Um...yeah. There is a border. ^^

Well...to put this briefly (well...okay, not really brief, so to speak...), I had originally planned to color the lineart of this with real media. Specifically, my new Prismacolor colored pencils. However, before I found my sharpener, I became tired of waiting and started CGing it. So...time went on...I didn't finish the CG...I found my pencil sharpener (or rather, someone else found it and gave it back to me)...and then I began the real media version of it.

Turns out...it ended up being too bright and colorful (I didn't get very far, by the way), so today, during my long period of nothing to do on President's Day...I finished the CG and messed with the colors and stuff until I was far too happy with it. Which is not a bad thing. Anyway, I made two versions with borders--one says Souls Renewed, the other says Past of Four Souls. Since I only made the PoFS one for...well, if I needed a cover that DIDN'T say Pirates of the Caribbean...I decided to upload the ACTUAL one--a.k.a., the Souls Renewed one. I guess it's actually the cover for PotC; Souls Renewed (the sequel to Past of Four Souls--read the bottom of my journal for the link). But I like it. A LOT.

I am SO happy with how this came out. Pretty much how I had planned it--or rather...not really. When I had planned it I think there was some cloudy background (mainly because solid colors are really hard with real media and, as you know, I had originally wanted to do this with real media), but when I sat down to it this afternoon, I realized I wanted it with a red, stained, somewhat grungy (sort of) background. And look at it! Yay!

Umm...several hours in total, what with the original layout (I never do those--just shows how much I wanted to do this picture), penciling, inking, and Photoshop. I love this picture. ^^
