Out of all the oldest artworks I've made in the past, this is the best work I've done while learning the basics of Photoshop during my high school years. Everything was done by scratch with a brush and smudge tool except for the water texture. The texture was taken from my school photography camera and imported the photo for your own use somewhere in the canvas. I also discovered and learned basic uses of the program such as flip, filters and layers.

There's nothing worthy, deep or a hidden story behind this work other than just a beginning practice of using the software.

However, the characters are my original characters, Gary and Lenzo. But they're discarded and unused in future content. I may draw Gary because he's the main character out of the 50+ characters I've created from the past to represent a particular dream, job or future.

Until now (during the previous update on the 10th of June, 2019), depression overtook most of my school years and all the characters of my imagination were taken into darkness (shadows as enemies) as I no longer remember or care about my old project along with what I truly want to be when I grow up as an adult.

I don't need to tell you the entire lore or story behind my retired project but other than what I've said above. You're free to guess about this digital painting.
