Description
"When your life seems Black n' White, make sure that you dream in color." - ~Owm'rJust one of many quotes that I absolutely adore. <3
I. Am. Exhausted.
Almost 2 weeks in the making.
Took ever single trait/trick I learned/knew in Photoshop. I even had to go onto YouTube just to figure out how to do some lighting effects and such...BUT...I got it done.
And not a moment too soon either~! Christmas is coming up and this was literally in my Top 10 list of things to get done before Christmas.
Why you ask?
Because......this is a gift.
In the spirit of the season, I wanted to give a few select individuals(for personal reasons) a present.
Now, the recipient of this particular gift has been a good friend for quite some time. Like...since I first started deviantART.
We're even friends on Facebook believe it or not.
She's always been there to talk to. Always backs me up.

Halo, you're a good friend. One of the absolute best. And in all honesty, I can't imagine what deviantART would be without you. You've made this online community so warm and friendly. You've always been so bright and colorful and intuitive...And I just wanted to paint you a piece that I thought would at the very least pay homage to some of your best qualities. Cuz let's be honest...I don't know how to paint sweet, kind, sincere and fun. Otherwise I'd have painted that too~.
I know this may sound a little silly coming from me...but you are loved...and your continuing friendship cherished.
Merry Christmas Halo.
Merry Christmas.

Aaaaa, I wasn't expecting this to be a gift for me QAQ
Girl, I totally feel the same! One of my first online friends was you when I first started here. I remember thinking that you had the best things I've seen in your gallery and that you were my inspiration. 4 years have passed and you're still one of my top inspirations. I always have loved talking to you about things related to Optimus xD
I just wish we can meet up soon in real life and just talk and talk! <3 I wish we lived in the same state so that it makes it easier to visit you whenever I can~!
Also, I read what happened from your journal about your grandpa and I just wanted to say, I am very sorry for your loss 
I'm sorry this had happened during the holidays, especially around Christmas

You're one of my best buds...of course I'm gonna make a gift for you.
And lets be honest here, you're like...one of my most favorite artists here on deviantART ever! Talking to you about Transformers and Optimus Prime and anything else we feel like talking about is always the highlight to logging on to deviantART.
Believe me...if we could meet up in real life...that would be so awesome. Especially now~
I honestly would love to just be able to be around all my best buds and just do some of the things I want to do... and just forget about some things.
That being said, thank you...
Losing my grandfather was very unexpected and painful...but having awesome people like you gives me more comfort than you can believe.
