Description *Awoke from deep slumber*
*Yawn*
...great to be back.

Heya! It's been quite some time since my last upload on dA, hasn't it? Nope, I wasn't being lazy or any of that sort (maaybee). I was busy spending the last 2 months focusing my time on my final semester, so I didn't really have the chance to start a new piece.
Anyhow, last week was my final papers, which means I now finally have the time to get back to painting. It's going to take some time for me to get use to it again though...

Starting commissions soon. Check the front page for updates
(Wow Aeron, is that all you have to say to your awesome watchers after being gone for this long? Bad Aeron...)

Nothing says harmony like warm and cool colours combined. I think I might stick to this colour references for sometimes, maybe as a study, if you will.

the only critique about this picture is that it's not fitting the surrounding deviantART. it would look MUCH better on my wall

Nerd here. The particular shape these clouds are taking is caused by a winged body traveling through at high speed. I figure Rainbow Dash didn't feel like waiting and Derpy is feeling a little left out.

How's that nerdy?

Catboy85 In reply to aJVL [2013-03-02 03:58:21 +0000 UTC]

Only that the first thing my brain latched onto was exactly what fluid dynamics were involved to create that particular shape in the clouds. Instead of just appreciating the color balance that you used, or the feeling that it inspires, or even the technique used, I go strait for the nerd.

Also is it just me, or does Derpy not have a mouth?

Me too! Clouds seem to captivate me a lot. Although, the clouds here still lacks some forms and detailing work.

This picture is very fascinating it gives me a sense of curiosity and depth as well as loneliness and sadness i personally love it. Its amazingly well done and gives me a sense of joy as well as everything else. Derpy looks so sad and helpless and just makes me want to cuddle her . all in all its an amazing piece and reminds me of a dream i had once best i ever slept although i don't remember Derpy being in it if this was in an art gallery i would go to those places more often great job and i doubt i could do any better i applaud you.
