Artist's Comments

Chie's apartment. She gets by but isn't exactly wealthy.

I decided I should shift my focus off characters and do a proper background for a change.
It's not that backgrounds are particularly difficult but GAH there's just too many boring details to polish and it really tests my patience since I'm not used to working on these tediously huge images to begin with.
...But, again, I think I've learned something so I'm kinda happy with this.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-08-03

Rise and Shine by *maaria

The suggester writes: "The artist has brilliantly succeeded in capturing a feeling of intimacy and "common-placeness". The angle, scenery and position of the subject give you the distinct sensation that you are actually there, with the girl; the yellow tones give a very strong feeling of warmth, not only physical - as it's easily perceived it's a bright sunny morning - but emotional as well - the overall idea of a young girl in her little nest is achieved with utmost efectiveness, and that's what the appeal of this deviation is all about."

That's a detailed background (but I find it a little monotone-ish) Your patience paid off, and I like the blurry plant :)

looks great! only thing i'd got to say about it is probably some of the scale is off... such as the door on the right side. it looks very wide. and the bed seems long to me. just a few observations. otherwise, thumbs up to you!

:O Wow that's cool! The girl's other leg is a bit wonky in my opinion, and I think the plant on the front is blurred nicely but looks still a bit slapped-on... But I love the mirror, and all those neat folding fabrics. Also the atmosphere is amazing.

Great work, you talented schmuck :D
