I finished this last night, but once I got it done I started feeling really tired and second-guessing myself with the colors I used because I'm not used to to having so many different colors at once like this, for example, just look at my last few Easter pinups:

But one of the most difficult things you have to learn as an artist is to know when your project is FINISHED. Another hard thing sometimes is remembering the difference between art and design. That one might just be for me or anyone else who majored in graphic design ^_^. This isn't a logo or a mailer or something.

But I knew this this she couldn't just be in front of a backdrop, not after I put so much effort into expressing how much she's laying flat like that, AIR isn't gonna smush her breasts down like that. Using the colors to simulate grass and sky worked for that, especially since I knew I didn't want to do a full-on landscape for this. And I deliberately wanted the type to NOT be too prominent-- another thing that flies in face of what I was taught in college, but I liked how it worked in last year's (the purple one, in case the "Easter 2017" didn't tip you off ^_^) so I wanted something similar here.

And at any rate, this is the closest we're gonna get to a nice, cheery, springlike Easter up HERE! Gonna be cold and overcast and rainy and possibly snow-- DEFINITELY snow in the U.P., they're calling for up to half a foot. And staying true to tradition, LAST week was downright lovely: warm, birds chirping, trees budding, all the telltale signs that spring had come at last.

April Fools on US, I guess.
