I think I've completely destroyed my hand thanks to that metalic dress. That thing was a pain to do. Lots of brush mode changing and layer hopping.
So, this is my second submission for FAC's One Word Contenst (getting it in JUST under the gun--it closes in a few days, lol). This pic's word is "Moon."
Reina is the moon because the moon is cold and aloof. It hides itself during the day, waiting until the night when the sun can't outshine it. It feeds on the sun's light, reflecting a pale light back. The moon is alone around the Earth, with no one near it. Likewise, Reina is often cold and aloof. She reflects people's happiness back upon them through herself, never really feeling it. She has no one she is close to, except Armande, but that is more necessity than want.
God, she's too much like me. Which is probably why I stole her name and everyone calls me that now. ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_oO.gif)

 BogusRedTotal Posts: 2895Dec 30, 2005 1:09 pmOh my gosh I love this. I love the concept of having the lights stream across the crescent. I think you did a beautiful job on this and I wonder why I didn't see this one before! The streaks and stars are a really nice design element too. Wow this is just so impressive. --- Help me squarsh bugs |

SaikonoYume (Reply)Total Posts: 316Dec 31, 2005 2:44 pmThanks for the love! This is definitely one of my favorite pieces, so it's thrilling to hear other people like it. The lights on the crescent came from two places: somewhat with the reference I used (there were lights on the tips of the crescent, like beacons), and an out door party where they had lights strung between polls. --- That which fell from the sky was not rain

Besides that, I think this picture was realli well done, and the metallic dress is amazing. The bottom part of the dress seems flat in comparison to the rest of it tho. Everything else is perfect. Great job.|

SaikonoYume (Reply)Total Posts: 316May 13, 2006 2:34 pmYou know, my art teacher said the same thing about the bottom. It is messed up--the dress wouldn't fall like that. I just remember getting to that point and thinking "What do I do with it?" so I just sort of made it up. --- That which fell from the sky was not rain

SaikonoYume (Reply)Total Posts: 316Oct 29, 2006 4:17 amActually, I refered a picture from dA that I no longer have or can find. I know which Sailor Moon picture you're talking about and, unless that was the reference for MY reference, it's purely coincidental. --- That which fell from the sky was not rain
