Looking up
This is January’s image for the 2017 Sandy Saturday calendar project.
This image was originally meant to be slightly more zoomed out with a scene of a hill and some fireworks being set off, which made the “looking up” bit make more sense. Unfortunately, the fireworks detracted too much from the picture overall – and the amount of effects I’d put on them to make them look even modestly real brought Inkscape (the program I use to draw this image) to a grinding halt. So eventually, I decided to zoom in on her face and just use that.
There’s still a simplistic version of one of the fireworks reflected in her glasses though. I guess it’ll live on because I forgot to remove it :|
