this picture has little in common with what it was originally supposed to become. Nefertari should actually lean one hand against a temple wall while the other hand is on her skin. somehow I just couldn't manage the latter. after i repainted the hand umpteen times, it looked like it was holding something round. well, i gave her the apple because i couldn't think of anything better. however, the apple made me think of Eva and thus of the tree. In the sketch there was even the snake in there -_- but it was blown out. For a change, the tree shouldn't look as boring as my other trees and so I was browsing Jonathon Earl Bowser's gallery and came across this tree. the idea for the autumn background came along with it. It's not all exactly as I imagined it in between, but I like the picture. i have never used so many warm colors O.o
