Looks like something sweet, or fruity :lick: Either way I wanted this to to be one inviting sunset scene and I quite loved the colour combination for this year's one. This is the seventh annual artwork I've made of this kind, all part of my yearly birthday submissions and I managed to still be on time again. Talk about punctuality (or not having a life :paranoid:) It was hard to think of a title, so I took one from a song I currently like which fits the mood perfectly 8-)

Created with Vue and Photoshop as I often do. I originally had a very purple colour scheme in mind for this with only trace amounts of blue and pink involved. It looked pretty cool but then after some radical changes and experimentation with the colours I ended up with this which was very different yet more fitting to the bright, warm sunset mood I wanted. I also wanted somewhat a minimalistic approach which I tend to prefer for island type scenery relax:

The coloring of this is beautiful. I'm sure you've got a lot of comments saying that though.

This picture reminds me of Plastic Beach. A lot. It makes me love it even more than I already do.

Thanks! Yes a lot of people like the colours. I even surprised myself with this combination. It was kinda a fortunate result of an experiment :D

I think someone mentioned Plastic Beach...but I forget what it is :slow:

Ha. Auto-surprising. Always nice when that happens.

Plastic Beach was... well, kinda hard to explain. The fictional band Gorillaz either lived there for a while, or still do. I probably think of it when seeing this picture because Plastic Beach is (supposed to be) bright pink and of course the water.

I'm kind of a newbie still, which I think is obvious, and I don't know how to link things, so I'm just gonna put down the URL of a picture of Plastic Beach and hope it links or something. e.e

I was looking at some other pictures from you, my god. o.o The small details put into them is amazing.

Oh yeah, I'm sorta familiar with the Gorillaz...their early 00's work anyway ^^; That picture is new to me though, but it looks like an awesome place to live :D

x3 Kinda. On Gorillaz' official site there's an interactive game where you're on the island, basically it's just a ton of garbage that's collected throughout time or something. So it's essentially a dump that they painted and take residency. I might know more about this than I should. xp

The three of those together might not be such a tasty mix :O But on their own - nice :)
