Description Alright guys, this is it, my last try for this beautiful little lady.


This one was particularly difficult for me due to certain factors, such as glow effects and FLOWERS....SO MANY FLOWERS, I don't normally draw flowerrrrs, at least not this many.

Perhaps this is a rare rose she gets material for, for her creations.



This entry here, I admit I was inspired after listening to a song I love.  If you want to understand the emotion in this image you may want to listen to the song.

Weavers are a species that belong to bananamantis









Now I just wanna say,  if I end up losing this DTA  (I'm not saying I will!  I am actually rather proud of my entries),  I'll be fine guys, really.   If you noticed anything about my entries, it's that I did try a few new things that I normally don't do. Like these detailed backgrounds!  I used to be so afraid of doing these kind of things guys!  But this DTA has really helped me come out of my shell, and I am so happy just for that.

So guys, please,  stop saying things like  "you better win"  or  "if you don't win I'll be mad/disappointed", because I myself WONT be disappointed,  It was a pleasure just getting to practice these backgrounds  ^^ 

I hope I'll be able to do more backgrounds for art over time.

I am HAPPYYYYY I got the chance to join in on this DTA  ♥

Hhh thank you   Q Q
This was pretty much my little masterpiece among my other entries. I was so proud of this one, I still kinda am.

I wasn't even used to drawing backgrounds yet, I tried dang hard on this picture  xD

It's way better than anything I could do lmao. I will definitely order something like this from you in the future so you better prepare yourself for some kind of awesome background in my commission >: D

If you like fantasy based art or really wild stuff, you're guaranteed it with me  xD   I have the most fun with images that break reality, I don't enjoy drawing bland buildings or roads  8U

it would likely be something involving my ponies but I'd want something cool looking like the two of this character with the beautiful backgrounds

Ponies are always fun to draw~ As long as I'm not doing INCREDIBLY huge bundles of them. a small amount is fine  xD

It's likely be one or two haha. If you'd be interested, you could also order one of my reference sheets for free as partial payment for a commission at some point? c: you could tell me what you want and I'll tally up the price and we could deduct that from your commission price and I'll pay the rest. ( that's the only way I can order one right now cause I'm broke haha ) otherwise it'll be a while before I have enough saved to be able to spend some on artwork.

I might consider this since Kajitanii is taking a while with my ref sheet, but I dunno.
I'll have to think on that  BU

ok. My cheapest ones ( foal, filly, mare, cutie mark )  are only $13/1,300 and the most expensive is usually around $45. it all depends on what you'd want on it~ 
I don't know how often you look at my stuff, but here is a link to some reference sheets I've done as good/recent examples~

Aaaah this is so beautifully detailed ;u; I have a few people that I'd like to see win now, but you're definitely still one of them! It's super easy to see that a lot of effort and love went into this entry.

I'm probably not going to enter anymore, if your wondering where my entry is. uvu Because after I entered the September Weaver Giveaway I got so attached to my entry that I had a hard time caring enough about this beautiful girl. I do love all weavers and bananamantis's designs, but I want this weaver to go to a good home and I just wouldn't be the best home for her. I know my chances of winning the giveaway are slim (what with the 100+ entries xD) so I'm hoping I'll get over my custom idea in time for the next DTA if I don't win. uvu

Ahhh, It was so much fun to do, too! The roses were rather hard for me since I rarely ever draw them, but it was worth the effort, I'm happy with this pic and how it turned out  ^^

Ahhh, the September giveaway...I would have entered but I didn't want to enter two things at once, I really wanted to just throw all my work into the DTA. Lol well hey, my chances are slim here too!  Doesn't mean you shouldn't try for something you want.  Everyone has a chance and that's what matters most  :3

Pfft we went opposite directions I guess, it's kind of ridiculous how hard I worked on my giveaway entry. XD It ended up being 4 pages on a google doc....sorry, bananamantis. x'D
Too true! And no matter what somebody is going to win and it's going to make them so freaking happy - I can't help feeling happy for them, too. ;u;

Well, it is important that I look at both sides of the coin you know?   If I win, I win. If I lose, I still technically win because I learned something very important along the way.
I came out of my shell during this DTA and started trying harder on backgrounds, and I think that is equally as important!  I had so much fun with these backgrounds, even if they gave me a hard time  xD

Holy shit, you REALLY deserve to win my dear. Just look at those amazing entries!
And you have improved SO SO much in such a short amount of time, it is absolutely amazing to compare these pieces to your earlier personal art. I am absolutely blown away!
Good luck!

And if I don't win, I still learned a lot along the way  :3  
I can't wait to put actual backgrounds along side some of my other art, it would make such a difference compared to those constant transparent background images  xD

I certainly enjoyed making them, I'll have to try doing backgrounds more often for my art now   xD   I really did have such a silly fear of them...They aren't THAT hard, just difficult to try and put together at first  xP

I have no words to express how lovely this is! If pictures convey emotions, this one definitely does a wonderful job! This is just so beautiful with all its detail! Very Disney like with it's magical portrayal! You have put so much effort into your pieces and that shows. I really love your entire spirit with the contest. Good luck!
