Finally getting around to coloring this one. This is a preliminary treatment in pastel pencils that helped me figure out a color scheme (I am so not used to working in color...). Details are being added and shifted, so I've got several steps yet before I actually begin painting this one.
As I said in private (should probably put it here too) ... that surreal lighting on the trees (so far), combined with the darkish sky, reminds me of what the lighting looks like outside when a storm is about to hit. And the blowing of their clothing just adds to that same illusion. It honestly screams 'storm' to me, which is actually kind of good. Remember, based on "His Beloved Evey", I have to get them away from London when 'her rain' comes again the next year. This actually would fit that, if you stop and think about it.

This one's going to be interesting as it develops. As we talked about, my initial feeling of the sky was "night", but the pastels didn't give a saturated enough color for that. When I start playing with the watercolors, I'll see if I can get a decent "storm" texture without it becoming sloppy.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
