Looking back...

Description

Another of my major art projects from this semester. I will say, it was really nice to be able to return to an old concept and actually finish it out for once in my life. :D Only have minor regrets with this one. It would probably have benefited from some sort of depth of field effect to focus things in? (Though I doubt I'd have been able to pull it off if I'd tried so~ :lol:).

And while not an actual regret, because I did it for a reason and I think the image is better for it, there was also the decision to, um. Mix... almost all of the purple. The only purple pastel that I used was for the stems of the flowers; everything else was magenta blended with blue.

Which basically means that I drew all of those fronds three times over; blue, 'red', blend + some lighter pink. And then working blue into all of the gaps and lower sections to shade.

So. Many. Squiggles. :stare:

But, yeah. Host astronaut--or maybe diver? I've been rethinking the scene a bit--with some ominous space/deep-sea plant. :D Flower shapes are based off of wax plant blossoms, which--yes those are real. We have a wax plant ourselves and it's done its best to scent the entire house for the past couple of summers. :XD:

I'm even afraid to imagine how many time you spent on such a perfection. It's so much work. I admire this. *keeps exploring gallery*
