Creature Card #4 Watercolor Edition "Hope"

Final bid 1010 credits. This card is the first going to Nevada, at least I think it is ;)
This card is called "Hope." Hope is not the name but the actual entity. This is an embodied emotion. Hope just keeps us going when nothing else seems to work and sometimes, miracles happen.

Today I was working on a commission card prior to making the day's card. I drew out the card layout in pencil, inked it in and watercolored it. When I started working on the card for today's posting I did a background color like before and didn't like it. So I switched to the pencil ink watercolor like I'd done earlier in the day. I can make the lines in ink better than in paint thanks to spending all of last month practicing :) After that I can add the paint with more purpose. Watercolors work best when planned. Ink seems a bit heavy handed for watercolor. I would really like to make one that didn't need the outlines. Perhaps tomorrow I will try that. I tried putting eyes on this creature but it kept telling me it was more of a single celled organism. Something fluid and changing in a living sort of way. We will see how it is received. 

Today my mom came over to do special eggs with Ash. After Ash went to school I took some pictures with my mom for various purposes. One was of myself for use in a fairy picture. When I get it back from the artist I will post it for you to see.
