aurora

aurora~n 1: the first light of day

more of a conceptual sketch than anything else...

originally I had begun this sketch with the intention of testing out my new jasmine (a soft lovely yellow color) prisma color and then the deco pink (a very light beautiful rosey like pink). Somewhere along the way I thought how the colors somehow reminded me of an early morning sunrise.

When the sun peeps over the horizon and the violet colored night sky becomes filled with the warm hues of pink fading into a soft golden light.

sorry sorry I'm not very poetic after all

anyhow the character is Yuki, he always reminds me of something japanesque so I always love to do him with something remenicent of Japan. Though I normally like to depict him with more wintery pastels I think this costume also suits him in his more recent evolutions

sorry about the bad quality the picture was too big to scan so I used my digital cam again...
it's actually much nicer in person
