i love the coloring job, is it watercolor?

[petite_madame]

Thank you so much :♥
No, no, it's 100% CG art, it's just that for once, I used Painter and not Photoshop :3

ah ok, cuz i was trying to figure out how it has that watercolor feel to it, but somehow didn't? if that makes sense lol

[petite_madame]

I see ^^ "Painter" is different from Photoshop. It has what is called "natural painting" tools that is to say tools that imitate traditional medium like watercolor or pastels. It wasn't very accurate in the first versions but the latest version, Painter 12, is really awesome. Here is what you can do with it when you are an amazing artist like Taiwanese illustrator Chen Shu Fen: http://www.yonasu.com/wp-content/uploads/chen1.png

Thanks a lot for your kind words about my art ^^

Wow, very, very nice! Woman, your art never, but never, fails to amaze me. And your palette is gorgeous -- love those red-brown tones, almost the same shade as old-fashioned color film negatives. Was that intentional, or a happy accident? Anyway, bravo!

. . . and now, I'm curious, so off to read the fic I go. :D

[petite_madame]

I used this palette because the sepia tones are the color of nostalgia (for me) and without spoiling the fic, the plot is about nostalgia and about regretting things in the past. I wanted the art to look like old photographs. The art had more vivid colors at the start but I desaturated a bit at the end :3

Your artwork is beautiful and it fit the story so well.

I think my favourite is the piece you did for the 'writing process'.

Many thanks for sharing. x
