Let me play for you

Here I'm! This is the prize-commission for *Syrrhaal! He wond the second place in the "Familiar Affair" contest: [link]

These are his two original characters, August and Philippe.
August is in his angelic. His personality is very much interesting: he's gentle and positive, with great warm heart and he also posses healing powers that he greatly uses to save other people. He was a a very talented musician, with piano and violin.
Here, I imagined him while is guiding Philippe (the noble gentleman he is in love with) to play the violin.

I loved painting this one!! It was a sort of challenge for me: first of all 'cause I don't like painting hands!! It's too much difficult! And it was hard to paint hands palying a violin! >_< But I'm quite satisfied of the result.
Secondly I tried to make a shiny skin for the angel, without using any photoshop effect.... Is not so shiny, I've to say, but I think is fine!

I entirely painted it with Photoshop and my Wacom tablet.
I used some references:
