音時雨 ~Regentropfen~

✾ After a "small incident"

Let me call this weekend a nostalgic mode of Biohazard 3. I've done 3 rounds in total during the past 2 days, which then make a total of 6 times clear in this game. Since I used to play on the PC version and just switched to PS1, I still need to do it at least 5 times in order to see all epilogues.
While it's just hard for me to get a S rank! The hunters are there so I can't dare to do no-save runs, and I can't go across zombies/etc without getting damage.. °A°

But I simply love the feeling of radio control! (*´▽`*)

While the main topic today is about what I've made on this Friday -- purely on a sudden impulse, although what actually I finished is entirely different from my initial concept (which is not strange at all!) in terms of the global make up.
Based on Suga Shikao's "Loveless", what appeared in my mind was mostly "cold" stuff, especially rain -- so I get to include an umbrella (and for a moment I was trying to dye it to be like the one from Biohazard)! As for the choose of character, from I → C → Y → L and finally → M. I also tried to integrate a little aura resembles Makise Kurisu (it's so true that I can't stop masking it with a beautiful strikethrough!!).
The background was supposed to be with a more abstract background made up by line art and this kind. Just because recently I've got a few inspirations on Photoshop, when I played around to arrange some candidate photo references my mind was changed. I wanted to draw a more real background and try out the new Photoshop techniques.
The brick path, similar to what I did in the previous: shadowing + blurring on the strokes with an overall grediant; the flowers/trees were kind of new to me: an irregular shaped brush with colour/size/space jitter did the job; the sky was of the most fun, because of the crepuscular rays (the first time I drew it from scratch)! However, I couldn't get the proper effect for a just-stopped-light-rain feeling (need to find more examples, maybe I'll try it out next time..).
Obviously, doing such a background is fun, and of more freedom as an existing photo can't be fitting into the fore character for most of times, even it does fit, it's not easy to post-photoshop it.
The result doesn't look bad, while the PSD file is over 400 MB before being compressed (the fault of flowers?!).

The Lingering Tune
↑ The title is ambiguous(?) as usual. So I'm thinking maybe it's time to introduce sone "background" about my girls! xD
