How absolutely awesome :3 Where do you get your inspiration from O_o

Btw! I saw you at the Elf Fantasy Fair xD just for a few seconds though. I felt like saying "Hey! Linde is looking all over for you!" but it went to quick.. x3

I found Linde after alot of phonecalling and me having no money to call with

I get my inspiration from everywhere. This wasn't inspired by something in particular.. I just started drawing randomly on the watercolor paper and this is what came out

sorry to ask but what is the use of salt?

Laiyla In reply to B2L [2007-04-23 11:35:17 +0000 UTC]

It creates the effect in the background. Salt sucks up the watercolor and that's why you see the white spots in it.
