A little less stylized than my usual stuff.

It's a very dark picture, yes, I know. I hope you can see it on your monitor. You should just barely be able to make out some green stripes on the wall. If you can see them very easily, then the pic is too bright. And if you can't see them at all, it's too dark.

I'm very happy with the way the two people came out. I'm fairly satisfied with the background. Not sure about the foreground though. I have one version with the vines and trellis, and one version without. Considering the name I had in mind was "arboretum", I thought it'd make more sense to leave the vines in. I'm just not sure if this is the version that looks better. Anyhoo, gonna make a print of this anyway because I have to do so quickly if I'm going to get this in time for my Dad's birthday. (It's a pretty somber pic for a birthday present, but heh, my parents don't mind. Haha.) XP

The usual. Done from start to finish in Photoshop. No references. I have no idea how long this took. Worked on it on and off all Spring Break.

Thanks muchly to for his suggestions and to for all her help. You guys are great.


EDIT - 06.Mar.2006:

Oh my God.... Thanks so much for the DD, patronus-light and Aeires. I'm so happy, I feel like I'm floating.

And to anyone else who wanders by, thanks so much for taking a look at this.

*wanders off in shock....*

(Oh, and sorry if this old pic pops into your devWatch folder again, but I really felt I had to make this edit. Thanks!)
