Calm before the Storm

Description

Horrid title, I know but I couldn't think of anything else xD;

So there are 3 main reason for this piece.
1. It's a birthday gift for myself x3;
2. I wanted to break out of my comfort zone with my art and try something different. I suck with sitting poses and backgrounds, so it was a good chance to practice.
3. I'd like to get a print account soon so I want to try to do higher quality works.

Eitherway, it's of my most beloved character and muse, Reyn. Though why she's sitting on a rock in the middle of nowhere is beyond me xD;
I'm sure the light source if off so we'll just pretend that there's one of her left as well as behind her >.>;; To do the clouds and some of the water, I started following a tutorial [link] but halfway through I started doing my own thing (which is why the clouds are so random) xD; I'm pretty pleased with the background though with my luck I'll probably never produce anything as good again.

Let's see. Reyn herself took me about 2 days to color while surprisingly the background only took 3 hours. Reyn was sketched on paper and scanned. Everything else was done in photoshop
