Three of Swords characters--Olivier and Dominique, and their familiars Tehyo (monkey) and Mawu (tarantula).
Ollie and Minnie are part of a coven located just outside New Orleans. They're boyfriend and girlfriend at this point. I just wanted to do something kind of cute and relaxing....

EDIT: I put in more light at the horizon and tried the purple shadows that suggested.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself. Tehyo is one sexy monkey, and Ollie's pretty monkeylicious himself. And yes I consider it my duty to leave inane comments on every 3ofS picture you draw. It's my right.
O h sweet! That looks good, I think it might be one of my fave color pieces from you in the digital way. ;D I kinda would like to see some extra shadow here and there maybe some nice purple? Since some parts are nicely color balanced but some parts like on Olivier? I like the use of green line on the trees in the back, it helps separate things. But maybe lighten it to a little more yellow at the tops of the trees to enhance the glow of the sunset? Digging it over all! Nice texture on the tree! <3
Thanks! Yeah over spring break I've been experimenting with different brushes to get texture--I think human skin is the only thing I'm still using a soft brush on, because I like it to look like that, but I've been trying chalk and watercolor brushes and I like them a lot. Also, I discovered that by lightening the opacity on the flat color layers, and using an orange undertone, I can make the whole thing work better lighting-wise.
Good suggestions though, I'll try to work those in.

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.
