Description
CD Cover Event 100EXP
Total: 344,5/400EXP
Seriously I suck at designing CD Covers!! ;_;
Finally Hanabi is making her CD Debut!! *^*
Since I didn't want to be the last to turn my cover in, I decided on doing this first, before continuing with my other stuff >.< xD
It was really hard to decide on a song... >_< In the end it is "Tarte・Tatin", even though it doesn't really fit that good with her char +.+ But it's her fav song, so yeah, I had to do it!!
I didn't really have a real concept for this, but feel free to interpret as much into it as you like xD
The coord was designed by Haru-Yuuki , Thank you!! *^*
Even though at first Hanabi was really embarassed, luckily she got used to it after some time. (And yeah, I think I like putting her in clothes she's not comfortable with *^*'' xD <-- I suppose I'm mean..)
The colorful thing in the upper left corner is supposed to be her sign!! If you wonder why it's in more than one color: She uses one of these pens with multiple colors in it! XD'
Important:
For the card (yeah it's supposed to be a card xD) I simply traced through this picture:
sta.sh/0zao8g04oob
(yeah, I know I'm lazy T.T But I didn't know what kind of couple to draw..)
So I don't claim any ownership for this! But I'm not exactly sure, who the original art belongs to, since I've found it on a random website.. So I'm simply linking the real thing +.+ If anyone knows where this is from feel free to tell me.

Hi there! I'm here for the tageline with the tag lust.
I found it a bit difficult to find a deviation in your gallery that fitted the tag, but I thought this one came closest, obviously because there's a couple in it.
As for the drawing itself I really like the bright colors and the overall lay-out you used. Her outfit looks really cool and I like linework and coloring. The background with stars gives the whole CD cover a mysterious air, which is really nice.
I do feel that some items could stand out a little more. The title of the album "someday" for example, doesn't really pop and it would be nice if her hand looked like it came a little more towards you. I think both things could be solved by for example adding a little more shadow, or, in the case of the lettering, by changing the color or adding a border of a lighter color.
One final thing I was wondering about: what does it say on the card after "the"? It kind of made me curious.
All in all a very nice colorful piece that definitelly looks like it would be the cover for a great CD!
To continue the tagline: your tagword is heart and the next in line is

I fixed the number now!!
But honestly the picture is from april and I realise that now? So embarassing...

Hahaha, well, I once managed to write the name of my OCs incorrectly in one of my deviations (and I've written that name dozens of times in my story). xD So I guess getting a number wrong isn't all that bad.

Thank you for the comment! ^_^
Yeah, I thought the same when I saw the tag. I had to resist the urge to reply on the comment "Good Luck with finding something with the tag!" haha 
For the "Someday" I think it was supposed to be kind of "inivisible", but I'm not quite sure anymore. Some effect on the writing probably would have done it too. For the hand I also agree with you, it could have been solved through using some different sized lines as well and the shadows are overall very light in this picture (I always have trouble with shades T.T), so more shadows are a great idea too!
I still really like this drawing, so maybe someday(kind of matches the title haha) I'll do a version with a bit of more shading/popping out
For the thing behind the "The" it's related to the song I've drawn the cover for. (I just saw the youtube link isn't working anymore)
It's a song from an anime called "Aikatsu" named "Tarte Tatin", basically I interpreted it as love song, where a girl asks her tarot cards if her love will be successful. (Just my interpretation not sure if other people would interpret it differently)
One of the cards being mentioned in the song is "The Lovers" card, which is the sixth/VI (I just realised I accidently put XI/11 o_o such a horrible error haha) in the major arcana.So actually it's supposed to be a version of the tarot card "VI - The Lovers". At first I wanted to put a more traditional tarot card, but in the end settled for this.
I put down the card instead of a normal couple, because I like how a tarot card can be interpreted in different way. I'm not very familiar with tarot and also not very into the interpretation, so (as far as i know) it can mean the usual stuff related to love and relationships (also sexual desire or lust to come back to your tag 
For example what I stumbled over on the web:
"On a more personal level, the Lovers card represents the establishment of a personal belief system and becoming clearer about your own values. This is a time when you are figuring out what you stand for and what your personal philosophy on life is. Having gone through the indoctrination of the Hierophant, you are now ready to establish your own belief system and make up your own mind about what is and what is not important in life. This is also a time when you need to stay true to yourself and be as authentic and genuine as possible."( www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-… not sure if you would want to click on it.. I found the page on google)
So I intended the picture to be able to be interpreted in more than one way. Like "Someday I'll find a lover/boyfriend"(obvious choice), but also as "Someday I can be true to myself"(more to my character's personality related, cause she actually isn't really intrested in love, but has troubles to expressing herself properly and finding friends) or something similar. As I said I'm not very into the thematic of interpreting tarot cards but I'm sure (at least I hope so lol) there are many ways to interpret the card >.< And that's what I wanted to express with drawing the card instead of a couple only
(So much text haha, I hope you don't mind I wrote that much T.T)
Also thank you for the tag, I'll go look for some art now

I thought it might be "The Lovers" but then the XI number had me confused.

Hanabi really needs to start working on being cool ;_; But I suppose the twintails aren't helpful either xD (But since you had 2 hair thingies in your sketch, I felt like drawing them... x_x)
Don't worry about the embarassing, it's fun! xD I love the dress *^* I'll probably draw a full body performance with it someday *^* (Yeah, need to say someday, since there is way too much stuff I want to draw.. xD)

I really love her hair, too *^* (even though it was hating me today <.< xD)
It was probably a good decision to make it pink instead of black! lol (At first I wanted it to be black)

Really?I thought that as soon as someone submit their cover, immediately gets points (in a journal is wrote "Every entry is worth 100 exp" and later the Val-Krayon said, "so it's when you submit your cover, you'll get the points").
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
As far as I know they'll count everyone's points after the event is over o.o~
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ah there's a misunderstanding here, we decided to wait the end of the event because it'll be easier to give the points to everyone at the same time haha sorry I'm just a fail ;_;

It's ok and thanks on the notice.
