Trick r' Comments

Preferably comments for your sake.

So this has to be one of the worst cases of one thing lead to another in the history of my history.

Originally it was 1 in the morning and I was trying to teach my good friend JakeTheJtrain from habbo hotel how to use Photoshop.
So to kill time I decided to draw a side prof face without the outlines for practice.
This somehow lead to me browsing DA which brought me to #justforfaun.
This gave me the idea that it would be a good idea to draw Elora and practice some hair and eye's without outlines as well.
Once that was finished I figured the image itself didn't scream "ELORA" so I pushed forward to add her signature green tube-top which eventually became a bra because I'm lazy.
While drawing her bra I ended up drawing an upper-arm which looked pretty good so I didn't want to erase it but that left me with this awkward arm that I didn't want to draw the rest of. This brought me to complete the rest of her torso to try to do a fade off bust shot.
Unfortunately that didn't look the way I wanted it to so I thought maybe it would be perfect if I curled her tail around her body to make a nicely rounded image.
Once that was complete I was ready for submission so I logged into deviantart and for whatever reason clicked on *artisteviolet's avatar before I began the submission process and saw she had submitted a new deviation of a very colorful Malefor and I realized that my picture SERIOUSLY lacked color.
At which point I figured it looked like she was staring at something anyway and I added a purple silhouette of Spyro. This ended up being too much of the same color but I was already in love with the concept so I turned him black and slapped a fade to transparency gradient on him. Once again I was ready for submission.
Buuuuuut then I remembered I was back to the lack of color issue.
SO to add some extra interest I added the word Daydreaming just to get the point across and because I felt like it was one of those images that needed a word in it for whatever reason idk. XD Threw a gradient on it and was once again ready to call submission.
BUT AGAIN I thought the transparent background wasn't enough this time and I wanted accentuate the daydreaming concept so I added a blue sky but it looked plain and boring. Then it was back to the gradient drawing board with the calming sunset which looked dandy and all but it being a sky really wasn't that apparent. Thus the clouds happened and here I am now. :meow:

Anyhoooo

I guess she misses Spyro. I don't blame her, He's one hunky dragon. ;)

I have quite a few people and things to blame for this but mostly I guess it all started with #justforfaun

So :iconrazzek: this is for you.
