Just a little update, this file is huge, and I've been working on it for hours till my paw is now hurting, I do hope so much it will come out fine :( - because I love the idea I had and would hate to ruin it due to not being capable of serving it with my "skills".
On the right - Jasiri being in Namibia, with a typical acacia in the background, on the left me with an oaktree, typical constellations of the southern and norther hemisphere above and both of us searching for our friend, the moon, like a mirror that will connect our looks and send each other deep love of our hearts. *sigh* I so wish I already had finished it, would like to see it then.

Wow, that's looking quite nice, Khisa! I like the theme, it's a tad on the eire side, especially with the two characters just lined in. I'd actually be strongly tempted to leave it that way, it's a very nice effect. Good choices on the constellations, just about everyone will be able to recognize the southern cross too. :)
Only thing I'd suggest would be adding some kind of detail to Jasiri's lower neck, so it's easier to tell which direction his head is pointing. Beautiful work so far, I can't wait to see where you go with it! :D

Oh, thank you *blush* - maybe I'll try to keep this version and work on the version I have in mind and then decide which looks better. Besides that I need to rework Jasiri anyway as he's not really looking up to the moon (I should have sketched it in before :/ ) - but I had a hard time to draw us anyway, I'm not good at it >.<, what you see is the result of _hours_ of drawing, nothing lightly and heavily referenced, otherwise I could not have done it :(
It came out absolutely lovely, however you managed it. That you really put effort into it shows, you can tell when an artist is really into something and when they're just doing something for the neck of it. I just love the sort of ghostly aspect that the blue-glowing-lined characters add to the whole thing, especially with the moonlit scene. It's almost creepy and beautiful at the same time.
You're doing a wonderful job, Khisa, keep it up! :D

Stop making me blush so hard any time <.< - one could think I'm up to something *fold ears*
Thanks again, though I wonder - blue-lined? Oo - I thought that was some kind of yellow ocre or alike. And yes, I hope I can keep up working on it, just do not always feel the courage to do so, personal issues... :/

Awww! I'll bet a blushing cheetahess is adorable like very little else, though. *Purrs and smiles*
I guess they are at that... huh, for some reason when I was seeing it earlier, they were almost an electric blue. Perhaps it's the monitor I was looking at them on, I've got that particular computer set up for gaming with the monitor brighter and higher-contrast than normal. I really hope things work out for you, Khisa, it's never fun to see a friend with troubles. If there's anything we on FA can do to help, let us know.
I just really like your work, I think just because of the emotion that shows in it. You really love doing this stuff, and it shows!

Awww! *Purrpurrs* I know, I'm such a terrible person, making a pretty little cheetahess blush like that. :)
It's not the first time I've had weird things happen to colours on that monitor, like I said, it's set up for gaming so it wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the colours are slightly off to allow for better contrast or something. :) Either way, I like the look!

Thank you :D - I still want to draw the cheetahs as in "Come back safe", try to paint them as realistic as I can, but first I need to rework the sketch of Jasiri, try to make the lines really smooth and might keep that version before going on with the painting, maybe I'll add some plants in the background, still, but I don't want to do too much with it, don't want to make it too busy. Maybe I'll try to add the reflection of the moon in our eyes or something to emphasize its "mirror" effect of our looks, don't know by now.
And yes, I was having severe problems with my messenger, could not connect with the server, and now my internet is blocked, I have only the power of one fifth of an old modem though I should be having around 30Mbit, damn ISP.

Oh wow, this is looking great! It's really coming along :3
I agree with Komi on the keeping of the sketched cheetahs. Though, it would look amazing with them fully coloured/ shaded! :)
The theme/emotion is really well portrayed here, especially by the colours. That's one of your strengths :)

Awww, thank you, Saphire *hug* - I do hope it will look fine when finished, and as I stated to Komi - I'll keep all kinds of versions, just to have a base to decide which one looks best, so I'll paint us in still before I take a decision. First thing will be to resketch Jasiri's head, though :/
And thanks, never knew I could transfer emotions with pictures <.< - thought I could only do it with words when writing poems or stories.
