Close-Up: Parisa's Song

This is our entry for almond / parisa's contest: www.furaffinity.net/journal/50…

We drew a lot of thumbnails and eventually got to the idea of Parisa singing at a sort of palace by the water.

Haley drew Parisa and designed her clothes inspired by Princess Serenity's dress (because Parisa likes Sailor Moon). Hope made the background in SketchUp. We both took turns painting details (such as the vines and fixing up the bushes).

The 3D was made all from scratch and then rendered in Kerkythea (there are several different render types merged in this picture). The whole process took all of October due to technical difficulties. After working on such a huge project together, our future art will be collaborations because we want to improve more.
