Description "pleasant memory
ending upleasantly
even if i have the sweetness
it comes with the bitterness
at the end of the day
is it another memory to store away?"
***

My question is:
Will pleasant memory become less pleasant if it ends unpleasantly?

Because I just had a wonderful experience these last weeks, but the ending to it was rather disappointing for me. All of the sudden, that wonderful memory wasn't as cheerful as I remembered.

But then I compared it with another wonderful memory that ended nicely. ... I had no recollection of it at all because there weren't anything to remember but some comforting afterglow.

So ... ?

Info on the illustration:
Sketch: ~1 year old (Jan '07)
WIP time: >10 hours (I'm getting rusty)
Illustrator 10, no tweaking in Photoshop & no texture overlay because I like the smoothness of vector art ^^

Exactly my feeling today!
I love flowers in her hair.

(if you dont mind, my only criticism is french, it should be "parce qu'aujourd'hui je ne suis pas contente", but your version is cute too )

I agree, the colours work well, and i love the expression of the girl

git2 In reply to ericandrobbie [2008-03-25 14:00:18 +0000 UTC]

thanks! the girls' expression is rather accidental
i never intended her to be beautiful, just want her to leave a stronger impression rather than just being pretty.
