Ding Ding Ding! tshuki found them! Bird, butterfly, tiger, snake, and deer! Thank you for playing haha!Personal project! Guess which animals are hiding in the pic!
I was really inspired by the phrase ubuntu (TED talk), which is a philosophy on "humanness". It's a really interesting way of looking at humanity and how we relate to each other, as well as to the world around us.
I guess my point is, we are capable of good, all of us. The key is to always be aware the fact that our actions have impact beyond just ourselves, and that just as we sometimes make mistakes that may result in a bad deed, it doesn't define us. Oh man, some of you might remember the EDP days, yup they're back..ish!
Thank you for all the advice/encouragement via IG/tumblr aha! I hope her smile looks more natural now..!
❀ Process GIF and 90% detail of her face
EDP and stuff!

Oh yeah! It's been my motto since I watched it- whenever I spot a few of my friends getting depressed about how they feel about being fake and stuff I always come up and say "don't worry- you'll totes b ok, just fake it 'til you become it! humans' minds are always capable of change! like water- dont worry you won't even realise when you've finally become it and feel all comfy" Amy Cuddy's a great human being

Yeah! The snake and tiger were super subtle because I couldn't find a better spot to put them haha!

It's so beautiful. I would love to write something else but I am out of words. Maybe I'll come back later and write a better comment that describes what I think, when I look at this beautiful piece of art.

Finally I have time to sit down and reflect on this painting. (Okay, I guess I have had time before but I chose to do something else instead. I hope you have forgiveness in your heart ^^)
You have, let's say, the main character in the middle. She is smiling and presumably happy. She is leaning slightly to the side and resting on someone's head. Kinda.
It's beautiful because the girl in the middle needs the one next to her. We cannot exist without support from our friends and family - well, if we had to we could, but the human is a very social mammal.
I like this, because I feel peaceful when I look at it. The colours are in harmony with each other. I don't know so much about colours and the teachings about them, but I think I can see when it matches. And it does in this painting.
She looks happy and peaceful.
And I want to give you a hug.

//HUG!

Beautiful artwork. Kind of reminds me that we're all capable of expressing love and friendship. Also, I spot the bird hiding in her hair and the butterfly on the back of the other one's hair. Actually, I've never heard of the EDP Days...What were they like?
