Description

So... some actual new stuff. And only a few days after my most recent post. Yay. I was wanting to do a new guy pic but then I was also wanting to do a more updated Cestia pic so you get this as a result. My (or really Amanda's) original characters, Arenik and Cestia. They're married, love each other, all that stuff and I find them a fun couple to draw. This is actually a bit of a revisit to a picture I did when I first started learning how to color on the computer and it's cool seeing the jump in improvement.

Coloring-wise, I tried something different (again). I tell you, I just can't decide on a coloring style I like or that I feel suits my line art. It's getting a little frustrating. I dunno. :( But here I'm trying out something a little more comic-y, I guess. This is my first time playing around with things like edge lights so if there a little off, my bad. I didn't use a reference.

I've been trying to draw more from real life so I used this [link] as a pose reference. It's a stock image from miss ~Shiskababe. She's got some lovely stuff in her stock gallery so send her some love. Also, background comes from ^JunkbyJen because I failed at making one myself.

That is just so touching! You can really feel the emotion in this peice!!! :iconiloveyouplz:

Picking, and choosing a coloring style is terribly difficult. But after you try so many of them, your own sort of becomes a blend of them all! lol!
