Another you and me
Another revolutionary heavenly romance
Waiting for the last waltz
And so it seems
We won't find the solution
Confusion leads the dance
We're waiting for the last waltz

I FINISHED, HOLY SHNAPS, I FINISHED

AND NOW MY ARMS HURT, LOLOL~~
Wow... where do I begin? Hrmmm... well, this pic was inspired by one of my favorite songs of all time, Last Waltz by The Rasmus. Every time I listened to it, I kind of imagined myself and John with it, mainly because of a past conversation that we had, haha. I told him I didn't dance unless I had arrows and a dance pad and somehow the mention of the waltz got mixed into that, haha~
The reference used for the pose was found in one of the Hana-Kimi graphic novel books. For anyone that's familiar with the story, it's the part where Osaka high and St. Blossom have to do their school dance whatever it is (yeah, I have to re-read the series

).
I really have to thank Kristen (*The-kat) for putting up with my stupid questions and helping me with shading techniques owo I'm very grateful~ Though, she didn't tell me to play with the textures... I had a lot of fun with that

and I think that the textures brought out more 'oomph' to the picture in the long run >w<
John and myself are (c) ourselves >D

TOTAL TIME: 14 hours 13 minutes
EDIT: Okay, so I went back at this with a new shading/highlighting technique that I both learned from *The-kat and have seen online... I may go back and add some extra, darker shadowing... however, I do like the fact that they colors are blended more properly with each other than what it looked like before this.
I also do not suggest downloading this image

Not unless you want this huge image taking a really long time to load

Tis huuuuuge~ 2700x3500 pixels
