Description AHHHH

Okay, first - I love this tree. Having said that, holy god did this just about kill me. Mostly through my own stupidity, yes, but still.

Apart from the rough version of it I drew before, this is my first ever celtic knot; I taught myself knotwork and designed it in less than two days. Not recommended.

Logo for Green Tree Counseling, recently started up by a friend's dad. No use permitted, sorry.

ps: i fail at inking forever. forever.

Okay, so I tried to leave this comment earlier, but it somehow decided to transfer the comment onto someone else's profile entirely, so trying this again, the comment was:
"Holy Golden Monkeys, how awesome is this!"
There, now let's see if it STAYS here this time.

Haha! I actually did get the other comment, too, but Holy Golden Monkeys (In Stereo!) is a lovely thing to get in one's inbox xD

Thank you so much (:

I'm sorry, but I have to say no... it's a logo created specifically for someone's business. Sorry!

I have other celtic knots in my gallery that I'd be fine with you using with linked credit ("Image by [link] ">Jenna Kass [with no spaces in href or /a], jenna@jeniusart.com"), or, if you're interested, you could commission me for a unique design.

Though looking I'm at it now, and seeing so many mistakes that I made... haha. I guess I've learned some things since designing this!

I refuse to believe that you made this with two days of experience. Fuhhhhwhat.

LaughingAstarael In reply to 1425364758 [2009-08-03 05:11:57 +0000 UTC]

YES YOU DID 8D

It was achieved with massive amounts of Panic and very little Sleep. It is a recipe for win, apparently.

elderarc [2009-07-25 05:09:37 +0000 UTC]

Very nice! I recently designed one too that I haven't posted yet. I failed so badly at the inking part that I had to fix it digitally... I may later redraw and re ink it. My pen bled ; ;;;

LaughingAstarael In reply to elderarc [2009-07-25 13:05:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Aw, I'd love to see it when it's up - but omg, I seriously would have screamed. I actually did scream when I erased the pencils under my first round of inking and the ink smudged... what you see here is the result of re-inking the whole thing with a much bigger pen.
