"Rise and Shine, Sweetheart"

Although this scene is of an apocalypse, I wanted to portray a more calmer, quiet feeling, hence I went with the sun low in the sky, and the rain just beginning to fall. I made the ghost merge with the background a little bit, to show how she is not fully part of the picture anymore for the man who has to live day by day without her. I hope that gives a sense of nostalgia and sympathy, as I felt when Jazza created this piece (I love this portrayal! It's got such a poetic feel to it).

First time on newsgrounds and entering a Jazza competition. I had so much fun with this, trying out different lighting, skies and palettes. Good luck to all!
