Description

A speedpaint of roughly 3 hours, which I had started as an attempt to do both a feasibly "in-depth" background with monochrome. Originally this was going to be a complementary colour practice but I decided to forego yellow and stick with violet for the whole thing.  I managed to get wips at almost all the important stages while timing myself.  I... work fast O_O

I'm finding that I quite like ambiguous backgrounds as far as things go.  Also I've been painting constantly in wallpaper size (16:9) so that my desktop will have some nice decorations, haha!  I'm considering doing a series with this with different colour monochromes but similar idea of background practice.  I've still a far way to go before my control of lighting is even NEAR sound but I just like this sort of soft, glowy look XD  painting with sharp shadows just... doesn't interest me as much?

Maybe a glowing red jewel cave, a sunny yellow shore, a field during an orange sunset... hmmm, well I already did a forest, so I'll have to figure out something for green.  And then there's blue; sky or water?  Decisions, decisions.

Feel free to use this as your wallpaper if you'd like ^^;  also... commissions are on hiatus until I can grit my teeth through this tough semester... I bit off a bit more than I can chew with this double job + volunteering thing...

I've been finished this piece for a while but I touched it up today to throw on here ^^; man... I'm going to turn 20 soon... better manage to throw a piece in before I'm no longer a teenager!  ;A;
