Flower Illustration
Uh... it's a flower illustration. Done in Photoshop with the pen tool because I was bored. I dunno. Thirty minutes worth of work but I like it a lot. I plan to make a set of simple wallpapers from it. They should be up within the week on Echoia, maybe by tonight if anyone's interested.

Wallpapers now up.

Interestingly enough, I've never seen this. I really like your flower illustrations, because they're unlike any I've ever seen.

I'm using this as my wallpaper now :)

Thank you ; ) It wasn't actually inspired by anything or anyone. I was just goofing around, made a 'petal', made another, decided to make a flower *heh*. I dunno why I was sitting there making petals and not intending to make a flower but I guess it worked out.

are you talking about this flower? it's nice, i like the way the flower's got several different colors. if you're open to suggestions, though... the gradients take away from the flower because it's so simple.
Reply from
Mm, yes. Thank you : ) I actually think the gradients were taking away from the flower because of the way they were sticking up, which they weren't supposed to :x I fixed that in some of the wallpapers but I mostly can't be bothered to fix something once it's done.

echo it's uber awesome XP I love it a lot i try to make vexels like this.. and always ALWAYS fail.

btwm, it's my desktop XD

Thank you, Amanda. What is it that they say... the only time you fail is the first time you quit? ; ) I, for lack of better phrasing, suck at things like this. There are a few things on it I think I'm actually going to change but overall I'm happy with it. I was bored and didn't feel like doing a trace vector so I gave a new illustration a shot. I might've found a key part of making them (at least for me)- don't worry too much about if it looks real! : )

beeeeautiful, miss echo !! i are jealous of your skills without the use of photo kinda skills.

Thank you thank you! : ) heh. I usually suck at illustrating... I decided on this one, 'I dont' care if it looks like any kind of flower in particular, I'm just gonna make a flower vexel' and I really was happy with it because it's not like... you can't compare it to something and go, 'Oh she didn't make it right, it doesn't look like a rose at all' or anything. It's better for the self-esteem this way ; )

I'm loving it! It's not that easy doing something off the top of your head, you did a nice job of it. But...where's the crown I grew so found of...oh where did she go? ***tears*** :(
Edit-------------------------------------------------
Oh I just seen it, you need a lighter color for it to be more noticeable to your subjects haha!!!! please forgive this peasant's stupidity. :) *Happy!*
Reply from
My crown is there my crown is there in my avatar! : ) it's at the bottom. I want to make it more noticeable but I need to use the desktop and with my brother staying here it's a big pain to use the desktop *grr*. I wanna add pixel font text to it, too.

Such nice colors and I love the simplicity of it. It makes me feel nice and summery in a good way because today is so stinking hot.
Reply from
Thank you so much, Linda. This whole thing started with, 'I need to use really striking but complimentary colors to make something... .' It feels wonderful to accomplish it ; )
