Tree Trimming Friends

As much as I like to create fan work I also like to create my own characters. The characters that I showcased here stretch from college to high school. Starting from left to write, my nameless lamb, kind of a basic girl personality. Sydney the platypus which has been on my blog before. Nameless dog, still new so she has room to grow and develop a personality. Rocko the raccoon (need to change his name because of Guardians of the Galaxy, He's a bit of a troublemaker and once had his own comic, a kind of western Prince and the Pauper. Nancy the cow is a scientist whose best friend is a flamingo (not pictured) and is roommates with unnamed cat. He is also fairly new but I like the idea of these two polar opposites that have to live together. I made this all the way back during winter vacation so sorry if it's a little out of season.

Bubbles!

I've been sort of self teaching myself Photoshop for quite a while now and texture has always been a hard one for me. One thing I've always wanted to learn was how to create bubbles. This is where I have to give credit to several helpful Pinterest posts. Creating one to look like an elephant however was simply trial, error, and a whole lot of layers. I thought it might be fun to have a Dumbo theme but most of the time on this project went into creating the bubbles. A lot of them are pretty over exaggerated in color but "clear elephants on parade" just doesn't have a good ring to it.
