My Comments:
Yeee!!! ^_^ Although I'm really tired from doing this since it seems like I've been working on it for like forever, I'm so happy it's done!! ^^
Yaaay, it's my first Sailor Moon fanart in a LONG time, And it's Ann and Alan!! Don't you guys just LOVE Ann and Alan? The Doom Tree was one of my favorite Sailor Moon sagas, and I've been dying to do a fanart of these two for five years! ^__~ It's bout time I got down to brass tacks, neh? Well, I found the ending of The Doom Tree saga SO incredibly sad, and so sweet! And so here is my tribute to it, and just the first of my many Ann and Alan works soon to come, b/c the SM alien people are COOL! I may even do a Fiore from the movie if I'm bored enough, XD.
Well! Now off to the CG artwork, MAN, that was murder X_X. This artwork is REALLY a new style for me. I spent most of the time exploring Adobe and trying to get used to all the GAZILLIONS of impossible functions that program has, and experimented a LOT with effects. Another thing that was new for this artwork was not outlining the foreground characters, which I have always done before in CG works. Yes, this is part due to the fact that my outliner wasted, lol, but also becasue I've seen some CG work w/out outlines, and they looked awesome! I wanted to try and get that same soft effect ^__^ Because colouring took so long, I tried to hurry it a bit by blurring the flowers at the front, it didn't turn out as bad as I had feared! Oh and those line things in the background is my sad excuse for tree branches.. I knooow, they dun look anything like trees, lol XD
I like how it turned out, but then again, I've been staring at this for so freaking long I just may change my mind later, LOL ^~ But I'm really enjoying the elfish community (Alan! Ann! Tapion! Shin! EEEK SHIN IS SOO CUTE!! pinches his cheeks) and I hope you liked this artwork and new style! ^^ Thanks to all for viewing! :-) Thanks to Debbie too for getting me right back into SM by blabbing with me about it all through art class, XD.
Peace. Love. Anime.

All I can say about this is it's just absolutely breathtaking. This has to be one of the most amazing Sailor Moon fanart pieces I've ever laid eyes upon.
