This is the left half of this piece.

it's a bit of a sequel to "The Quote To Last a Lifetime"

It's hard to be two in the same when your other half is gone.

Base was a hand sketch, which I inked, and scanned into CS2 and cleaned up for use as line art. It took me 4 hours to get the two halves of the heart to line up perfectly. 3 Hours cleaning up the line art, and another 5 hours painting it.

The only thing that I outsourced for were a few brushpacks which were used on the top layer to help things blend, and darken the mood. Yes, I feel like an ass using someone elses brushes, but until I get a tablet it's the best I can do. I simply can't get the quality of linear detail I want using a mouse.

Brushpacks I used (all from deviantArt) The links to these brushes are easy to find in my Favorite's gallery:
GrungeBrushes3-KeRen-R
GrungeBrushes5-KeRen-R
Stock Cracks-Anodyne
Shiny Little Brushes

Program: Photoshop CS2
Time: 12-13 hours

The other half will be done in the next few days. After that, I'll pose a question to the community.

Anti-abortionists and anti-homosexual marriage advocates don’t need laws preventing them from participating in either, so the only reason they’d vote for them is if they believe they have the right to control the lives of other people.
