Why this is different now isn't it. c:

Teehee, My latest Graphic Design project. :'D A bit of a breath of fresh air from my usual illustrations maybe? Well, this was obviously traced over a photo, but I'm proud of myself because nothing in the foreground of the photo was used, only the background, and I tried to modify that as much as possible.

I actually kinda like this one, even if it is a phototrace and thus gave me HELL (DON'T GET ME WRONG, I have MAD LOVE for phototrace pieces done right, you have no idea) But... I mean... COME ON!! D:'< LOOK AT THOSE RAILS!! That DOOR!! IT TOOK FOREVER!! (and you can totally tell which parts were the most tedious because they look the most half-assed. Like that stupid DOOR.)

But anyway, the reason I like it is because it's so much more... "purposeful" than my art usually is. There are REASONS for my choices other than just to go for what looks good. This isn't exactly a "new concept" to me, but I've never actually taken it too seriously before... :'D;; Hehe, Bad Melissa.

Concerning the photo ([link]), this is a picture of me at 11 years old in my FAVORITE condo in my FAVORITE place in the world, Cedar Key Florida. :3 MOST people (especially teenagers) would probably find that place SOOO boring, but I absolutely ADORE it- such a quiet, humble little fishing town. ~:heart:

Enjoy~! :'D

(P.S. I'm gonna request critiques just in case, but I'm ok with either critiques or comments, so don't feel pressured or anything silly like that.)

I really like this. I like that you left some of the actual picture in it, and added stuff. I love the blue lineart! You always change colours of blue, so it is interesting ^0^
The only thing I have to say is to make the fingers more noticeable...they sorta blend together.
