Birds of a Feather

And even if it is darkness she falls in love with,
it is still radiant, cheerful and pure.

The original concept was for a contest submission:
OBJECTIVE: Submit an original artwork (painting, drawing, or graphic) depicting yourself as a character set against the background of a magical fantasy world of your own imagination. Your piece should make the viewer feel drawn to and immersed in the depicted scene.

I think I failed that part. I ended up describing the feeling of floating like when you're in love instead of physically floating. I'll try again tomorrow, but otherwise I really liked how this turned out.
A variety of textures: watercolour and metal rusting were used.

Texture or no texture? I like how the hair looks, but the background seems so bland. I think the textures help emote the warm feelings she has for him, while the top one just makes her hair look nice.


Dangit, lol. I ended up staying up all night doing this. Well, I feel good about finishing something. -stares at pile of psd's started and untouched- Tomorrow, tomorrow... I guess that's actually more like today huh?
