Cold Reflections-- DECONSTRUCTION

QUICK EDIT:: Slightly bigger file. Still low-res, but a larger visual area.

First Step-by-Step.

I did this in February, for my Draw a day month titled TIME ta GO ta WORK. This breakdown was done up a few hours ago.

Of particular note, it was THIS project that helped me create my first "glow effect template." I had done glows before, but mine never felt soft, or they never felt ambient. They always felt to HARSH. I remember THIS glow--the glow on Li'l Dig-Dug's hat---being the first time I felt I took a VERY good step in the right direction. Especially since the trick was making not just a monochromatic glow, but a rainbow colored one. The idea in my head is each band of color would sequentially intensify slightly before dying down, followed by teh next color intensifying---etc. In motion, it would be like a rainbow wave as each color grew brighter than the others, and then the sequence would continually repeat.

Anyway, that was the most complicated part of this pretty simple image.

I still remember the DAY that this piece was based on, where I actually sat in the snow after one of those massive blizzards we had last year.
