Before I say anything more, I used this picture as a reference [link]

Lyrics that mainly inspired this picture, by Lenka:

Underneath the moon,
Underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world,
Up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to

But I gotta know,
No matter how things go
That you will be alright




OH GOD THIS IS SO LATE!! XD Anywho, Happy birthday Mel!! I love you so much! Hahaha.

Don't you just love Lyela's home? Weird isn't it? Oh god, I hate x-mas lights!! D< Yes those stars are x-mas lights and I fail that this so hard. Mel I will draw you something better later, I swear!


Ander(c):iconxsuckxmyxkissx:
Lyela(c) me


AUGH THEY LOOK SO YOUNG!! D<


EDIT: I fixed what was wrong with the lighting and most of my lines. Major thanks to those of you who critiqued me it means a lot. :3 Also, I flipped the image last night because I forgot to do Ander's tattoos. XD So I figured that I would add them in while I redid the lighting. Thank god I'm done with this. *can breath*

I'm a little disappointed, because you can hardly see all the background and stuff [I can't see it at all because I'm blind, but at least you showed me before LOL]. And you worked so hard on it, too. =( But it turned out really soft and romantic-y, and if that's what you were aiming for, you got it. =D If not, then....lol sorry. xD

Good job love, I know this one was a thorn in your ass. :heart:

Choo choo crit train comin' through

You're getting lots better with anatomy~ But I think that aspect is a bit lost by the lighting. I recognize that there's light in the image, but it doesn't affect the characters much; particularly the light on Ander's head. The image is brighter in that area, but it's just... strange. I think it'd affect Lyela's cheekbones more.

I actually didn't notice the background until I downloaded it, and this might be because the picture is so dark. I realize it's underground and there's not much light, but I suppose the lights that are there should be casting a bit more.

Ander appears to be incredibly interested in Lyela's forehead.

Lyela's hair is pretty, I like it long. It's more interesting than Lexyla's shorter hair (if I'm right at all. I can't tell them apart, since I'm not following your story. >> )

I lol'd at the bathtub in the background once I noticed it, but the cabinety things look like they're painted on the bathroom wall rather than being an actual feature of the bathroom.

Overall, nice job~ I could tell they were in a subway station before I looked at the reference picture (though the bathtub confused me briefly, but once I understood, I giggled.)


(Also I'm trying to make a conscious effort to crit more, sorry. Hurr durr.)

Ah thanks, I hate the anatomy in this with a passion, I had to change their faces while in photoshop a lot. I'm not going to fix much, other than the Ander's eyes. And yeah I was fighting with the lighting for hours yesterday. I might try and fix it today, but those damned x-mas lights, AUGH.

Haha, you can tell them apart! Yeah it's weird, I hate that I went with the whole hair thing....but blah I can't change her too drastically.

D: Those cabinets are supposed to be sinks, and above that is a mirror. lol I need to go work on that too.

Thank you so much for critiquing me, not a lot of the other people I showed did that. It means a lot and it shows that you really looked at my work. Much love, Rei~
:iconknifeshadow:
Yeah, I'll work on the lighting a bit more today, seeing as I have no life. Hahah, yeah all that random detail that I put in got covered up by the shadows. I might add some lamps and stuff to break up all the darkness.

Wooo~ I shouldn't post things so late at night/so yearly in the morning.

Thanks though.
:iconnakuruangel:
xD You're welcome.

I like how Lyela's face came out here and the background has a lot of work put into it. Good job. You're really improving.
