Description
Birthday present for of his girl Niti, a silver fox lady.If I would ever get such a present...... I was literally working my ass off on this picture and showing my computer it's limits. Original resolution of 6400x3600 and numerous layers, blended into each other. My computer needed a while for opening and saving the file, when it was close to being completed. Meanwhile the PSD file was 400MB big. But well, all the effort was worth it, one of my best pictures so far, especially with that background. And if somebody might doubt it: The background was fully hand drawn, I am also amazed by that amount of realism.
Anyway, I wanted to get this done for Matt's birthday, but since my company is employing freaking unreliable people, right after having started the picture, I got loaded with work and having very little free time every day. I was using all the remaining time for working on this picture, everything else got paused - my apartment looks like shit and is in the middle of some modification work. Well, when I really set a priority, it is actual No.1
Now getting back to normal life, it's sick, I feel like at the time when I was working on this here almost 10 years back. And even though this picture here didn't take as much time, it looks a LOT better. But no miracle, natural improvement.
While work was doing it's best to demotivate me, I found awesome music that kept me running and running. I basically kept the first few minutes of those 2 tracks running in loops for hours:

Heavy Metal and Hard Rock. If I would ever draw a picture of God, he would hold a guitar.

Aaaand here's another piece of god tier art once more added in the collection!
I'm all too fascinated seeing the sun showing such color in times of sunrise and sunset, feels like it brings in quite more beautiful atmosphere into the environment. And this one REALLY looks hundred times better that way. Very much indeed...
And I guess I can as well say, it was about damn good time to you've made another one of these now again with your better knowledge of making such immensely detailed artwork. Like, with how the sun shines in this picture for example, I heavily adore its effect that gives to it. I couldn't tell how you did that, but you've done an amazing job at making it look so realistic either way! And sure with the whole overall background too.Β It's always so impressive to see much detailed background picture like that at every once in a long, long while! It's freakin' sweet.

Yes, I rarely do backgrounds, because they are a damned lot of work. Giving the fact, that they usually only are optional elements surrounding the main aspect of the picture, I don't feel for them. And often I simply don't get a desired background done, so I leave it out.
This here turned out so well, because the background is simpler, than it looks. It nothing but a bit of sky and then nothing but rocks. And this whole scenery turned out so well and realistic because of my logic thinking. I don't often draw mountains, but designing it's surface is simple when you take their creation logically. Same counts for handling light and shading. I am a fan of working with light and shadow, and I understand the dynamics of them. Along with the realistic blur of the background, as if shot with a good camera objective. The picture would lose a lot of it's nice looks, if the background was fully sharp. Because of a lack of depth and the mountains would look artificial. If you care to see, I could either send you the PSD of the picture, but which is really sick, or send you alternative versions, where I take off some simple effects - which are giving a whole different look of the whole scene. But still, this here is the best version of all possible ones.

Nah, it's okay. It's not much I would care about seeing the different versions of this one. I do like it best with the blur on anyway. ^^

If you like fox girls, I've got one that I think you'll like. Not asking you for free art or nothing, I'm just in a sharing mood, you know?
And as of now, some friends and I have a wiring project underway. And we're trying to comprise the cast exclusively of OC's. So if you'd be interested in that, we could totally talk that over too
π: 0 β©: 1
I checked your profile and I think you are a person worth talking to =3 We both know, that counts for the smallest amount of people on the dirty internet. And I am little jealous of you, as I love the States and seeing that you are living in the area of NY. I still got to see the cities of all cities, maybe even in 2017 already. Having never been to the east cost yet.
Anyway, about your message, feel free to spam me. You didn't really tell me any details about both things, I want to know more. Do it here or via note. However you like better =3

Glad you think that, at least I like to come off as a guy worth talking to. Friends are real nice things to have, I oughta know. And yeah, I've called the Empire State home as long as I've been alive. And I'm damn glad that's the case.
And yeah, I'll send you a note real soon. I think you'll like it too

My whatsapp message to you about this is not sending, If you don't get it I'll type it out for you. But seriously, you crazy fucking bastard, you went to this much trouble for me? Jesus Christ on a flaming motorcycle, I have no idea what to say, this is so huge! I don't have a clue how to say thank you for this... I'm just so stunned. Fuck! Niti's so fucking gorgeous in your style! Oh my God!
... ded.

