Description Finally! It's finished!

This is my contest entry for
We were supposed to just have a picture of Meloetta in any Fall/Autumn based scenario.

So, I've been working on this for a while now, and finally managed to finish it the past few days.
For those who are waiting on the Ask Meloetta pictures, I'm getting to them!

My next few pictures might be related to a Creepypasta I've been thinking about creating.

Hi, awesome! may u tell us how u did this? I'd like to paint like that someday, thanks

The9Tard In reply to AndresRondon [2013-04-17 06:14:57 +0000 UTC]

Well, I did this in Gimp to be honest.

I had to make separate layers for each part of her then use certain shading on those layers, then peice it together to make it all blend. Then add the background, color the leaves, and tint the light to make it look more 'orangish'

That's the short version, at least. XD

Hi, may u tell me how to do this step? "then piece it together to make it all blend" how is it? thanks

The9Tard In reply to AndresRondon [2013-05-06 10:54:54 +0000 UTC]

What I mean is use the smudge tool on certain layers to make it blend with the colors, or however you want really.

Thank you so much!
Ever since I was a child, I loved the smell and look of evenings in fall, sipping some apple cider with cinnamon sticks in the mug. The colors and feel is what I was going for here.
Just the charms of childhood.
