This is gorgeous! I love the lines and the colors so much. I want to mat and frame this, and then hang it above my desk so I can loook at it all the time. Fabulous work, CD.ย ย

Hi, Rairakku! Thank you!
TBH, I already matted and framed it! It has a nice yellow mat with a bright orange inner mat, and a brassy-looking frame! We're about to move, so it's going to go on a wall in our new place. I was so excited, because I hadn't matted anything since I was a teenager.

That sounds like a gorgeous color combination. I can only imagine the colored mats really make the colors in this piece pop. Ngl, I kind of want to see a picture of it framed. ย
And you're moving?! Congratulations! That's great news. Curious as to if you got a place where you can do more gardening.ย

I love colored mats! My high school art teacher always loved them, so she made sure we understood just how awesome they are. I can see if I can get a picture of it! It's really nice!
Yes, we are! There's a little fenced in front area beside the driveway that's full of gravel, so yes! I'll have a little patio garden there, as well as a big glass door on the other side to put some plant racks by. My step-mother gave me about a dozen little violet plants, so hopefully they'll find a good home there.

Thank you! I actually colored it by hand, because that's easier for me than using photoshop.

Using PS is a good tool, too! Especially for backgrounds! I have trouble with it sometimes, though haha.
Thank you!

Ah but it would be incredibly easy if you know what kind of background you have in mind. When you don't have the general idea of your specific background, it would be extremely hard to try to make. All you have to do is picture it in your head and try to spread it on a canvas.
Btw, were both on the same contest so let's see how this plays out.ย
Mega ultra good luck my friend. May the best artist win....Although there's no such thing as a best artist. We both have our own unique style.

Yup! Most of the time, I have no idea what I want in the background because I'm too focused on what the characters will be doing! This was really the first piece I've done in a long time where I had a clear idea and worked it out before even doing the foreground.
Oh! So we are! I knew your piece, but I didn't realize it belonged to you when you commented! Yes, good luck, and thanks for the well wishes! :3

I'm going to ask the screenprinter I was originally going to use on Monday if he can hook me up with the person he referred me to! If I can get them, I'll drop you a note!

I only recently found out his name and found out that I'd loved him for years. It's nice to find other people who know of him, too!

Just drop me a note with your name and address! I'm talking to the screenprinter I work with about doing the t-shirts, and as soon as I have something concrete, I'll let you know!

Thank you! I didn't realize there were that many colors of yellow in my collection until I was finishing it up today! Almost every single separate yellow section there is a different shade!
