She's the one
Added 2020-07-12 13:01:40 +0000 UTCUghhh I was uploading this on my iPad and I wrote an entire thing for this only for my iPad to freeze on me, gg
ANYWAY HELLO this is the ""surprise"" Wildehopps image for this weekend c: man i should probably stop drawing nick so muchfdsj
So... Judy is talking to somebody else from across the table. Given the semi-formal setting and the fancyish looking restaurant, I'd like to think that this is a special ZPD dinner party/night out to celebrate Nick's graduation. I thought this would be a really cute concept c: Here's some artwork that inspired me: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f0/c6/2a/f0c62afdac65c4fa0d5b2eb6bf9f1015.jpg (source unknown, more about that below)
I previously mentioned that I was beginning to get burnt out and I had a hard time coming up with ideas - some of you have gone above and beyond in providing me with some cool concepts to explore and I want to thank all of you for that!
Now, because of this burnout/artblock that I had, I should say that I tried really hard to find out who drew the artwork I linked above because I couldn't find a source anywhere while reverse-searching the image, all results were in Japanese and so eventually a friend of mine (who speaks Japanese) and I came to the conclusion that it likely belongs to a Japanese game dev studio for some type of visual novel mobile game. SO I'M NOT SURE... and that makes me really sad... but regardless I would like to extend my thanks to the mysterious artist who drew that beautiful piece!
I meant to upload this on Patreon yesterday but every time I kept looking at it I wanted to change/fix something until it was just right ; ; (I was up until 4am, rip) So I'll be uploading this on social media and other platforms much later in the day!
As always, thank you everyone for your support, it means the world to me. <3
edit: changed the time on nick's watch to something that makes a bit more sense given the sunset

2020-07-12 17:34:46 +0000 UTCNo such thing as too much Nick. :> Awesome idea that you've illustrated perfectly. I love the rendering and the out-of-focus Judy. So good!

2020-07-12 17:33:30 +0000 UTCVery impressive Lax, other comments have said what I'm thinking, so I'll just say what an amazing job you did.

2020-07-12 17:01:17 +0000 UTCNo, drawing too much Nick can't be possible. xD And what can I even say about this drawing? It's truly stunning that's for sure. I will be sitting here admiring it some more. Thank you.

2020-07-12 16:09:14 +0000 UTC💖💖💖 Beautiful use of reference and inspiration!!! I'm probably projecting a little, but it seems like the thought in the title is flashing through his mind and he's also just realizing that he's been staring at Judy not so subtly for a while and zoning out. Then there's Judy excitedly talking about something with someone off screen, being heart meltingly adorable 💕! The background detail is well done, and the whole subdued environment sets a nice, calm scene that helps Nick's bright red-orange fur pop and focus attention on his expression of suddenly realized love 💗 The blurred foreground and background perfectly captures that cinematic depth of field look, and focusing it on Nick does a fantastic job of giving off that feeling of zoning out and everything around you being slightly dreamlike, and also the slightly blurry Judy gives me a sense of her (and the rest of the world aside from Nick by extension) moving around Nick in his frozen moment of clarity. I have not slept and I'm kinda blabbing romantically, but this piece really captures that moment of realization that you love someone!

2020-07-12 15:32:39 +0000 UTCHahaha, that's a neat idea! And thank you so much for your comment above. I really did always get scared of having high pricing but... yeah, I think it's fair, honestly!
2020-07-12 13:37:37 +0000 UTCAaaaa QAL ;;;; Thank you so much!!! The timelapse will be uploaded very shortly!! <3
2020-07-12 13:36:01 +0000 UTCWith reference to your Twitter tweet about pricing, this is a very good example of why £250-350 is a steal when it comes to pricing for your work. The details (the backlighting, the depth-of-field POV, the individual fur strands) are excellent! By the way, the setting suggests that they are on a stakeout because they are sitting at a blackjack, poker, or roulette table in a casino. Nick’s shirt isn’t one of his gaudy Hawaiian ones but more of a subdued navy blue dress shirt that pairs well with a dark blazer. I can see them arriving separately and they ‘happen’ to sit next to each other and while she chats up the other patrons, he’s busy observing. Except, he can’t take his eyes off the lovely bunny next to him. 😄
