Between Heartbeats

Done for ~dizzykaleidoscope.

This was to portray love and adoration, a magical moment on a beach, where the world seemed to fade away. Nothing existed save for those two, the stark beauty of raw feelings.

This is less than 1/4 the original size of the image. If anyone wants any closeups of anything let me know, otherwise I probably won't do any.

Original size: 3072x5151px
62 active layers, 77 total.
Roughly 30-35 hours.
Done completely in CS2, aided with a Wacom Inuos3 tablet.
