This is a colored copy of On her husband's shoulder - lineart by C-Hillman which is a lineart version of this image: On her husband's shoulder -WIP by C-Hillman and this image: On her husband's shoulder-WIP2 by C-Hillman

The story behind the pic can be found here: "On her husband's shoulder"
If you don't want the whole thing(short though it is) I have an (extremely) brief synopsis here:
This is Katya asleep leaning against her husband's (Bran's) shoulder. They put their daughter to bed, got ready to head to bed themselves but decided to sit down and relax in front of the fireplace for a little while first. Katya was more tired than she had thought and fell asleep on Bran's shoulder so he gently carried her to bed and tucked her in before giving her a good night kiss then laying down and snuggling up beside her.

Written character descriptions of Bran and Katya may be found here: Bran - Description and Katya - Description

A 3D bust of Bran can be found here: Bran - bust by C-Hillman

A good drawing and color headshot of Katya can be found here: Katya Drecchandotter by C-Hillman

An, incomplete, list of prominent characters, their skills, and their roles/relations to each other can be found here: c-hillman.deviantart.com/art/T…

There's something pleasant about this picture. I have the impression that they are such loving. Your artwork is excellent.

The details here are very lovely, though the anatomy seems a little off. Katya's pose seems a little more natural, but Bran's arms seem too stiff. And though she seems to be facing straight forward, her nose is shaded as if she is turned to the side. And perhaps when rendering closed eyes, remember they are still orbs under the skin, not flat. Other than that, though, this is very nicely done.

Part of the shading is that they are supposedly sitting in front of a fireplace so the lighting is supposed to be from underneath and flickering. That gave me some trouble! =P

Hm, I can just image. Fire is tough to portray; right up there with lightening and water. And, since your story seems to have a focus on the elements, that may be difficult. For future reference, I would suggest more intense lighting, then. Fire really cuts a sharp silhouette of whatever is in front of it.

There is a short story, about a page and a half long, tyelling the story depicted in the picture. The link is in the Artist's Comments if you're interested.

I will be sure to read it then!

I did enjoy it. You certainly have a wonderful way with words.

How are you doing lately?

Since you enjoyed "On her husband's shoulder" perhaps you will enjoy this one as well? "A Tender Moment" features Katya's brother Theran (my main OC) and his girlfriend Ellisandra.
