Lessons on a fine autumn day II

Description

Another artwork of Bishop and Liliana, the main characters of ~fuxfell and my NWN story Of Mice and Men [link] .

This is a companion piece to this one - . Many of our readers often commented that they'd love to see these two spend more time together under less dark and dramatic circumstances because they could be good for each other... and I agree. ;)

I actually started this work back in Octobre but then got distracted by Dragon Age 2 and the artworks it inspired, but I really missed working with these two, so I sat down and finished the postwork in the past week.

I love autumn, so I placed them once again in an autumn forest setting where Bishop is teaching the mouse some of his ranger skills. I imagine him to be his usual charming self, saying something along the line that skinning a deer is no job for a squirmy little princess and whether the mouse isn't afraid to spoil her pretty clothes... to which Liliana only has one answer. :giggle:

I'm really happy how the light and composition came out - I really wanted to capture the bright colours of autumn and think the setting works pretty well for that!

Making Liliana stick out her tongue at Bishop was actually the greatest challenge (3D-wise) here - it took me forever and ever to pose it in a way that looked natural, and I hope you'll like it.

For the postwork - damn that stag! :shakefist: It's a great model, but the texture was a complete desaster... so I sat down and repainted its complete fur in Photoshop, stroke after stroke after stroke... :faint:

But it's always fun to work on Bishop and Lily fluff, so I don't mind too much! :giggle:

My, my she is one bold young woman to tease Bishop like that knowing full well what might happen. :D
