I think this is the final version. I’ll need to double-check the colors on my other computer, but it’s getting late tonight. I’ll just post it as-is. If the colors look a bit too bright, blame it on my laptop. I’ll make adjustments tomorrow if it needs it.

The font is a distorted, gradient-overlaid, embossed version of Komika Boo, by Larry Yerkes. That’s a free font I got from some free font site. I’d put a link to the author’s Myspace site, but I looked at it and, YIKES. Not linking directly to that. But feel free to put his name into Google and find him if you want. He goes by WolfBainX.

Anyhow, here’s the image:

Flower Painting

Okay, I like this, but it has some logic problems. No, I’m not talking about the logic problems inherent in an anthropomorphic flower. This is a children’s illustration. Anything can have a face and do humanish things.

What I mean is how, really, he (she?) shouldn’t be holding the canvas. It should be on an easel. And that thick brush is too thick to produce the detail shown on the canvas. And where is his paint palette?

Also, the poor thing’s pot is way too small.

So, my question is, does it matter? Am I being nitpicky, or does that actually make a difference?

Actually, it’s irrelevant. I can feel my perfectionism kicking in. I’m going to fix this, regardless of if it really needs it or not. 🙂
