Description Nooooo! I missed November!


December crept up so stealthily, I didn't even see it coming!  I'd meant to have something finished for the month of November, so I could do another one of those monthly art summaries for 2013.  Oh well.  I started this one on November 30, so I think I can still use this for that month.  And even if I shouldn't, I'm going to.


When I was younger, I put a bunch of glow-in-the-dark stars on my bedroom ceiling, so that when I went to sleep, I could gaze up and see the stars as I fell asleep.  Then one night as I was in bed, I looked up, and instead of making out a constellation, I saw the figure of a relaxing puff from the neck down.  So, that's how I drew Ballad here, in that pose, gazing up at the same pattern as is on my ceiling.  Hopefully you can see what I see; it was always a nice image to have in my head as I drifted off.


You'll also notice that I've added a skirt to Ballad's wardrobe, as well as changing her shorts to black.  I think this suits her well.


I might come back to this and add shading, but I was working on this so much today that I just wanted to upload it as soon as I could.  I'm really tired, and I work tomorrow morning, but this was worth it.


Ballad belongs to *GeoffNET (me)

I would insert "Fireflies" by Owl City for this art that you did. I love it!

Ah, I totally see the puff body in the stars And I like Ballad's new black shorts, they go nicely with her white skirt.

Thanks! Yeah, I think the contrast works really well.  Perhaps this'll be her last design change... perhaps.

The glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling will never come off. I love them so much. And I love this picture so much. It's so relaxing and Ballad is in such a cute pose oh goodness.

You have stars too? Nice! I can't picture my room without them anymore.

 

Did you catch the subliminal image in this picture?

Yes-maybe! I love that pose so much...


And thank you for your earlier words!  I've been wanting to do one like this for awhile now, I just didn't know it.

It's always fun experimenting with PPG style poses. Even if it is hard because they lack normal people things such as necks and shoulders.

I'm thankful for having jobs that let me do what I love, a super-glue strong relationship with my mom, and online friends that mean as much to me as real-world friends.
