Please Don't Go

Oh. My. God.

I am never, ever doing water again. EVER. Doing the background for this painting put me off of finishing it for weeks. I just couldn't go back to it until today. Ulg.

Anyway, this was ALOT of work, and I learned alot when I did it. I don't know if people have been noticing, but I've been working on my anatomy a little bit recently, and I'm super proud of that in this image. I also like their hair against the background.

This too approx. 40 hours to do. Literally, no exaggeration. This is the longest I have spent on a single drawing ever. And I apologize to `yrindale, ~sadboyinsnow, =severedscythe, ~OddWritings and just about everyone else I've bugged for help and critique to get to this point. I know I had to be totally annoying, but I wouldn't have even got this far without you guys, so internet hugs all go out to you guys.

--Stock used for pose reference--
I used the super stock of *tacostock to help me with the pose. They are a LOVELY couple, and have a BUNCH of awesome work. Support your local stock artists, and USE THEM. Stock art is a GODSEND to illustrators everywhere. :3

I used this pack, specifically: [link]

So to them, a big fat "thank you"!

I can't believe I'm done.....

(I'm encouraging advanced critique so that I can learn from this... but I'm probably never going to really touch this again)
