Took a total of 14 frustrating full days to complete back in the days when I still used a mouse to render. This was around the time when Final Fantasy played quite a large role in my inspiration behind my artwork, so you can see where Ive come from.
The characters were designed well before I got to this illustration. I wanted to create a similar feel with both. It took a while to actually figure out how I would pose them out in this artwork, but I think in the end it worked out fine.
The backround didnt really need reference, since I had a strong visual idea of how it should look. The only thing was, was that it took a while to finish and it got quite repetitive...
Anyway, thank you all for checking it out!