Funny, usually Whatsapp doesn't hold back any messages from me...... Maybe it's because of the phone laying there for hours, not being used, because I was busy with the picture XD And I really didn't expect to finish it today, but even better, getting some relaxing tomorrow.
Yeah, don't ask me what's going on with me. I have this weird perfection-virus, where I cannot hold back but put whatever necessary into my work to make it look optimal. It may be crazy, but that's an essential element, that will lead to me to major success in life. I am a workaholic. Not for my job, which doesn't mean anything to me but making money for financing the necessary stuff of life - like a computer to work on :b When I am at a project that has a meaning for me, I am not working at 50%. And I remember I didn't have a picture for you last year, while I knew you would so desire one. I couldn't let you down this time =3
Anyway, funny thing though is: My starting idea that I wanted to work out was her sitting at the beach. It was a whole different pose, so I can't recall how I switched over to this motive. But good that I did, because the beach thing would have been awesome too, but this here is just..... another level. And finally I managed to get something done with atmosphere. That's usually not my sweet spot.
I wanted to add some realistic details to the picture, like a water bottle and maybe a backpack sitting next to her. But those things would have been hardly visible in the dark shadow and would have a bad effect on the harmony of the picture, so I let it go.
And you don't have to do anything for this. I am one of the few artists out there, that don't work for material benefits. The joy of others about my pictures is my own joy. And I beliefe your joy is currently going through the roof :b

I think the only thing that would make this better would to have the opportunity to buy a print of this and put it on my wall. A nice, huge print. But that'd come later, I would need more money.
Also, I read your message, but I'm still so shocked in disbelief that I can't process a response for it right now. I might do that in the morning over Whatsapp in voice message if it isn't too long.
π: 0 β©: 1
Shocked in disbelief? What, can't you take it for being real and first need to wake up and see it's still there? XD Well, I would probably be the same if receiving a major artwork from somebody. But I can't remember, that it ever happened before.......
You know what? When you want this on your wall, we could make this a little more special. I have a high quality copy shop in my town. I could print it out for you, put my signature on it and send it over. Don't worry about the money, I got me a major raise and will make 500 bucks more a month now. Let me know about that.
And I can't belief I am still writing over my phone, while it's 4.30am here XD So damned tired, but nothing important to do tomorrow anymore, so I can sleep until............ whenever XD

I am quite shocked. I didn't expect such a massive gift, I can't believe this is a real thing. Can't keep staring at it. I am ALMOST a little worried I'm dreaming really well, cuz the rest of this evening has also been quite fantastic. Fuck!
Oh? Are we talking like a poster? That would be fucking amazing. And that way I could buy a frame of my own to suit it perfectly. And the fact you'd pay for it makes me even more inclined to say yes. You're just spoiling me too much. x3

I know this feeling, had it too in the past to be fearing, that I am dreaming. But realizing every day sitting at the computer, I have not dreamed about that XD
Sending you a printed version would finish the whole present-thing in a material way =3 The costs are nothing to worry about. I will only wait for a week until my next cheque comes in. So give me your desired measurements, I can have it printed at any size. Since it's another week, you could check a frame first, and I'd print it by it's measurements. And then I only need your full adress, send it to me as note here.
π: 0 β©: 1
Should I look for a frame in metric? Or does the shop take imperial?
π: 0 β©: 1
Take your measurements. Just select any frame you like, recalculating the measurements to metric is no mentionable business. And if that wasn't easy enough already, I can set imperial measurements in Photoshop too <^.^>
π: 0 β©: 1
I found a frame that's 18 x 10 inches, you'll have to chop a tiny bit off the top and bottom to fit it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I will not shop off anything, because I couldn't know if I cut off the right amount. You will do that later, should be no problem. I don't know how the frame looks that you picked, but if the front surface covers a bit of the picture being put in, that would require a slightely smaller print, or cutting off a little more of the edge. So what is essentially necessary are the measurements of the front "window" of the frame, which are letting through the picture.
Oh and another important thing that comes to my mind: would you like only a signature on it, or a line of inscription? And do you want this in a front corner of the picture, or on the back side?
And even another thing that comes to my head at the very moment writing this: I am sending the picture in a cardboard pipe, rolled together. That will leave space in the middle for small objects. So is there something you would care to get from the continent, that would fit in there? Anything? I also have bubble wrap to put in there too, so that possible additional objects would not harm the picture.

Actually, I already made a version to fit to the frame in Paint.net, and it takes so little off the top and bottom it's not even noticeable. I took a look at the frame, and it does not appear to obscure more than .25 inches. I took that much off of each edge of the image just to see what it might look like in the frame, and it still looks completely fine, you can't notice there's stuff under it. So I don't see there being an issue on that end.
Just a signature is fine, unless you have something special you plan to write. Just keep your words clean, fucker. I am fine with nudity in my room, but not slurs hanging on my walls. :b And if possible, have the signature in a place on the front where it can be seen.
Hmmmm... now that you give me this offer... any ideas of trinkets you could send me that are pretty European? :3 I've never been to Europe, so I don't know what I'd ask for.
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay, good to know. I always wanna make things clear to the detail.
Trinkets? That is pretty much the last thing I am dealing with in life XD Something I don't need to have around in life, so I have really no clue about that. I will keep an open eye, maybe I will find something interesting =3

I collect odds and ends, so yeah. Just don't be a cheap ass and get me things that are gonna break right away.
