Artist's Comments

Final installment of the Friendship Series, not to say I may not add to it later down the line....but for now, this is all I intend to do. Download for full view.

Yes, That's me. YES, a photo of that pose exists: [link] As you can see....I neither trimmed nor fattened myself up (although my poor self esteem admits the trimming/slimming was tempting). This was my weak attempt at 30's style pin-up, taken by an old friend Gerry. At the time I was debating getting a bing cherry tattoo on me bum, and I was about 30 pounds lighter than now. It didn't happen...although I still debate at times. Maybe when I slim down again. :paranoid:

It's rather busy...and the pallet is much darker. None of this was intentional, it just sort of happened so in that respect it stands apart from the others. In another respect as well, since I did not vexel every last damn thing. Those little film images would have been a b*tch....and I'm lazy. So....I did *most* of it. :p

Bonus points to anyone who can name my director. :D

Of course, done for: :iconmelara: :iconkaterina423: :iconjumpingbean: :icontwilights-maiden: :heart:

Is that Chaplin (from the Great Dictator?)

I absolutely love this :heart: I love the darker pallet and how busy it is - you look beautiful (and thanks for the story on the cherries, you know I was going to ask ;) )

You're the big winner!! Yes, that is Chaplin from The Great Dictator. It's a little obscured because I left his Hitler stache off to avoid any ridiculous remarks about me having a Nazi in my picture. :P

I'm so glad you like it doll! :heart:

That's a really great end to the series. I love it! You look very glamerous. I approve the hair colour and the cherries!

Sweet! Thank you, thank you!

I did originally try to do more of a honey-red as it is in the photo but the colors clashed something terrible...so I went with Siren red, it felt appropriate. :D

I still don't know how you didn't break an ankle on those insane heels :)

LOOOOOOVVVEEEE it!!!

I still have them too. They are actually a deeper red with a black marbling. Not sure if you can tell really in the photo. They are a good 4" I think, but the heel is pretty chunky so they're pretty stable. I'm just so not-sexy in the way I dress and I don't ever go out anywhere anymore so...they pretty much just sit in my closet whispering quiet whines of "Rissa, come play with us".... :paranoid:

I never was one of the "cool kids" that dressed funky everyday and had a "style". I don't think I have style let alone "A STYLE". ROFL I mean, you know how I dress....I'd sooner pass as a JCPenny model than a cool kid, so, those heels are more of a costume piece anymore than anything else. :p

Yey! I like when you post art. You are very creative. I like it. What font did you use? I'm becomes obsessed with Typography. I am still learning how to tell which exact typeface (font) is used in a Design. I know style or categories but ask me the difference between Arial and Helvetica and I'll run away screaming.

The block in the middle with the blue green gradient, could have probably went from side to side or started on the edge of left side and stopped where you have it on the right. For some reason the left side looks chopped or something, but still a good job.
