Hmm, Bri doesn't quite look like she trusts Nate carrying her down into a mountain... ~grin~ I like the composition of this picture, but there are some things that are bugging me.
Mainly, Nate's right hand. I totally slipped when I was tracing it, then tried to fix it, and... yeah. :) But it's not so bad. Nate's wings are a touch uneven, and I think they might be too light, but I'll let his mun decide that. And Nate looks too serene and quietly happy, but since he's carrying Bri... ~laugh~
Okay, nitpicks on Bri... she's too light, her expression isn't as good as it was in the sketch, and she looks like she borrowed Risa's clothes. ^-^ The colors are too pastel for our tough-chick.
And the background... ~laugh~ I know it's not anything, and the sad part is how much time it took me to do it. -.-'
But I'm still happy with this one; it's cute. :)

Oooo, you finished it ^^ I likes. Especially Bri's expression! And I don't think Nate looks too serene. I mean, really, he gets to carry Bri, I think he looks just smug enough ;-)
I agree with Dale, the light coming from the corner looks really cool. How'd you do that? O.o I also like how you're experimenting with wrinkles. Wrinkles are fun! ^^
Keep up the good work, sweetie.
I know I answered your question elsewhere, Gail-chan, but just in case anyone else wants to know-- it's eraser. ~chuckle~ Lightly drag a white eraser (Not a gum eraser or a regular pencil eraser, but one of the markless kinds... like a quick-click eraser) to make streaks where sunlight could be shining through. That's it. :)
"Why did I let him talk me into this?" chuckles Her expression is classic.
I like the way you did the lighting from the side to brighten things up a bit - I think it fits in well, given the little hole that let them into the mountain to begin with. Don't think Nate's hand is in bad shape, either. :) His wings might be a touch darker, but not a lot, I think. Then again, that's what I get for not drawing them first... ;) Or at least picking a definite color.
Hm... those do look like Risa's clothes, don't they? :) Maybe Bri decided to stand out a little for the day... j/k
Nicely done, even if the background wasn't as nice as you'd hoped. :) I'll hush now and let someone else talk... no, really...
