Oh, thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. I'm sorry this comment is SO late, I got totally buried in stuff I had to do. But I really do appreciate it! This was such a fun card to do.

This really does look amazing, with all those details and gorgeous clothes and colouring. Such a lovely combination of autumnal colours as well as the slightly creepier trees and graveyard style fence. Your ATCs are looove.

Love the details in this, and in such a small card as well, i especially like the border, although i have always wondered what candy corn is actually like - we don't have it here.....
Halloween is nearly upon us!!

temiel In reply to aryiana [2010-10-18 22:48:39 +0000 UTC]

Ah, thanks! I love doing these little cards. They're so fast, it's always really satisfying to make something that feels like a finished piece of art in an hour or so.

Candy corn is one of those things I think you either love or you hate. Personally, I really like it! It's VERY sweet and soft, almost like an extremely dense marshmallow without the spongy texture. It's got a little bit of a honey flavor to it as well. If you can get your hands on a little bag, you should try it! Hell, if you want, I can send you some in the mail.

i know what you mean about finishing something quickly, most creative things take a lot of time (especially for you to think of it as finished) and sometimes it's nice to be able to finish something in an evening....does not happen with me much, unless i have a deadline i am a terrible procrastinator - i also flit from one thing to another alot which is another reason things that are quick are great for me!!

huh, i always thought candy corn was a hard candy - i have no idea where i got that from but it was one of those odd misconceptions - I think i am going to have to try to get hold of some, afterall halloween is the traditional candy corn holiday (i assume i am right about this....) Thank you for the offer , but i could not ask you to do that, lord knows what postage would cost, i shall have a look online, there must be somewhere i can get it here....you can get everything else these days!!

temiel In reply to SailorDarkness [2010-10-18 22:35:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah, thanks! The magnifying glass is actually taken from Miss Marple's real costume from the TV show, I just had to put it because it's so recognizable. :3 I'm so glad you like it! I was DEFINITELY feeling the Halloween love.

Larissa-Bright [2010-10-17 22:02:25 +0000 UTC]

I know it's Hazel, but I quite like pretending this is a young Miss Marple because I love Agatha Christie SO VERY MUCH. You've crammed a lot into such a small space - this is a skill I lack!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

temiel In reply to Larissa-Bright [2010-10-25 01:57:42 +0000 UTC]

Sure, you can totally pretend that if you like! Never having read any Agatha Christie, I honestly don't know much about her, but she was fun to do anyway. I LOOOOVE cramming a ton of crap onto my cards. I just keep thinking about that time that I put two full-body figures and a background... OH YEAAAAAH. Very small art=.

O....M....G....!
TEMIEL!!!!!! This is my first piece of artwork from you and I am really really floored by it! *see me flooring*
This is...wow. This is so breath taking, so amazing!! I absolutely love the clothing that you put her in - it screams Miss Marple! I love it so much!!!!! I wish I could say I am a loss of words for it, but I am so over taken by this, it was really a great thing to wake up to this morning!

The magnifying glass is such a sweet touch, it adds a "cuteness" to the image. I LOVE the border BTW it is really really spectacular, you really did an amazing job on this! Really blown away by this.

It is so Hazel!
I love it so much!
You are amazing, thank you so much

temiel In reply to PhantasmMarquesses [2010-10-17 18:50:35 +0000 UTC]

OMG, yay!! I'm so glad you like her! That costume was surprisingly fun to draw, considering how strait-laced it is. It suits her, I think! Seriously, I'm ultra-pleased that you like it. I'll tell you right now that the black looks far nicer in real life; for some reason it came out a bit light in the scan. Note me your address any time if you want me to send it to you!

PhantasmMarquesses In reply to temiel [2010-10-17 20:05:14 +0000 UTC]

I agree! I cannot wait until I get a few books in and can write a Halloween novel with her, she is totally dressing up as Miss Marple lol. I am very pleased with this image, it makes me one to cry in all honesty. It is very breath taking, very amazing. I always know how scanners are so no biggie on it!!

Caroline-DG [2010-10-17 18:39:16 +0000 UTC]

Awesome colouring! The hat looks rather cute. :3 And so does the magnifying glass.
The border gives the drawing a very fall-ish feel... that's probably not at all the right way to say it but... whatever... 8D

temiel In reply to Caroline-DG [2010-10-17 18:54:06 +0000 UTC]

YAY, thanks! I'm glad you think so. The colors, I think, are nicer in RL than in the scan. I'm also glad you like the border! At first I wasn't at all sure of how to "finish" this image, but it added just the right touch, I think. I LOVE autumn leaves!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Caroline-DG In reply to temiel [2010-10-17 18:59:12 +0000 UTC]

I suppose so but then again... all scanners kill colours. T_T
I love autumn leaves too! Actually, the red, orange and yellow coloured leaves are the only things I like about autumn.

Aw, thanks! I'm glad you think it does. I absolutely LOVE fall, so I always get kind of a warm fuzzy feeling from pieces that use it as a motif.
