first entree to nekophoenix's contest! 
went with a tea theme for this one! and a touch of coffee, since it was painted with both of those and a hefty splash of watercolors.
despite the overall simplicity, it's my favorite of the entrees <3

sameeeeee XD I had a whole list initially, it was hard to whittle it down to the ones I used. might do some art with dorky tea-pun mugs in it sometime to put the rest to use

and goodness, thank you!
it's hard to make it work right, honestly I'd say use the coffee/tea in place of water, and use it with regular watercolors - or brew some EXTRA dark coffee. like 1 cup water to 5 scoops coffee or more. those are the only ways I've ever gotten it to work for me

Ahhh I'm so going to have to try this! Never thought about using the coffee as water with the paint, that's genius!

HOLY CRAP so many entries, okay, I've finally gotten to them

Is this the one you asked about being okay to be monochrome?
if so, yes, and I'm so glad you went with it, because holy crap is it beautiful <3 It is WONDERFUL to see Mai again, especially in a tea-based composition, which... actually I always associate with him now since that Valerian picture I drew of him, which despite its age and mistakes is actually still one of my own favourites, so there's extra heart eyes looking at this now with that in mind!

He looks so soft and pet-able (those TAILS) and magic; you really make me want to pick up my pencils and bring him to life again!

This is an absolutely gorgeous entry; thank you so much, I love it, I really do

and goodness, thank you! I'm delighted to hear you like it so much

it's nearly impossible without watercolors or EXTRA dark blends- but it's definitely nice to pick up a picture and it smell like tasty coffee instead of paint fumes~
(I think you really ought to! you've got just the right characters for 'em c: )

same here omg I'd imagine if I were a digital artist I'd spam the heck out of the sepia filter /w\ browns are so lovely *dreamy sigh*
  and goodness, thank you X3 I thought it would be a nice touch~ (though I wouldn't recommend doing it because it smells so bizzare when it's dry lol)
