and the realistic touch of gold on everything is beautiful. My favourite painted thing, however, is the girl. You did a great job on her. I don't like To-LOVE-Ru but I'm a fan of Haruna's character design. Overall nice work ^^

This scan of the girl was patiently sitting and waiting stored somewhere in my psd folders to be finished and a few days ago I finally did finish vectoring and coloring it.
Everything else you see was painted from the scratch - the mountains, the sky, the sea (well, it looks more like a bay XD), the lighthouse, land, stairs and railings.
And yes, I nearly pulled out all of my hair while working on it. What can you do when your brain demands a nice little, picturesque sunset background and won't go for anything else...
Anyway, I know the shadows suck - I tried using some reference for them, but no matter how many times I tried, they always looked retarded so I guess this is the best I could come up with. -_-;
Added some textures and brushes later, as well as a few birds flying around to avoid the blankness in the left corner (bird brushes are from DA...I forgot from where exactly... >.>). Then I smoothed the shadows a bit, added more mountains and accentuated some edges on them and the sea and added more depth to them by adding more color. And also fixed some lighting mistakes on the girl.
This was pretty much a painting practice, so please excuse the crappy colors of the water and mountains. Hopefully, it will be better next time. :3
So, that's about it. I hope you like. Comments (and faves) are welcome! XD
