my painting
It didn't come out quite as I wanted it to, I messed up the droplet shape because the brush went crazy as I was outlining, and I had to paint over the entire background to make it look okay. The black as the background actually makes it stand out a bit more, though, so I like that.First up: The painting (without flash)Second up: The painting (with flash)Third up: detail of the bottom of the droplet (aka the "town")Fourth up: detail of the middle (the trees and sunset)Fifth up: detail of the middleLastly: detail of the top (night sky)Voila. And after all this painting torture, I have the great urge to paint a sunflower.
