SO. This is :iconguineapiggy:'s grand prize from my Elements contest... god, last year? So it's been a while and I tried to make up for the disgusting amount of time I procrastinated Dx

So Vicki has this awesome comic called Saints' Calling (WHICH I DEMAND YOU ALL READ RIGHT NOW) that I have been a fan of since the Blackberry Creek days, where we met. I think she's an extremely talented artist, and very sweet and friendly to boot. I have known her for years and treasure her friendship greatly. :heart:

These are some characters from her comic, from foreground to background:

Athena and Hades (dancing)
Violet and Francis (arguing)
Prometheus (pouting)
Felicia and Chrissy (seducing/being seduced)

I was originally going to do like a super!serious!montage-type-image, but then thought I'd be better off doing a scene-type image. So they are all at a fancy ball-type thing. :)

YAAAY EXPLANATIONS ARE BORING

I hope you like it, Vicki. I spent a long time on this and I had so much fun working on it (usually I get frustrated with images like these but I honestly came up with excuses to drop whatever I was doing to work on this). :)

Uhh O__________________O wow. Woooooooooooooow. *speechless*

*takes inhaler* Okay I'm back ^_^ But wow. This is absolutely AMAZING. Like...I don't even know where to begin x_x my jaw dropped when I saw this. I feel like I'm watching a movie. Gawd.

Okay, I guess it's time for analysis *cracks fingers*

Hades/Athena: I had a good laugh when I realized Hades was eating while dancing XD (took me a while to notice <.<;) The dance pose itself and the way they gaze at each other makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside x3

Violet/Francis: HAHA. That is so completely them. Violet's all like "PISS OFF" XDDD oh God I love it. Poor Franky :(

Prometheus: I wasn't expecting him to be in here XD but he came out to be a wonderful addition. I can feel his jealousy D8

Felicia/Chrissy: That was another one I had to laugh hysterically at. I love their expressions and poses (lol is she trying to open his shirt?! XDDD NAUGHTY FELICIA) Brilliant.

Overall, you've captured the characters perfectly. What I love even more is the fact that the whole setup reminds me of scenes that actually DO happen later on, so now I'm inspired to hurry up and get to those scenes x3

As for the artwork, I think this is, without a doubt, your best piece yet. The proportions, the composition, everything just looks totally professional. And the background! Oh lord the background. The perspective is flawless, and the color choices/lighting are like eye candy. I especially love the folds on the curtains/tablecloths and the little details at the bar. I don't know how you do it D8 I think this just comes to prove that you have a helluva lot of potential for the field you're going into.

Overall, I'm blown away. This was well worth the wait. Thank you so much for making this into such an amazing piece. You're an awesome friend ^^ <3333

(sorry for the freakishly long comment)

I really like it. :3 You do expressions so well.

And I love how there are people in the fore,middle and background. It makes the picture so interesting.
:iconsteorra-moonstar:
:heart: :heart: :heart: YAAAAAY, I'm glad you like it. Thank you for all your kind words as well, looks like my hard work paid off!

And seriously, keep going with SC. I know some people (like me) end up just giving up on something as big a commitment as a comic, but you're so very talented and I definitely think it will go somewhere if you keep at it. Not to mention that I love reading it! :)
