Silas Zee: "My fate has begun to change"

"My fate has begun to change"

This one started simply enough. I wanted to draw Kaori without her jacket since, I dunno, I'm not good at drawing the full uniform? I think it's all the grey that trips me up. ^_^; Anyhoo, the figure art was fun but uneventful (except for the stickers. Thank God I had already drawn her full violin case before where I could just steal from myself. Those stickers would have been a pain to draw again XD). When I got to the background I stumped myself. The pic on the left is the one I did first, just some simple colors to show off the Kaori art. I liked it but thought it could be a bit more, so I drew in a background for her. In the process I changed the lighting on Kaori a bit and it almost ended up being a completely different piece. I really liked both but couldn't decide which one to go with. I bugged my buddy Josh to look at both to help me decide and he was like "why don't you just post both?"

Yeah, Silas. Why don't you just post both? :O

You'll notice that the Kaori on the right is a much higher resolution than I usually post here. I dunno why but I thought it held up pretty well even zoomed-in close to the resolution I usually draw with. I guess I know what I'm doing sometimes. Go figure. :D
