Picture. Felt a longing, maybe lonely for things when it's best. Sometimes, feelings will hit me suddenly when I realize I miss the 'presence' of the past. The people I used to talk to, the things I did, songs, just general feelings. Nostalgia? But not a particular thing. Nothing will ever recapture it, just living in that state, but I count my blessings and move on, life is better now. Atleast, I think it is. It's just weird how I can yearn for a now forgotten but sentimental time in my life. I drew my old unused fursona for the occasion.

I really like how the sky came out. I have my signature 'lava lamp' that kind of makes the horizon bands look cloudy and full of bubbles. it's a weird trait of mine, I just try to capture the feeling of clouds in the sky- I can't do perfect photo realism from memory so I do a more abstract way. It also reminds me of an alien planet, and I love that.
However, I forever struggle with 'style' of water. It just never looks good, it's either too realistic, or too cluttered and blurry, or too flat. This is the best I am getting right now.

Oh, the location is based off the beaches in Puerto Escondido. Years ago I did a picture based specifically on Playa Carrizalillo. But that was years ago... old. While I drawing I was kind of lost. Then I found a photo of exactly what I imagined in my head, it was kind of weird how much it matched. Photographer, if that was your free stock photo, sorry for referencing it, but thanks for it.
