This is my submission for Jazza Challenge of the Month (January 2018). The lineart belong to Jazza, the coloring is my doing.

Here is the Making of reference picture with some explaination of how I did this effect: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/soraleoyfaith/making-of-jazza-challenge-of-the-month-january-2018-color-of-lost

This was a Fun Challenge as I experimented with a new color technnique. The fact that it wasn't my lineart probably allowed me to let go and push it a bit further. Also I had to reduce the format size cause it was to big to upload here.

My own special challenge with this was to put the grief in more evidence, and concentrate less on the apocalyspe part of it , For me the line art was more telling me this is a after everything is say and done moment. You tell me in the comment below if it was you feel about this too or if I was wrong about that.

I set it a sunset because we tend to see thing that are not really there at sunset and it make a pieces warm and lot of contract , I created 3 focal point, 1 for the flower for love and 2 other on the tier with the sparkle for gief. I a bit scare that it make it to much shoujo manga but I think it appropriate.

Well I hope you enjoy I had a lot of fun making it .
