Description
Media: Acrylics and Watercolors. Background and character painted separately and added together in Photoshop.
Background only: [link]
Character only: [link]
I have always wanted to paint a surreal dream-like view. Yesterday I had suddenly a huge inspiration to paint clouds. I had an idea to paint of a lonely little moon-creature floating on a magical stone and watching his home rising behind the clouds.
I have never before actually painted clouds, so today I started to practice them. One of the practice pictures was so good, that I ended up liking it more then the finished picture (which I totally ruined). The problem was that the picture was missing the little moon man.
The character was impossible to add traditionally to the picture because the practice picture was really small and the gemstones needed transparent painting.
I decided to paint the character separately and add it to the picture in Photoshop. Not my first choice, because I’m a traditional artist so adding or changing things on computer feels a little bit like cheating.
I tried to use the same colors that I had used in the background, so the character would not stand out too much.
I really really like how this picture turned out!
Hope you like it too.

OOoohhhh myyy goooodnness this is sooo beeauuuttiifffullll you dooonn't belliieevveee.
That little drop thingy is so cute but also so fitting and well-coloured! Like, the reflections and shading and eeeehhh. Even though you had to photoshop it in it really fits very well and actually having it sharper gives it more focal point. I really like the abstractness of the clouds (abtract + clouds = very happy Valkreen. XD), and even though they're not quite 100% right, they still look gorgeous. :3
Oh look I'm actually commenting on your non-AATR stuff now haha! XD About time!
