Description BL∞M

A gift for roadkillboy with his oc Marigold!
She's very cute I just wish I got the fluffiness of her hair right 

You guys may not know but I love flowers. I just don't draw them because they're very complicated. I'm sucking it up though.
I looked into the meaning of marigolds. I kind of just like research like that. 
Anyways I went to www.flowermeaning.com/ and they're inventory of flowers knowledge is amazing so I'll be using it in the future
The bullets are ripped straight from their website. 
  • Despair and grief over the loss of love
  • The beauty and warmth of the rising sun
  • Winning the affections of someone through hard work
  • Creativity and the drive to succeed
  • Desire for wealth
  • Cruelty and coldness due to jealousy
  • Sacred offerings to the Gods
  • Remembering and celebrating the dead
  • Promoting cheer and good relations in a relationship
I TRIED to focus of the good things lol 

The two flowers in the background are chrysanthemums. I think they pair with marigolds really well and help convey the overall message of the drawing
  • Lasting friendship and non-romantic affection
  • Support from your family and loved ones
  • Cheerfulness and good spirits, including cheering up a sad person
  • Rest and recovery after a long trial or challenge
  • Enduring life and rebirth, especially the birth of a child
  • Loyalty and devotion, both romantic and platonic

oh gosh dude...

it's taken me a few hours to really, try to formulate a response to this since this is.. definitely one of the most beautiful gifts i've ever received in my life.

the way you interpreted my character is jaw dropping and totally stunning, this has so much fine detail and beautiful colors too, you captured the essence of the flowers flawlessly!!

even after thinking about it i don't really have an adequate response but like. when i saw this i literally gasped and couldn't stop looking at it for like an hour.

you're so sweet to do this for me and i really wanna compensate you for this since, it's totally above and beyond and i'd love to do something for you in return

Oh man I'm just glad you liked it honestly!!
You're very sweet yourself and I had fun drawing this. I appreciate just how sincere your response was!

I don't want you to pay or anything since I really wanted to do this for free but if you feel you want to compensate me somehow you can just doodle one of my dumb ocs

I have a small favorites folder named "my ocs" with stuff other people have drawn for me. If you wanna do that I could also link u to some I did. (I on my phone rn)
