Another digital "painting" done quickly in photoshop. This one was made for the Parent's Jam in enterVOID's forum boards.
To the left is the mother, Rosabella Quaille. A professional opera singer until she traded it for marriage, Rosa lived under the stress and physical abuse of her well to do family for unknown reasons. Because of this she is always nervous or uncomfortable around those she finds attractive or friendly. Over time her husband helped her overcome her past trauma, and rarely leaves their home without him. She is technically the Queen Cardinal of the Winter continent, but she tends to avoid political affairs due to some self confidence issues.
On the right is Lord Eliseo Picozza, High Cardinal of the Winter continent. He is described best in few words: brash, tempermental, sarcastic, and fearless. Although he bore a rough icy exterior, but deep down.....he was really a lonesome puppy hearted doofus. Before he even met Rosa, he was nothing more than a secret fanboy of her music. He even contained a secret collection of all the opera CD's and promotional photographs involving her work in his bed chamber. As her husband, he tends to dote on her constantly.
Ok ok enough about them. There's more background detail but my brain is slowly shutting down, so there you go.
Basically Eliza is of royalty, which I didn't really mean for that to happen. It's such a bad cliche to have a main character be a princess and I didn't think about it at the time, but oh well.
Your words are always so profound sir! Thank you very much for your insight. I wanted to give it a frosty lukewarm feel to the image without making it overly busy. You know me and backgrounds, I'm so cowardly when it comes to drawing them. Hence the flat lavender. I'm glad you like it too! If I wasn't so drunk off of insomnia the other evening I would've wrote more about these two. There's actually quite a bit of dark story to tell about these gentle folk, but that will be mentioned another time. AND YES YOU SHOULD DO PARENTS JAM! Or like...ALL OF THEM! But I know you're a busy man with priorities so get to it! *whipsnap* 8(
Her hair is originally red with darker roots at the bottom, but I decided to go for a lighter pastely look. Thank you so much! BTW when are you going to show off your work again? ;__;
Wow, so I looked at the art, then read the description, then looked at the art again and had to go awwwwwwww. Their personalities, the way you describe them, and their relationship can easily be read in their expressions. Especially the Lord. He's all "I loves you so much!" It's cute. Especially since, in every other aspect of him, he looks like he'd be kinda cold and creepy.
And the coloring is, as usual, divine, so there's little more for me to say in that direction.
And it's perfect. I need to work on expressions. I always draw people with similar expressions. I've only just begun experimenting this year. You're an inspiration. *bow*
Aww thanks Laura! You're right about Eliseo though, he does have a pretty cold and eerie personality, but it's more on the obnoxious extrovert side, really. (He was much worse off before he met Rosey.)
I really love that kind of dynamic, you know. Like a big hairy muscle man holding a kitten. That's sort of what these two remind me of... well, SORT of You get me, right? ^^
I honestly think it looks great :> The colours work very nice with eachother and the chicks face is adorable.
boyfriend said he had a scanner but when I set it up I have to restart pc everytime to use it ; ; so I have to get a new one. I just got a job, so hopefully I can get one after a bit. I've been without a scanner for a while ; ;!!! I tried taking pictures for a while but it always makes it darker in some areas. /pout
I really love the muted coloring scheme in this, it almost looks like an old photograph. The characters themselves are really well-designed as well. And I just love the sheen on his shoulder armory things for some reason...
