That's it.........I quit.......Doing this one pic suck out all my strength.............And half of it still looks like crap........@_@!!!

**********
Shadow.........by the moonlight.........taking a bath after a........fight. The blood..........is his own. He has suffered some slight injuries (mare skretches).......and now he just wants to get rid of the blood, of the scent of it.
It's a peacful night and the willows give him the feeling of protection. But from what? Who knows.......Who was he fighting against? Who knows.........Did he won? Who knows..........no one. No one knows the answer. He's all alone.....or not? He feels being watched. And that really pises him off.......

Whoever watched him that night.........is already not among the living. Did Shadow find him and.........killed him? Who knows.........No one knows.........because it was a peacful night.........with the fullmoon across the sky.........and with blood flowing in the water.

What is all that stuff above? I dunno.........I have no idea. I just wrote........something that came into my mind just by looking at the pic. (Shoot me, I'm losing my mind.........)

The pic took me about 8 hours.......JUST colouring it. X_X
I had the lineart for a long time, but never felt enough courage and self-confidence in myself to sit down and colour it. Then one evening I just sat down and started working on it. And here you go - a pic.
I still can't believe I could possibly pull off almost every effect the way I wanted. Wooo.........
But of course I suck with Adobe, that's why it's full of crap. I hate the water. It doesn't look like water. The moon..........well, it almost turned out the way I wanted. It looks OK, I guess........
The backround behing Shadow..........well.........there's nothing really there. I couldn't think of anything good. So it looks kinda unfinished....-_- There's a little "mist" though. Let's just say the mist covers everything, OK?^^;;;;
Despite all the crap in this pic, I love the way Shadow turned out. Pretty effects, ne?^_^ The blood on his hand always gives me the thought he ripped out somebody's heart. Creepy........

Anyway, looking at the whole of it, I can proudly say this is the best Adobe coloured pic I ever did! Go me!!!^_~

EDIT: Yes, I realized that Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata kinda fits for this pic, so I changed the title too. It was originaly entitled as Lake of Blood. Oh, and it goes well with the scenery, don't you think?^_^
This piano solo has a mysterios mood, peaceful and depressing at the same time. It's one of my personal fav from the classics. You can download it here:
