Mello & Near valentines fanart

Happy Valentines to rinnakins   I hope you like your present ♥

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways

Tried a new colouring style and erm I think I failed so sorry :(

EDIT: Oh my god rinnakins wrote me an abolutely beautiful and sad MN story, OH MY GOD I can't thank her enough. Coherency  is something I don't have right now *is in shock*  I now want to do more art as she's inspired me so much. MN fan's are awesome.

Thank you Tiz ♥
I think everything with those two is bittersweet. I can't tell you how happy I am that you like the colours because I almost didn't post it I though they were that bad *laughs*

I don't think they're bad at all! I'm not nearly as much of an artist as I'd like to be, so maybe I can't see what you're seeing when you look at it; I dunno, but I think it's nicely done. It doesn't look stiff at all, but has a sense of flow and depth. What did you use, btw?

Thanks :)I think I just see the painting in my mind and get a bit frustrated when it goes on another tangent, but I guess that's what being an artist is about, experimenting :D

It's just done in Photoshop playing with the default brushes and their opacity. It was the first time I'd tried to get it like watercolours, because my real ones dried up :(

Oh..., I can relate to that, in part: I see some very nifty images in my mind, but they would never, ever come out of my pencil/brush/what-have-you looking how I see them because I have next to no mechanical skillz. Not exactly the same thing as you're talking about, but hey. ;D

Really, all Photoshop, huh? Hahaha, you should see how I color in Photoshop - hint: it looks nothing like that. >D Are you going to go for the watercolored look again, you think?

And yeah, stuff like that ruins way too fast. :/

*nods* It is sometimes like that for me when you get a really great idea but it just fails when you try to draw it. To be honest I would swap my drawing skills to be able to write as well as you can any day :D

I think I will it was fun to play with Photoshop like that and the best bit is if I mess up it's easy to fix unlike RL watercolours :D
