Description Lame name...couldn't think of a better one.


I’ll be making about 10 prints for this picture. If you’re interested, please send me a note.
Print (will be signed as well ^^) $9
Shipping Handling $3
=$12
(money order at the moment only ><..sorry)



This started out as a doodle when I was almost bored to death in the class room. It was the second first day of school and and I were over 4 hours early for our next class. Reason is we went to school early because of drop-in figure drawing classes. (T_T…three hours of it, that’s our homework every week… it costs us $5 per drop in… homework that costs us. Who would have thought? One of the reasons why I’m going broke ever so often. Not to mention the bus pass I have to buy every month… $69. Being a college student SUCKS! I’ve been sacrificing lunch like every other day because of this… It’s like you can’t buy a decent lunch under $5 at the freaking cafeteria. So I’ve been living off vending machines lol! God Bless them.) I don’t think I should get a job either. The work load is going to stack up…I can feel it. It’s the calm before the storm.

Annnyywaaay…nuff of that rant

Like I said… it was a doodle...then I had time, so I threw a background to save myself from boredom. After, I got bored so I fell asleep on the couch.

I think this is actually the first time I did a background on Photoshop! That organic tree looking thing in the foreground took most of my patience. It was coloured three times because I was stupid enough to forget to use reference, so it was mostly done with trial and error.

The light source especially on the orbs is ambiguous because the light was supposed to becoming from within the orb. But oh well. Don’t want to make it look more like a light bulb then a gem stone.

My mom said this picture reminds her of Halloween. ^^

This piece didn’t come out the way I imagined it to be. Then again, how often does it?

I love this picture and the atmosphere it creates and i think you drew the clouds really welll, they just kind of glow in the moon light!I feel really sorry for you-needing to pay so much at school!!! I don't know which country you live in but in England, they are banning vending machines from next september!!! How are we going to live I have no-idea....
Anyway, good work, would love to see more soon!!!

This is very beautiful work! I know how you feel about the broke college student thing. Being an art major isn't easy, but I think that it'll be worth it in the long run. Here's to being bored in class!!

CELTICPRINCE [2005-10-04 05:35:37 +0000 UTC]

Love this piece .. oh god i love this piece. if i could i would by all the prints of it lol.

sorry to hear about your financial probs with school there.. is there a restuarant close by you could eat at instead of the school? might be chaeper if there was.

if you do get a job id recomend a low stress part time one so you dont get burned out. i will soon be feeling the same pain you are, what with working full time in a middle managment position trying to support my self and become a full time student at the same time lol. it going to be a blast . just remeber its all worth it in the end when you get that degree.

ferus In reply to CELTICPRINCE [2005-10-04 05:42:41 +0000 UTC]

LoL! Nope! No resturant near by! Our school is surrounded mostly by highways and trees and townhouses.

><...paying for school is a pain...I bet a lot of ppl are having it worst then me tho lol. Ouch... work and school at the same time ><...thats hard to manage. Yep! As long as you're enjoying school, it's all good!

Eeeeeee!!! That's so pretty. T___T; I'm tempted to order, but....
Sorry about not being able to send in that money order back. Do you still have the prints? The post office is giving me all sorts of trouble with getting my money back from them, so I think I'll just forget it and get the IMO and send it off~ hopefully tomorrow, so you'll get it soon. I'm so sorry for everything!!!!

There are lots of items to admire in the picture, but I really must point out the A+ background work here. Those purples and silvers create a great mix of atmosphere and seamless transition between the moon and the mountains.

It's so gorgeous. The colors go along so well and there's so much going on, but it's not ridiculously over-whelming. I love the moon's light illuminating on the clouds. Well done!

VERY cool. *__* Oh mah gaaawd. I love everything about this. It's great when everything in a piece works--not JUST the character or JUST the bg. This has both very well done and reinforcing each other. AWESOME job. ^___^
