Creature Card #14 ATC Edition, Valentines Day

Happy Valentines day! 

I started the card today with a heart in honor of todays holiday. At first I made the heart into a head shape with cartoon style eyes, a neck and even a hand making the sign language sign for "I love you." It looked REALLY cheesy and I just wan't satisfied. So I erased it back down to the heart and began to break it. I made the bottom crack and shaded it. Then I started making circles. The circles gave a nice delineation between the areas but I still had to make it into some sort of creature. I decided to make the top area and almost finished the circles save the white area that became the eyes. It looked like a strange egg that seems more soft then brittle. I love making the circle patterns. Add a little shading to it and it transforms beautifully. There were naturally areas in the circles that wanted to be darker or lighter so I just went with it and this is the outcome :) 

Final bid 656 credits. This card is going to Florida.
