What I Will Become

that's not how shadows work! </faint>
Oh my gosh... this was... wow... painful? weird? I have no idea... that wall, those stones, the ground EVERYTHING was so hard! You know what's a terrible idea? Not being good at backgrounds and then doing a piece that is almost entirely BACKGROUND.

I wanted to achieve this dark, noir, contrasting, light-to-dark effect... and I knew how to achieve that just as well as I knew how to describe it right there (not well at all). So the whole picture I was just slapping down colors and layering and layering and I had no idea what I was doing. But I think it turned out okay?

For the purposes of the picture's meaning, it probably would have been more appropriate to use Neo-Queen Serenity for the silhouette, but I thought Eternal Sailor Moon would look much more impressive.

Tools: Copic Sketch Markers, copic mulitliners, photoshop elements to edit color back to original (most of it couldn't be retrieved on this one though...)
