Collaboration: Moonlit Spear Dance feat. JoonHo Seo


Drawn By: WrittenDusk
Edited and Enhanced By: JoonHo Seo 

After showing my friend, Joon, this artwork he decide to apply his Photoshop skills on to it. What came out of this kind of, rather spontaneous, collaboration was much more fruitful than I expected; and I had good expectations considering my friend's skills.

Passing the artwork through Photoshop, the feeling changed noticeably. The ethereal atmosphere was replaced with an air of importance and scale. This was achieved through reducing the glow on the person, darkening the shadows and background, and the addition of tall clouds in the sky; directing more attention to the girl than in my original drawing. 

Another point worth noting is the blade of the spear. It looks tough! Haha. The darkening of the blade and the addition of the glares makes it look harder, sharper, and more powerful. 

There is much to learn through this edit, seeing my friend's interpretation of my drawing. The range of colour especially; the trees looks closer to how I wanted it than it does in the original. 

Hope you enjoyed this special and unexpected post as much as I did. I'd like to do this again, maybe even get my other friend in on it. Maybe I can interpret one of my friend's artworks instead.

Artwork: Moonlit Spear Dance


Drawn By: WrittenDusk 

An artwork based on my most recent story idea. The scene this artwork depicts is a moment where the heroine dances a festival dance, but in a way different from what it was intended to be danced in; expressing a feeling that is similarly different. 

The main reason I decided to draw this specific scene is simply because of the spear dance. The elegance and strength within a weapon dance really inspired me, and felt extremely picturesque.
