Otanjoubi Omedetou Vitaamin Best wishes~
So, with my life being pretty hetic right now I didn't know if I would have enough time to make something for Vitaa-chan....I knew I wanted to make an original for her, since I showed her some of my art and she really loved it.
Did a lot of sketches, but ended up choosing this one, and later made a decent drawing from it. I first started playing around in photoshop, checking if the composition would work or not. Started vectoring just to check on what kind of colors I'd use and when I noticed, I was enjoying the outcome. I first intended to outline the whole thing and just use gradients when coloring it. I ended up liking the result, with no lines. Made the mask more simple than it was in the drawing for several reasons :P Then I proceeded to add the text. That was the hard part! I suck at using it plus what kind of things would be written? I started thinking of what to write and later added them. So don't pay attention to what's written; it's all random stuff. I also forced myself to not use many colors. Red was on my mind since the very beginning.
The message of the work is by no means related to Vitaa lol I'm sure you all know I love mask simbology, if you recall my Original in Summer last year. And the girl had to have twin tails, since I love those~
I admit doing this one work was difficult at first, coming up with the idea and composition but after that it was all very fun and interesting. It reminded me of when I first started walling. I only extracted the scans and used brushes and more brushes and made abstract backgrounds. Oh that's right! The only thing I didn't make was the pattern.
I'm sure my gift will be the crappiest one of all the awesome ones you'll get :nya: Anyways, hope you enjoy it, Vitaa! ....and sorry it's not a bishie! :x

The character looks great but I'm not really feeling the background, I don't know. It seems like more elegant shapes or different colors should've been used or something. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Uwah, I love it! The colors are striking and fit so nicely together and your art is also very pretty. I like the fact that she's wearing a mask, too. Nice composition and text, as well.
It's Vitaa's B-day? Ack! Must congratulate! :O

I think the different bg version is my favorite - the red background compliments her mask :)
Anyway, lovely work and great sketch! Everything looks very nice ^^

What I love the most besides the character is the texture you made for the background, the text is actually well placed, even if you said you aren't that good at it [strike](that's because you haven't seen me lol)[/strike].

I love the text! I LOVE it when the text is more a part of the background rather than standing out on its own. It always seems to be a better...'fit' within the wallpaper :D
Love the color tones and love the concept.

This is so beautiful and elegant and I was so impressed when I saw your original sketch you have amazing talent. :P
The colors are fantastic edgy but still classy and the mask adds mystery and intrigue it makes you want to see this girls real face it draws you in, very captivating. This is elegant and stunning I think you did a stupendous job. I bet she loved it. A++ and a fav. :3
