Description
...they tried hard. they really did, she could see that. they'd chosen a spot with no electrical (and therefore, digital) interference, and had even adopted one of those poor imagins, just to show they really cared.but somehow.. real revolutionaries didn't act this way. they didn't form little societies and clubs and act like a family. the real moving was done by people who not only knew what they wanted but also how to get it. whereas..
cyrus, with his handwritten code and vague idealism, thought it took just one little fish to defeat the whole sewer system. but sophie knew better. she'd seen the secret agents of the empire track down her little brother and kill him, kill him dead. and all she had left was his eye - an eye that was blind, now.
what could they say to that? what could they say to ten years of searching for the other half so she could perform the operation on herself, dive into the system, and then they would know how much she could really do.
a sad bunch, indeed. but for now she would play along with this little facade. the rich businessman's son, the twins sharing moments that she would never have, the drug-addled genius who couldn't tell left from right but could sure as hell give you a mathematical equation to solve the secrets of the world, sophie needed them. they were her leeches for a wound that wouldn't heal.
her mother was right. she'd always been a good actor. pity she didn't remember her own daughter anymore.
Took 20+ hours.

Thank you. It wasn't really that much marker, it was just tedious because I had to keep them in a straight line.. =.=

Wow, I LOVE the colors!The tone and shading is.. AMAZING! 8D Really incredible.
I especially like the highlights of the skintones.
I'm also particularly fond of the girl laying in the little nook in the wall above the shelves. She looks like she's having a fun time in her own little quiet/secret place.

WOW. I know I've seen this before, I don't know whether I've commented on it before or not, though. It's GREAT! And I absolutely love the back-story. Is this your most popular work? You've gotten lots of faves and comments (well-deserved ones, too!)on it!

Not.. really. =.= I group-whored it but you know how faves on dA are- they look for shininess My most popular one is still the Character Ref.

Shininess? Uh-huh... well your art certainly gets more views than mine, but your compliments and favorites and such are actually deserved. XD
And I noticed all the groups, I just thought, "Whoa..."

Ah lovely piece
When I first see this as a thumbnail I though "Wow, this piece is crazy!" Your perspective is nicely done, especially with the bookshelfs and tables. And I also like your detailwork and choice of colours.
One thing to keep in mind though, with a piece with such a detailed background you should dull down the background (especially the walls) to make the figures stand out more.
Otherwise, amazing piece! Keep it up!

I'm not crazy about the faces, but I really think you did an amazing job on the overall background, anatomy and positions. Very well done, keep up the good work!

OH, my...I have similiar piece...
Great perspective, also great choosing of location with the characters. Only thing that makes my eyes burn are wall tapetes.

wut's Clockhand doing here.. :/
-cough-
Lol, I was wondering who would notice that It all seemed fine when I did the patterns that were closest, but when perspective came into play, I realized I should've chosen less clashing colors.. I definitely would've gone with muted colors if I knew that I would end up drawing so many of the darn rose things. XP

Yay..?
Traditional is so much harder than digital, even if it doesn't look as "shiny" XD

D-YoungFox In reply to Saffy-in-the-Clouds [2010-02-25 02:03:00 +0000 UTC]
Yeah I know. I didn't mean it like that
I find they are both equally hard. Of course I can't be sure since I never tried digital art...yet. But I do traditional art and I personally like traditional art better.

It's pretty good, I like the finished piece as well as the story, I'm not sure whether I fully understand it yet though.
Something you may want to consider, the perspective is pretty extreme right now. In this style you could perhaps get away with it, but I feel it's really angled at the moment. It's nice, but I dunno, it's really steep imho. Anyway, it's a good piece mind, and lovely colouring.

Saffy-in-the-Clouds In reply to kungfoowiz [2010-02-24 22:47:13 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, it's supposed to be kind of.. abstract.
Seriously, I had a lot of trouble with the perspective I couldn't decide whether or not to use one-point, two-point..I decided on one-point, but we mostly see through four-point.. -facepalm-

It's good mind, not a bad thing, I find it rather cute, just that the upper part reminded me of a cat's mouth for some reason.
