I know, this piece has been in my gallery before. I deleted it when I was trying to get it submitted to a physical gallery I live near and since I missed the boat on that I decided to resubmit it here because I can't stand not having it in my gallery.

Sketched traditionally in my lovely and close to full sketchbook. Roughly an hour.
Scanned and cleaned up in photoshop then painstakingly painted and smeared and so on. Hours upon hours.
Total time elapsed. Most likely took me a few weeks all told. I'd like to redo the clouds but can't find the right file to make the changes on.

Please re-fav ^^;

:D Thanks Gravi. I look at this and go " This is mine? YES!! *arm pumping and hopping up and down in excitement ensue* :giggle: I wish that I could just do this all the time. But being sick I just haven't felt the artistic urge. But I have some sketches I'm gonna mess with til I'm happy and then scan and try and do some more in this style of painting simply because it's so much fun learning how to do it. I lost all my tutorial bookmarks, do you know of any that'd be any good?

Meh, what get better? I strive for your level : P And someday, if I keep you away from the Tutorials I'll reach it. otherwise you'll just keep getting higher than me! :D By the way woman! I still think of that one picture you did of you and a friend listening to cd players and you chewing on yours. :D I love that.

:D Yeah! We rock! *bleargh* I had to go wash my makeup off. Yeach! I pretty much quit wearing makeup cept for eyeliner and mascara for a while and my face finally cleared up. Stinking foundation. Anyway I put on the whole schlameel today. Messy. :/ I have the alarm clock set for 6am... let's hope it works despite the fact that it's a little busted and the alarm light keeps blinking on and off like it's not gonna work!!

I'd rather have those shifts honestly. It's so much easier to STAY awake that to get up in the mornings :(
