"Now that your rose is in bloom,
a light hits the gloom on the gray" --"Kiss from a Rose" by Seal

lskdfalsdknHOLY CRAP!!! After 3 months it's finally done *dies*

I wanted to do a painting that would test my limits and help me improve as an artist, to do that, I wanted to try to break a few habits I noticed I had by setting up some rules for this one:

1. No outlines
2. No dodge and burn, all the shading was done with straight up color (except the lighting effects rendering on a few layers)
3. No blending, you can't see it with this small file but I did this in much the same way I did my vector portrait, with lots of tiny different colored shapes (though I did cheat and use the blur tool a little on the snow)
4. No pure black or white, I think this changed when I added the lighting effects, but I originally didn't add any pure black or white to the image

omg now I can work on other things O_O;;
