The good and beautiful in a person
Dear gawd I still can't believe I drew this.
This drawing has been on a bit of a crazy journey, since I had no original intentions for it to turn out like this.
My brain just doesn't cooperate with things, but hey, the ride to the finish is fun.
This started out as just me goofing off and testing some things out.
I saw this and got really inspired by the top part. I wanted to try and get a similar affect, so I started off with blue. Then I just kind of got off track and made layers and layers of blue in very little gradients and I rather liked it. It sat like that for a while. I tried adding a little boat since it looked like the ocean, but that proved to be made entirely of fail.
I messed around with stuff over top of it making it all abstract-y and odd before something led me to make a city. Then, before I knew it, I was zoomed in as close as could be, working with individual pixels. x3 After I got the city done, I messed around more, blurred the background and added a sun, then voilà!
My neck and hands hurt, but I think it was really worth it.
To explain the title a bit, I really felt good and happy to be working on a bigger art project again. I've done sketches and lots of traditional stuff, but nothing big like this in a while. I also just like nice, big, fancy words. u.u
Thanks for viewing! <3
