Description EDIT: Fired the dithering for glorious backshades. I also color counted- there are 62.

As in the song Hoppípolla, by Sigur Rós. (lol I did copy those because I was too lazy to find the accent alt codes). It's one of my most favorite songs EVAR.

I looked at the [translated] lyrics and it sort of just stuck as at the time I first learned of the song, I was really big into Chessshipping. (Not that I'm not now, but ya know.)

SO I started this ages ago and just finished it today. God only knows why I didn't finish it earlier, because I only had a few hours left of work to do (would have finished earlier today had my computer not froze when I was doing Black and White).

But it's done and I'm decently happy with it. Don't ask me how many colors there are in it because I really don't know, but If I were to hazard a guess I'd say probably 72 tops. I wish the puddle they were standing in had turned out better, but oh, well. Live and learn.

The accompanying story, of the same set of drabbles as that other one I drew, which I may upload soon:

16. Puddles

Getting Black outside was sometimes close to impossible, a fact White knew well. It came as a great surprise to her when he actually did want to go out (okay, more like he didn’t put up the normal fight) during one of his least favorite times: after a rainstorm.
The weather was surprisingly warm and the sun made coronas around billowy clouds, but the true beauty of the scene was the two teenagers twirling each other around in a puddle in the middle of the road.


Uh-huh.

Oh, you. XD

Seriously, the hardest part was dithering the sky, which can't even be seen. I used a tablet, slopped around, cleaned up the slop a little and ta-da! Cool pic. :0

I think it just takes some cleverness and laziness. The hardest part was dithering the sky, which can't even be seen.

Haha, I wouldn't know. Glorious keyboard!
There's probably some number lock key that would make them behave like a keypad where you can use alt codes.

I don't wanna sound rude but...I think I like the background more than the two in the picture itself...

And in compairison the people don't really match the style, either...ANYWAY...lol

I like it none the less.

JelloJolteon2000 In reply to QueenKami [2011-08-29 01:20:08 +0000 UTC]

LOL, no offense taken!

...Because I agree wholeheartedly. I really want to blame the angle of the light because it was hard to shade and keep in style. I'm thinking about adding backlights to offset that at the cost of more colors. More colors would probably be in style anyhow, instead of the God-awful dithering. XD

And thanks anyhow. :3

I've never been a big fan of dithering in the first place... >u<;;

Yeah, I use dithering every once in a while but rarely. And if I do it's a small area.
Then there's something people who use it as a MAIN SHADING THING and it bothers me.
