Description
~entry for =firstfear 's Mother Earth contest~After my first doll I realized that I can't draw cartoonish people the way others draw them, but I can draw my own style of abstract looking people. This girl looks like most of my random doodles, so I was pleased with the way she came out. Limbs are bent, head is small, appendages are elongated, and I'm satisfied with that.
The background is supposed to be like clay or something with animals carved in it. There's a sea turtle, eagle, squirrel, snail, and a snake hidden in the top of the largest circle. The rocks/dirt clods the girl is holding represent the earth just as the clay does, and they spin counter clockwise to represent the earth's rotation.

That is so kick ass! I like how you animated it and the theme of it. I love nature, and I love the ocean more. (I don't love anything close to my love.) But thats beautiful! +Fav.

For some reason, I want it to be interactive. o_O (i.e. "Click the butterfly! Watch the hummingbird go! *.*")

Only thing I would say is I'm not too sure if her head is a bit too squished, but a very good job, besides that.

Really awesome ^_^ That drawing style of yours there is awesome

This is beautiful...the scattered shading adds to the illusion of the "clay" effect. The abstract way you drew the girl is different from your generic anime girl, which makes it even more interesting.

The design is fantastic. The fresh shapes and the tropical setting makes the picture full of life and vitality. The variety of life forms, patterns and symbols is breathtaking.
The shading in this picture is one more demostration of your amazing skill with that grainy dithering. The choice of colors seems just perfect, especially the girl's skin.
If I wanted to be a cruel nitpicker, I would only say that I can't see why the left hand is in that position, and the animation is not smooth enough. But at this resolution, you can't really make a good animation. It's so hard to find flaws in this work anyway.
This picture has a well-deserved place in my favs. I already stared at it for half an hour.

Yeah, I wanted the animation to be smoother too, but that's the set back of drawing something kind of big.
As for the left hand, I was going to place something animated there at first such as fire or something representative of the 4 elements, then I thought it'd be too busy in that area if I did. Now her position kind of reminds me of that of Siva, Hindu goddess of creation. Goddess of Creation... Mother Earth... they're kind of similar, so I left the hand as it was.

Amazing! I could never do pixel art. I love how you did the animation of the rocks revolving above her hand in a circle...
