Description "Castle... thank you... for being there."

"Always."

Nothing to kill your art block like a humungous dose of nerve-wracking fingernail biting dramatic romance from your favourite show. Am I right? XD

Castle. Ahhhh Castle. It's about time I uploaded something from Castle up here. Of course I started freaking out about this Caskett-y scene as soon as I saw it. But better yet, it gave me inspiration. Not only did I finally have something to draw, but it gave me an excellent opportunity to try out digital painting, which I've always admired but never done before. It might just be that it's 2.30am right now and I'm really hyped up, but I've gotta say I'm pretty happy with the result. :> Just gotta wait and see what it looks like tomorrow morning...

The only thing that really gave me trouble was Beckett. Her face... took about 40 minutes. Everything else was pretty easy, I just couldn't get her right no matter what I did and it drove me insane~ I think she looks ok now, but she could still be better. >) I'll have to try digital painting again really soon.

This, of course, is the freezer scene from the episode 'Countdown' of the amaaaaaazing show Castle (watch it now.) The scene itself was used for ref.

I saw your take on the freezer scene a while ago but I didn't take the time to comment!
You did a really good job for a first try with digital painting and you perfectly captured the atmosphere of this scene. It was inspiring, wasn't it?! I know what you mean about Beckett's face, I had the same trouble myself with the perspective!
The finale was quite inspiring too, don't you think?! I'll probably draw a scene from this episode to overcome my lack of new episodes during the summer! I hope to see more digital paintings from you in the future

Thanks! ^^ True, it was hard D:

I actually haven't seen the finale yet We're a few months behind here in Australia and I cannot be bothered to watch them online... after all, that would just make it end faster

Naww. I don't watch the show, but my friends never shut up about it...
This is a very well done picture, I must say.

Thanks! It is such a good show, it's understandable why your friends don't shut up about it...
