forbidden fruit

This drawing I originally start to draw in 2010, but my hard disc died, so I didn't drew it. Now, when I got my drawings back I decided to finish it...but...I changed its concept. At first it was portrait format, but now I rotated it and cropped. I started to draw (finish) this drawing in August, but I always found something to edit and redraw. Below you can even see how many .psd files I had, that means how much I edited it (even more...if I don't count .jpg files).

Maybe you noticed that it doesn't look like my other works...I tried to experiment a little, so I drew it a little more "artistic" (hmm...or impressionistic). It doesn't have that many details...so it looks a little more like traditional painting cuz of that. Omg, I didn't use vivid colors a long time, so I painted this more colourful. Aaaaaaaaaaand...the concept. Well, you can understand this drawing like Adam and Eve from the Bible (and because of that I added that title). I drew them like that they were born by a nature (from the tree) and you can see the apple next to the character. I used diagonal composition again...I'm obsessed with it...

Something about them: His name is Brian and her's Rose. She is his "forbidden fruit" (love) , because she is married with his older brother. Even that he likes her, he can't hurt his brother. He doesn't know who he have to choose...if he chooses Rose, then he'll have woman who he loves, but he'll be without his family. Rose notices how Brain looks her and she started to like him...but after all they both decided to not have any relationships and that everything what happened will be a secret. Brian went far away from his home to search for luck and Rose was still married to Brian's brother.

Other info: Rose have long brown hair and she tie them with a rubber. Brian have shorter brown hair and brown eyes. They both dress themselves pretty simple.

I didn't count layers but I can tell that I have 26 .psd files... I edited it so many times. I believe that I had more than 100 layers, cuz every psd. file have (at least) more than 10 layers (first .psd file have more than 50 layers)
I drew it 12 hours

I hope you like it and comments are welcome

EDIT: I just uploaded details from this drawing, so you can see them here. Maybe I'll even upload the first drawing with first concept, so you can see it too. It's black and white...of course if you're interested I can post it later.
