Original Description

Well... I didn't know what category to put this under *sighs*

Ok

Background info:

This was actually inspired by one of my best friends... out of no where an RP began... and thus by the end this picture was in my head... 2 days later I do a lil sketch of the girl standing. Yesterday, I do a simple red outline and fill her in black. I wanted it to look like she's holding her hand in front of her heart-- facing the ocean...

Today, I search the net for some pictures of scenary... and make my own. Recreating, adding, and basically just using the pictures as colour examples and how every thing works together. Or I attempt, at least. Then I wanted to add some tears... yes that's what's near the back of her head there... -_-;

Anyways... she is full of all sorts of emotion. Loneliness, yet just the opposite. Sad, yet again the opposite. Every strong feeling going against a strong feeling of the opposite. She just let someone close to her get hurt, felt that she betrayed a few people-- including one that she seems to have mixed feelings for. So she went on... walked... to be alone.
She found herself at a beach. Sunset. The water pouring over the sand.
Then it hit her.
She holds her heart, and tears fall.
Not sobs, but tears none the less.

Thus this picture was created...

and still not the entire vibe and emotion I wanted to convey.

Enjoy though-- it was my attenpt at a "real" background.

Made in Paint Shop Pro 7.

I was testing with different brushes, strokes and stuff to work with the image... so ^^
