Remember that summer

Keepiru's picture

The western sky becomes so colorful
as it is pierced by the ray of sunlight
The scent of summer is everywhere
as the afternoon shower stopped

The light of the old memories flooded me
as I tried to picture them clearly in my mind
I could hear voices of my friends emerges slowly

The scent of that summer twilight came
vividly even after all this time
Even now, my heart smiles
when I think back about that summer

The lantern were so colorful
in that summer festival
As I recalled the resounding bell
my heart started to tremble inside

The cicadas are crying noisily
as I walk through the grove alone
I try to recall what those days were like

Even now,
I can recall in my heart
the quiet whispers of everything
that were happening
in those precious days

As a person, we must protect those things
As a person, we must learn from the things
that was created by the past generations
Keep those important lessons in our heart

The scent of that summer twilight came
vividly even after all this time
Spread the warmth
of those unchanging days

Remember that summer

Started a week ago, I had many other things to do but I forced myself to work on this every day (actually every night).
Although, they're almost inactive now I can not forget them <3 EvenEst have 3 years today. It still amazes me that they were created the same day haha.
I added Ehretia, their daughter, but her design is not clearly defined... Here she is featherless. I wanted to work more with her, not enough time, though :C

70% done with SAI and 30% with Photoshop.

Btw, those flowers are honeysuckle flowers, that is not by chance, teehee <3

And Estme was like, IMMA GONNA GET YA ANYWAY D:<
And Ehretia was like, Zzz Zzz...

Thank you (once again) for such a nice surprise. I admit I was so busy with my first commission recently I totally forgot about that anniversary.. But that's only one picture I should finish today so I hope I can also make something special too <3 Anyway, about the picture: the details are amazing - are all these leaves and grass SAI brushes? Must. Have. T_T
Aaah, can't stop looking at them (commission progress since seeing this picture: 0% :"D). They're amazing. I don't play TEF much anymore, but nothing can ever make me forget Evens&Estie. I still keep having ideas for the pictures with them, they're a real inspiration to me. Though I kind of missed them actually ♥
Thank you.

(That reminds me of a day when you were teaching me how to get to the top of the Ruins!)

Ya-Lera: yes it is, I really like this singer, his voice is amazing and so pleasant to listen ^^ thank you.
Pepsi~: thank you <3
estme: well, grass and vines are done with Photoshop brushes (pack found on dA) but tree foliage, ruins/rock, sunspots are SAI brushes (pack found on the internet but I lost the site). I switched all the time from one to another, sai-toshop-sai-toshop-sai-toshop... this is the first I do that, the two open at once and actually, it was very fun even if I was lost in the great layers sea at the end 8C
You're welcome darling, we will love them to death and beyond! 8|
(haha yes that was fun <D)
Psst, I would LOVE to see those ideas D8<

THIS .... is by



THIS .... is by FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR one of the most amazing and breath taking pictures I have seen in the last few months.
I can't even begin, how awesome the details are and how honest and fluent their action comes across despite this being a picture. Not many are able to display actions in a unmoving painting in a way the viewer can imagine what happened before and what happens after.
The details must have taken you forever, too. I wish I had a bit of the patience you have. And how flawless the characters suit into the background. All of my jelly and all of my respect.

Seriously, TEF has it's upsides and downsides. But pictures like this definitely belong to the golden rays of it's sun.

I demand MOAR!!!

(Also, ist it okay if I take this as my personal Laptop wallpaper for a while? Please ;_; )


What nature divides, the spirit unites.
