Full Title: Telling You Won't Change A Thing


Medium:Wacom Graphire4, Photoshop 7.0
Cost: my nerves, my patience
Credits: used grass brushes by =lizkay, a bark tutorial by ~DarkDragon774, a tree tutorial by `jezebel (though I came up with my own technique in the end) and textures by `hibbary

Fliu watching Vanity from afar, thinking that telling her about his feelings won't change a thing, since she already knows about them. Plus, Fliu isn't the character who talks about feelings. Grand dilemma.

Part of the 100 themes challenge. Shown theme: "Love". No one said it had to be "returned love", ne?

First digital background ever! Yay ! I used very few brushes, like some grass, the twinkle and the foam, the rest is drawn by me, with the help of tutorials and sometimes filters. I'm proud of the outcome, although it's still worthy of improvement. But one thing at a time .

This started as a sketch against my artblock, but then I wanted to finish it. Spent the whole day on the background :/. The picture also is somehow dedicated to , who, when my kiriban contest was still running, requested a picture of Fliu and Vanity. It made me so happy, that someone actually requested my own characters, when the topic was absolutely free . So this is for you .

No refs used; I'm afraid it shows on Vanity x'D. But whatevurrr~. Need to get a grip on equines again.
