Greetings!
I'm back to share another art piece I've created as well as a little story with it.
Coming up with gifts is always a hard task for me, but luckily for me, my friend loves talking about her favorite shows and franchises. Last year I created a digital artwork of a character from Dragon Age.
However, this year I wanted to gift something physical, and well, my friend does have an entire wall in their room dedicated to art prints and posters, thus I decided to create a custom fanart piece for them.
I quickly decided that it's gotta be a piece based on Fruit Basket - as earlier this year my friend kept talking about the reboot for hours.
Right off the bat, I knew that I want to draw an illustration of the main couple.
I found some clips and screenshotted them for references, both for the character design and the colors.
Then I proceeded to just sketch it out.
While I loved the composition, I went on to look for inspirations for the background, after all, a poster should be a full illustration.
These are the images I ended up using as references for the background.
And thus my work was getting close to being finished.
All that was left to do, was to get the lighting suit the mood, properly crop it and add in a bit of grain for that anime feel.
And ta-dah! Printed work.
Sadly, I don't own a camera that could properly capture it, but I hope this gives an idea. ヾ(｡･ω･｡)
