Description I made this for my Studio Art class, at the last minute no less. It's lightly based on a dream I once had--I was at a beach with incredibly clear, blue water, and it was populated by cute little crabs like the ones seen in my illustration. There were also random pillars of silver or steel, which were much more evenly-shaped and consistent in silvery-color.

This was also a personal test of how to use the Add and Subtract layers on Open Canvas 1.1, and I think I have the hang of it. Oh my effin' gawd I LOVE this program to bits. It strikes a really nice balance--OC is simple to understand, but still has enough tools to get the job done. The "old" blur tool is SO COOL. 8D It's really high-quality for something that's free, and doesn't have any major issues apart from the glitch that happens when you combine negative layers. Yeah. Take that, Photoshop.

Haha, I type a lot when I'm tired. It's 2:30 in the morning. ._.; Sorry about that.

You didn't even really need the artist's comments thing to see this was inspired by a dream; it just has that quality about it.
The pillars, the see-through quality of the girl... really nice work. ^^

xDD Well then, laziness worked. As well at the fact that it was two in the morning. Somehow, the best ideas alwasy seem to be contrived very early in the morning. And then, youre all tired and stuff, so it's like "Gah, I need rest =.= But this idea begs to be brought to life! >< "

...AH! Zombie!

Oh boy, yes yes yes. Most of my fics have been written through the night. It's kind of annoying, actually. 8D But those ideas, when on a creative streak...they're like ninjas. Thrusty, annoying ninjas. 8DDD

Speaking of ninjas, my friend and I have been singing yesterday about...

NINJA TRAPEZOOOOOIDS~!

IT'S...BEAUTIFUL.
Aah, I remember seeing the original sketch of this when we were fooling around on your laptop. Awesome times.
If you don't get an A on this amazing piece of art, the teacher has no soul. NO SOUL, SAYS I.
