This was A LOT of fun. A good friend of mine who likes to go by Saria Cross sketched this out and gave it to me. Although she denies it, I still have my suspicions that it was originally intended to be me and my boyfriend >.>

I used Paint Tool SAI for the lineart and most of the pic, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for some of the gradients. Well actually all except the hair. It turns out SAI has a really good blur for making gradients, and it REALLY would have been nice to know that earlier on.

Disclaimer: While I did do the lineart and coloring, the original sketch belongs to my friend Saria Cross. The characters, whoever they are, belong to her. Unless the girl is supposed to be me, in which case that character belongs to me. But she denies that it's me, and anyways the boy has the wrong hair color (she told me which hair colors to use). Oh my, I'm ranting again. Should probably stop now...

NOTE (added later): It is actually one of Saria's sisters, and the dream guy they made up for a story they started writing. It was a good story, but they're not writing it any more...
