Description her hair a mass of mess
but she can't care less
for it will soon be new year
and still there are
unfulfilled resolutions from last year

when the first drop of snow falls
the first thing she recalls
is to make a new resolution
of never making new year resolution

ever again
the end
***

My 'happy new year' card. I wanted to make it a christmas card as well but obviously I was late
Um, Illustrator for around ... 6 hours? Hope you like it
And an early happy new year from me XD

A very nice piece of drawing I would give a subtle suggestion Maybe the lower part of the picture is a bit crowded and repetitive? Still... you are improving a lot

Beautiful composition, especially the contrast between styles on the snowflake the on the girl (who, by the way, is absolutely beautiful ___). I simply adore those lips and lashes

git2 In reply to Elvedee [2005-12-31 02:14:12 +0000 UTC]

thank you! i'm not sure the poem suits everyone's taste, but i got the inspiration from roald dahl's book. he made narrative writing rhymed and i loved it so much that i thought it would be fun to write a story that rhymes XD

i love the snowflakes, they're like lace...i like how you don't use too much color, just a little, yet it stands out! : )

git2 In reply to BlueBumbleBee [2005-12-29 01:46:25 +0000 UTC]

thank you! actually i tried to put more colors but somehow it didn't work. probably there's something with the drawing style that demands muted colors.

glad you like the snowflakes, i was afraid it was too simple

AWW !! We love it! Have yourself a wonderful time^^
That's a great pattern, you should use it for something else as well XD

git2 In reply to mengli [2005-12-29 01:39:44 +0000 UTC]

i thought the snowflake was a bit too ... simple but anything more complicated just didn't seem right. the only reason why i developed this from the rough sketch was because i fell in love with the girl's expression and her pouty lips, hehe.

thanks so much for the comment, it really made my day ^^

I'm glad your happy^^ Because I wouldn't have said anything less as it is just brilliant!
Simple designs often make the most wonderful things!! Don't forget that.

i'll keep it in mind for the advice!
