Description Picture done for Team Spike's ask blog

Haha sorry the questions have been taking so long, finals and stuff, you know? I had loads of fun with this one. I’m a big fan of the illustration/propaganda style of the pre, post-WWII era, Leyendecker, Rockwell, you know. This is a tiny omage to them. (though this was illustrated by neither of them).

Either way, I did lots of experimentation with this image, and while it looks kind of funky, I learned a couple good lessons, the next color piece I do, whatever that is, will be much improved (hopefully). Recently I’m being more and more jealous of digital artists and some of the tools they have available, but traditional media is my love. Even if I’m not good enough yet to do it justice.

Maybe a little too much confidence, but yeah, I'm totally a tinge envious of her in that respect, as weird as that may sound. And btw, thanks for your comments on Tumblr, it totally gave a cool idea for my next kind of trial picture!
