dawwwww.

A wondefful piece of work ^-^ the water motions must been tricky

They took me some time of it, but wasn't as hard as the other parts. x3

this is a beautiful and cute scene wrapped in one scene i it and the background with the lights and mountains are awesome as well

wow this looks incredible, nice work xD

I'm allways so amazed by your light/shading skills....and your water...the reflections. Its so awesome >.<

It took me some puzzles to figure out how filter layers work together depending on their order in a group, but eventually I figured. =)
The ripple reflections have been practiced before on a commission last year, and that gave me a lesson not to use too much of them. x3

I know that commission you mention. I didnt find the reflections are too much, but maybe thats just because I love water XD

AHHH. Everything about this is so amazing! You've done a really spectacular job with both the characters and the scenery, and it is just wonderful.
Thank you!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You are most welcome! =) Glad it worked out this stellar! =)

The lighting is beautiful! How did you render the wood grain?

Manually ovo Without any textures. x3

Nice! It looks great. I always struggle with woodgrain. Do you have any tips?

Hmm, try to use brush sets, but there is a way how I do it:

I ellipsify the brush's shape and tilt it to the direction to make its short end facing your brush stroke's direction, and set its minimal diameter up at around 25% on the slider.
Set the Transfer to Pen Pressure on opacity arou 80%, and Flow on the lowest.
Prepare a lighted side color you think would fit for a wood(This should be on your Foreground color), and a dark side(Background color), and place your left hand on the keyboard ready to push Key X when you need to switch in between Foreground color and background color. Use them when you feel there needs a little bit more dark, or light. Swap them when you feel like using the other.

Also: Don't dwell too much in the details, or you will hate doing backgrounds for a life xD Let them happen in the easiest way possible from manual, and just don't care about the rest. If you feel like refining them a little more, go ahead with Smudge brush but I would not advise that too often. It makes a lot of things looking anything but natural. Just go with hard edge brushes.

Awh so sweet and romantic!

Frrrrrruuudge, what amazing background. ;3;3;3;3; such a place to be. So beautiful. D:

Holy crap am i in love with the lighting, the atmosphere, the everything. Beautiful work.

If she's not careful, her towel will get soaked.
