Description Art Trade with *EmilyTC
Watch that girl! Her art is awesome, just like her character!

I can't believe I finally finished it. o_o
This actually really took me forever. I think it even took me longer than my last picture 'Flying High Through The Sky '.
First of all, I couldn't resist taking this name. I got the idea some time during the time worked on it. Black and white! xDD
Actually this is the first time for me to draw Shadow. At least since I started here on DA xD
But I really can say, I'm pretty satisfied with it!
And I like this couple! >w< So cute! <33
By the way, I'm not sure... it might happen that I'll recolor this picture or just redo the background if I feel like it because I'm getting my tablet soon and maybe... when I get a little practise with it. Can't tell yet lol

For all those who want to download the original sized picture: BEWARE! It's huge!

__About the Picture:__There's not much to say about the sketch... kinda like all my other sketches lol xDD
Let's start as usual: Coloring!
It was kinda fun drawing those spots on Emily's fur. The rest of coloring went just as normal. For the highlights in Emily's hair i just grabbed the dodge tool and played around with it. And I really liked the result. It reminds me of northern lights xDD so shiny °o°
At the moment dodge tool is my best friend! HAH! xDD
The big problem for me was the background. Especially the pond. I admit that I used many effects and brushes, but not only. Especially not for the bridge. All in all it was still hard work for me.
The bridge is kinda flat... we have such a bridge in our garden. over our pond lol xD so actually I slightly used our garden as reference. But only for the pond and bridge.
Characters and background might look a bit weird together since Shadow is standing days higher than Emily. But I though of something like a wall Shadow's standing on, or a hill where Emily's kneeling and Shadow standing next to her with the "garden" in their back. I leave it up to you. ^^

Das sieht total schön aus
Die Posen und auch die Colo sind echt genial gelungen ^--^
Der Hintergrund sieht auch schön aus. Versuche mal bei google ein paar grasses and plant brushes zu finden. Damit kann man beim Hintergrund oft tricksen 8D

MariahAcorn In reply to Dj-Reverberance [2007-07-16 21:14:31 +0000 UTC]

aww lol dankeschön ^__^
naja.... hab ja schon einiges an brushes und die sind auch recht gut aber naja... eigentlich würde ich auch gerne mal was ohne hinkriegen ._.
Kimiko hat letztens wieder so eine hirnlose Behauptung losgelassen.. dass Anne's colo nur aus Filtern, Brushes und anderen Effekten besteht... das stimmt überhaupt nicht >< aber auf meine BGs trifft das eher zu ._. mehr ist das ja auch nicht .-.

Dj-Reverberance In reply to MariahAcorn [2007-07-16 21:48:54 +0000 UTC]

Stimmt auch wieder XD Vielleicht kann man auch selbst versuchen ein paar Brushes zu machen.
Meine Faulheit erlaubt es mir nicht schöne Hintergründe am Computer zu zeichnen. Auf dem Papier ist das irgendwie alles einfacher o.o

MariahAcorn In reply to Dj-Reverberance [2007-07-16 22:12:53 +0000 UTC]

Mit den Grafiktablets kann man schon eine Menge anfangen. Anfangs sind sie gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber nach ner Zeit
geht das Zeichnen damit richtig gut ^-^
