Artist's Comments

Finished in 2005, Feburary.
Started for the purpose of learning how I paint things affected by a paticular color(ambient orange in this case), this only took two weeks to finish, a dramatically fast record for a guy who usually needs one month for even VGA size pic. Furthermore, though I was always getting cold feet to start painting background scene(because...I don't like it:XD:), this time it really went smoothly, so smooth that I did paint the sky and the water serface drinking so much beer!!

When I posted this picture to a Japanese CG-mailing list, a high skilled guy pointed out that the lines of shoulder looks strange. I agree. When I was working on this part I didn't recognize, but then being pointed out I thought, "Shoo...he's right." Was I disappointed? No, because the point of this pic is not the shoulder, but the fact that I no longer feel fear to paint background scenes!!

Well done on the background and the whole picture. It's awesome. The background is so amazing. The amount of colour and detail is immense! How many years have you drawn for?

Another great work:) I'm glad this helped you get over your background art fear; I need to do a picture with the same goal :sweat:

I love these styles of pictures, was this officially used for any works? It's got a wonderful depth and feeling!
