Artist's Comments

Hello!

This is a commission done for the wonderful :iconfirstfear:, one of the best pixel artists I know, and she's absolutely a great person to boot! Do yourself a favor and go check out her sweet, candy-coated gallery. ;D

I don't remember her ever mentioning the name of the character, but the blond-haired girl you see before you is like a virtual representation of Firstfear, and standing next to her is her friend, Bunce. The two of them work at the Numnum Cafe (pictured in the background).

Speaking of backgrounds, I rarely do them, but I'm so glad I'm offering it as an option for my commissions right now. It's great practice and I'm finding they really do take an image to the next level!

For those who are interested, I'm still open for commissions. You can see the details here: [link] I could definitely use the help, so take a look and see if you'd like to commission me!

Firstfear and I are very happy with the image, and we both hope that you all will be, as well. Full view, and enjoy!

Adobe Illustrator CS. Sketched in Photoshop.

This image was created by me, Andrew T. Green, and was commissioned by Firstfear. The characters pictured are (c) her. This image is not for use in any way, shape, or form without the express permission of Firstfear. As with all of my commissions, I am not authorized to give you permission to use it, so please don't ask.

Wow! I seriously adore everything about this. The first thing I noticed, oddly enough, was the trees. I love the way you did her character, and I giggled a bit at the bra peek. :D

I'm a fan of both of your art, and I totally think you captured the awesomeness of her art, with the awesomeness of your art :)

God, that background is delicious. Makes me wish I'd ordered one, but my PayPal is running low. XB; I love all that color. :heart:

How do you get your Illustrator vertices so pointy?

Thank you!

Yeah, the blob's name is Bunce and I agree, he's incredibly cute. He was fun to draw!

Why, thank you! I tried very hard to capture the spirit of her artwork while making it all my own. I'm glad to hear that it was successful!

Thank you! Yes, the lolli-trees found frequently in her art were her idea, and it worked out really well. I'm glad you like them!

When you say pointy vertices, I assume you mean the tapered ends of the lineart?

And don't worry, your character is going to look awesome without a background. Sometimes simplicity is best, and I think this is one instance where you'll have to agree with me on that. ;D

Yer welcome!

That's what I meant. ^^; I've only been able to make the ends square-like. My inability to figure out most of Illustrator's functions is what's keeping me from using it instead of Photoshop for my vector work.

The more I look at the sketch, I may just have to! I've made it my desktop wallpaper and I can't stop staring because it's so pretty. *_*
