Description 2009

No, not the blue hedgehog, sorry Here's something special I thought I lost years ago (this is a stupid ugly scan, since I lost the digital file ).
It's a birthday card I made~ What makes it cool is that the striped balloons are actually the inside of the card showing through balloon-shaped holes cut out of the front. It's easy to tell because I was so lazy with cutting them out, the edges are all jagged, heh...

Anyone wanna give coloring this a try? Cuz the original black and white line art file has actually survived... [link]
Also, was inspired by ~luve 's lovely art again.

This is really cute and lively. I like how the balloons are actually holes showing the inside of the card.

No, I haven't seen it in person... did you do words on the inside too?
I'm sorry you still feel like crap :/ I was wondering how you were doing... So did you skip yer practicum today, or did you feel okay enough to go?

I had to skip it. I didn't feel better until around 1 today. I was all dizzy and light-headed too. I'm not sure what the heck happened but I guess it's over.

Haha, yeah it just says "Happy Birthday" on the inside, with red stripped presents. It looks horrible though lol.

Hooray for stripey balloons Your older stuff is really interesting to look at, keep 'em coming That hedgehog is so cute too, though I didn't know they had tails I love this one so much for being in the sky, argh, Im such a sucker for this sort of thing, and outer space things Its so simple, its very appealing to the eye, and for some reason, it all looks a bit more like traditional work than digital work

The only thing I would suggest is toning down the reds on the balloons, maybe to a pastel red, since the sky uses semi pastel sky blues, and using a bold red makes the balloons stand out a bit too much, but then again, it is one of your older works

Oh my god, super cool artist This ~luve artist's work is so amazing Thank you for showing me

Incidentally, this is the last old thing I had left to post... Except for maybe this [link] which I posted a long time ago in comparison. I was thinking of re-submitting it to get better feedback, since I was pretty much an unknown and inactive deviant back then. Not sure though

I had to google it just now, but hedgehogs do have tails I knew about your weakness for outer space, but not sky! And it prolly looks more traditional cuz it's kinda a combination of digital and traditional. Cuz I made it digitally, then printed it and cut the balloon shapes out. But I lost the digital file, so I had to scan the actual card, which kinda makes it look weird... oh well. And yeah, I'd color this completely differently if I were to do it now, haha, but I do appreciate you pointing that out cuz I can't really look at this thing objectively anymore. Thanks!

I know, isn't she great??

Awww

Oh my god, that is so cute! Must favorite and comment!

Really? Huh, whenever I looked at pictures of hedgehogs, I didn't see a tail Maybe they're so small its hard to see

Yep I'v always had a weakness for anything high up, which includes the sky, but mostly outer space Ah, I see Though the backround also looked a bit traditional to me too, like it was painted with watercolor Thats a too bad that the digital file got lost, since printers aren't always reliable (they would sometimes crop stuff off of the picture, or would sometimes print the picture with colors that are completely different than the original file ) But either way, it still turned out super awesome

No problem. I love your Sonic art, I should've found it earlier.

Haha, nah, I haven't been a Sonic fanartist for too long actually, so it's kinda hard to find me I think. Thanks though, I'm glad you like my work! Hopefully I'll get some more Sonic art lined up here soon, I haven't done any for a while.
