Artist's Comments

One of these past nights I totally had a flash of inspiration, and I mean that literally.
I was just retiring for the night, already snuggling with my pillow, when a vivid image popped into my head.

I pictured this girl wearing a puffy dress that had blossoms and beaded details on it.
She was serving tea in a very green garden scenery.
I immediately got out of bed and sketched this idea before I forgot it.
You can see my concept sketch and initial pencil drawing here >>> [link] <<<

The whole color scheme is rather pastel to capture the essence of Spring time.
It was really fun using these softer color combinations.
The background is some garden photo I found among my image files.

I'm rather excited by this drawing because of the fact that it came together so easily.
Drawing in all the details, I not once had to pause and ponder about it.
The ideas just flowed naturally onto the paper.
I love it when creativity cooperates like that. :D

( ~loligoth2 is having a contest that involves creating a green lolita outfit, so I thought why not enter this, it seems to fit the whole "Green May" theme)

Thanks! I had lots of fun with the details, adding in multiple circles and swirls to give the look of embroidery and beads.

Yes indeed. :D I really wanted to capture an image of nature, hence the warm greens and pastels. Essentially she herself is like a flower blooming.
