Description FINALLY DONE! Sheeeeeeesh, it took forever! This is my entry into 's spring contest (it can be found here ) which I think I finished in time but I'm not sure. I worked really hard on it.

The characters I used here are Hina, Tenyu and Fei. And the concept... well Hina loves spring. For two big reasons... actually I'm lucky because spring is relevant to Hina so I was always going to do her for this contest. To her, spring is a time where you can try again. Because it's the beginning of a new year you can mend what you broke and begin on a new and better foot. In a way, me putting Tenyu and Fei in the background is saying that considering she doesn't really get along with them but after a while she feels differently so when spring comes along she can mend what she ruined. It's also a time when flowers bloom and being an herbalist, she adores this time. Even the apples in her basket kinda have meaning... because her hair is apple-red and she's always hated that... but she does get used to it. And she likes apples - that too.xD

I really wanted to get across the pretty nature sort of vibe so I tried a lot of things. I worked rea-lly hard.xD Like on the basket. I had no idea how to do the basket weave but I attempted it too.

I think I did great on the shading though - especially on Tenyu's robe! The anatomy's okay... I guess... her hand throws me off. Could be better. And Fei~ well I just enjoy drawing him anyway because he's cute. Out of all them though Tenyu turned out the best I think. Somehow he just looks really... pretty and cool... xD

Enjoy! Hope you guys like it!

I'm so glad! The light effects were the hardest to do... well that and background in general.

You do? Thank you so much, I'm very happy to hear that!

Lookin' lovely, Prim! I like the background the most, there's just something about the sunlight that shines in the garden that makes everything seem so surreal. c:

I also like how you tried out many different poses for the three characters. You've gone a long way since I first knew you as an artist, dear Prim. (:

Best of luck with the contest, I'm sure you'll score a place in the host's heart if not anywhere else.

You like it? I'm so glad. To be honest, the background's what I spent the most time on so I'm quite glad that I've.

;u; That means a lot to me! Thanks! I'm always trying out new things and the poses... well, I didn't like the idea of just having them stand around so yeah.xD

Haha, awww, that's so sweet, thank you!

Wow, this is lovely ! The background looks awesome, and this is a very nice idea for a spring contest ! All the sun makes them all look so shiny ! Finally, those apples look scrumptous, which makes it a shame that I don't like apples ! Thanks so much for your lovely entry !!!

PrimroseMoon In reply to brooke9000 [2010-04-27 08:36:45 +0000 UTC]

Aww, yay! I'm so glad you like it! I spent ages thinking about what I'd do and how to make it as impressive as possible.xD Especially the background!

And I'm glad you like the apples, they were done without lineart so it was new for me. Shame you don't like eating them though.xD And you're welcome, I already said I liked the idea of the contest anyway! C:
