Artist's commentary
[CE] A Blue Rose
My entry for the Anniverse Icon/banner contest! ❤︎It's been quite rare that I get a chance to do my painty style, as well as something non-chibi! I really enjoyed working on this.~ Personally whenever I think of Anniverse I always think of Yami's character, and I've always wanted to draw her.~I had everything planned out when I started this. I was going to animate the rose petals flowing down from the roses on her head, and possibly do a blinking animation. Everything was going well animating in CSP, but... then I learned you can't go past 24 frames on CSP pro. So, I took to Photoshop but... I had no idea what I was doing, even after many tutorials... ''OTL BUT! That is ok! I shall learn the ways of Photoshop someday..!
Regardless of that disaster, I'm still quite happy with how this turned out, and had a great time overall.~ <3 I had to go over certain spots multiple times because I'd end up getting carried away with smaller details.. ''OTL Also I tried to make the lines thicker and the colors darker than normal to try to make the contrast higher since it's supposed to be an icon.~
I hope everyone's been having a pleasant apple season! Discord Icon and Banner Contest 2020
