...you just have to find it...
this city afloat the sea,
can't you see it's my dream?




long overdue project for painting class. lol, i took an extension and completely abused it xD;;; "orz. gawd the buildings took so long and i was bored out of my mind >_<;;~

plus the scanner stole all the colours away, as usual =_=;;~ *wishes she had a bigger scanner so as not to rely on school scanner anymoar D:* tried to restore the colours as best as i could in PS, but it's never really the same >.<;;

done with watercolour+gouache

this took me...let's just say that i was listening to the Harry Potter audio books from book one when i started painting the buildings (after laying down the base colours), and i finished when i got to the middle of book 4.....D:
inspired by Yerka's surrealistic works ^^~

ps. sorry parts of the painting's kindda blurry D:....i swear, the school scanners are screwed up ;_;~

pps:...i just looked up 10th kingdom "orz. ....-_-;; similarities are completely unintentional, as i've never seen or heard of the movie before o_o;;;~

That is fantastic. Watercolours can be such a beeyatch, especially when doing small details, but you've certainly tamed it :)

It looks nice. If you have access to a digital camera, sometimes it's helpful to take a picture of your work. It helps not to lose the color so much, you just have to get the right angle for lack of glare and odd shadows

That is a lonnng time omg XD.
This is so amazing, though!!! I adore watercolor and gouache and you did such a great job ;;. How did you get the washes to be so smooth? Is it gouache?

It's beautiful :)! I really like the transition between the two worlds, where you can still see the water ripples near the surface >w<.

Oh wow! That's the exact place I dream of living in when I grow up! :D (hehe just kidding about the growing up part. Not planning on doing something so silly!) This gets two thumbs up and a fav! :)

Wow, this is awesome :D It reminds me of the key theme of the 10th Kingdom. ;)
