The sky is so awesome. Great lighting. Nice work. I have made some great friendships here.

Wonderful characters, sky, tree & leaves, lighting, and a great illustration of your improtant message make this a joy to view and a reminder of what is important. There is a clearity and life breathed into this beautiful art piece, and I do not think it is all just techinical skill, I think there is anso much thought and careing displayed here. Thanks so much for sharing your art, your support, and your friendshio with this community and those you have meet here, so glad I am one of them! Bravo on this fine art achivement!

I agree completely with mcv, this is a beautiful image, with a wonderful thought behind it! You are one of my best friends (and about the only friend!) and I really cherish our friendship! Great image Shan!

Very nice image and sentiment friendships mad online can support us through a lot. This I know, and have benefited from, glad you have too Shan.

Beautiful image and sentiment Shannon! Fantastic characters and background! I never would have tried my hand at graphics art without the inspiration of many of the artist here at Renderosity. I try to thank everyone who has been so encouraging and supportive of my work, but I really can't express how much I do appriciate it! Thank you, Shannon... for inviting us to express how we all feel!

Beautiful picture Shannon,nicely framed by the tree. Wonderful clouds,colours. Your Art, and others, is an inspiration to both the new and not so new and through that inspiration..many friendships have been made. It also helps us to understand and to share our feelings..happiness and sadness with others. Well done Shannon. Thank you for sharing! Keep up the good work!

Wow this is a beautiful scene Shannon!!! Beautiful friends, stay friends regardless of the distance between us!!! I need to thank the internet for helping me find some wonderful people, and for getting me close to people who live far away from me. This is beautiful artwork Shannon and that background is beautiful!!! Hugsss Frankie ^_^

Very beautiful wonderful color and thought Dayna xx

Hey, that's a beautiful illustration of a beautiful thought :) Renderosity has been such a great place to share and encourage ideas and skills - I'm glad you've got so much out of it hon, and hope you long continue to do so. As someone who spent about 13 years on the other side of the world from their family, I know how much the net can mean! Many hugs.

The lighting in this scene is absolutely great helping describe the interaction of the characters. Yes I like the balance of this picture very much. Lovely work.

Gorgeous effect of the poses!!! Brilliant work!!!

We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate. This visionary quote from Henry David Thoreau, "Walden: or, Life in the Woods". Guess, which year. Renderosity, it means all the people here - artists, beginners, merchants, art lovers, tech supporters, the administrative team. They care for us, to have important things to communicate. Our artwork, the talents given to us, fine arts as a part of human culture. I wouldn't miss it! Very moody picture, Shannon. :-) Hugs, Zwille. 1854!

Great light and a beautiful picture, nice to have you too.

Absolutely beautiful image! Gorgeous golden leaves, perfect skin tones, lovely sense of movement of their hair & of course the sky is wonderful. Excellent! :-)

Well done Shannon..and actually great thought behind it. You have been a bit faster with expressing these feelings...) My internet connection was weak and I couldnt upload my dedication to you yesterday...will do now! Its funny that I had the same kind of feelings as you have just expressed here lately. But there you go...What has this website done for me, you are asking ? Well, meeting a lot of great and talented people from around the world and....YOU ! Lots of HUGS.... Karel

Oh sweetie...what a deilghtful image and dedication. Very touching. I love the image. It is so beautiful and what you write nearly brought tears to my eyes. You are such a sweetheart. Really excellent image and very touching dedication. BIG HUGSSSSSS :-)

You know Shannon, you and I don't know each other that well, but we are alot alike. I'm physically disabled, and for most of a normal day, I'm alone in the house. I started to get really depressed a few months back, and as a last resort I posted an image and basically asked for someone to talk to. About a week later, Tee (HauSiyoka) and I started talking to each other, and she's become a sister to me since then. Renderosity is a great place, not for the art, but the people behind it. This is a great piece, and yours is a great story. Thanks for giving me a forum to share mine. HUGS Shannon. - Matt

Shannon, I'm SO deeply touched that you created this beautiful piece, based on that poem I'd sent you! How sweet! I'm glad that in reading it, it inspired to do this heartwarming piece. It's really a very meaningful piece, and I will especially cherish this one specifically because of that. When viewing this piece, although they're facing different directions, not looking at one another, I can still feel the bond that they share with each other, just beaming right through! After reading the other comments, it seems to have stirred some real heartfelt feelings on the topic of friendships in others as well! How cool is that?! Great Job, sweetie! Luv Wendy

Another fantastic render from u, Shan! Brilliant colors and nice textures! And a wonderful and touching description about how u feel about friendship.
