Artist's Comments
This is digital painting of Van Fanel and Hitomi Kanzaki from the Vision of Escaflowne.
I've just spent the past one-two hours finishing the background off, and I've just declared it finished. There's only so much time you can work on the same piece! I absolutely ADORE this couple, and I LOVE the charm of the anime style and artwork! I had a GREAT time CG'ing this, it was so FUN to do anime colouring-- I feel like I haven't coloured an anime picture in AGES! Lol. ^^ I based it on two official wallpapers from the anime series and the movie, so I sort of merged the two concepts together and changed bits here and there. And the lineart wasn't done in Photoshop, I drew it first on paper with pen and ink. I'm not completely sure about some of it, such as Hitomi's face and some of the anatomy went weird. But I think Van's face came out very well. ^^ I speed-painted the clouds and Mystic Moon/Earth and moon, 'cause no one was gonna notice any detail there anyway after I resized it.  I used a reference for the Earth (Africa and the Antartic is supposed to be visible) so it SHOULD be fairly accurate. I really like the way I painted the wings, (even if I do say so myself) I think they came out wonderfully.  And sorry for the watermarks, I had a spot of trouble with a ripper lately. XD Oh, and a last note, I didn't paint the small feathers flying about, (I got lazy -.-) they are thanks to angeldream's amazing feather brushes: [link] Everything else is 100% me! I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it! ^^ Time spent: Roughly 10 hours, not including the lineart. XD Tools: Adobe Photoshop CS and my beloved Wacom Intuos3 A5 Tablet.

NASA spent millions of dollars to create a pen that works in space. Russia used a pencil.
Incidentally, a cheap ballpoint pen works just as well.
Sorry for the lack of technical terms in this lol. One can't expect too much in a comment when out of it on cold medicine.
