Description
Okay... this is my first try at making a regular Sora pic pretty with an interesting layer-induced background.I'm still sloppy with my layers (I.E. forgetting to change them so I'm in the RIGHT one...) but getting the hang of em!
I was mostly experimenting with the grass textures and the lighting and stuff. I know it sucks. The sky isn't the best either, but you know what? I don't give a fig!
The grass would have been better if not for the weird lighting. I tried two diff methods and neither is quite right, though I didn't want to have it totally normal looking. So it is what it is.
All in all dun look too bad. PROBABLY should have made Sora lineless, but I REALLY didn't feel like it. As it is, it took forever!

Yeah, layers suck! I have a hard time remembering every single one because in the end you have...like....50 different ones! >.<
But it looks great to me! Keep up the *superuberhypermegaawesome* work XD

Heh thanks! They do definitely beat having to construct a background in a totally separate image, and then having it not match up and having to either make do or redo it though!

-pokes his cheek- Hehe...
But this reminds me of the very beginning of Chain of Memories, (or perhaps the very end of KH?) where Sora is standing on... that... road... yeah.

Hehe I thought of that but I did too many dark moonlightish ones so I thought I'd do a sunset one!

Something about Sora's facial profile is striking me as off, but other than that I think the pic is gorgeous! I love the coloring in the sky and the grass came out great!

It might be the lighting on his cheek... shading and highlighting peachy skin tones is HORROR!!! Yes, I said it XoP
His nose was giving me some trouble but I thought I cleaned it up pretty well, considering I had to tweak it on the computer.
I am fairly happy with the sky if I do say so myself, though the grass irks me still LOL It's the stupid lighting on the grass, mostly.

Layer changing is confusing. I did a pretty good job til I was trying to embellish the grass XoP
