Almost at full recovery! Will start working on commissions again in a day or so!
You may be wondering why I'm making so many of these recently.
And if you weren't wondering, I'm going to tell you anyway.
I've accepted a new commission recently and, well, as embarrassing it is to say, I felt that I lacked a certain.. 'flair' when it came to composing an image.
Doing quick silhouette practice like this just allows me to try new things (i.e. framing, practice clouds, slightly transparent dragon-thing in the case of this picture.)
Granted, the general 'accepted' rule is that if you want to practice, thumbnailing is the way to go. And this is what it was, a thumbnail.
Which I then enlarged and refined.
Only way to 'get it' is by practice, sadly. So I might be doing more of these later on. Definitely will have to try non-dark images for once though. I think I've done too many dark ones. (Value wise.)
Total working time: 1 hour 32 minutes.

This is pretty great! I like how dramatic it looks with your choice of lighting and shading; even the little colorful bits around the person on the swing.
At the same time though, don't overwork yourself in your pursuit to improve. Your well being is a lot more important than what you create, without you it cannot exist after all.

Thank you! I appreciate your support! I mean, really. Really, thank you.
On the flipside, yeah, I.. I know. I have a responsibility to myself to take care of..myself and yeah, I agree. I'm taking it slower, overall its just.. exciting? I suppose, trying things out.
Thank you for your concern, I do appreciate it < 3 I'll endeavor to do better for myself!
