(WARNING - PLEASE DO NOT CRITIQUE, or you will be "flamed" and blocked.)

So this is my finished Entry for the Official DA Contest > Give the Gift of Art Challenge.

ART REPRESENTATION:
This is suppose to depict a girl, who people consider sweet, innocent and cute with many artistic skills. The markings on her wings are a representation of her art skills. The closest representation of such is sometimes an angel, hence her appearance. In this piece, she is offering up her affections to someone she really likes alot. To me a heart is a precious thing, cuz it's not easy to give someone your heart. You don't know if they will break it or not o.o
...
I'm really sorry about the "cute" stuff but this entire week since last Thursday, all I seem to think about is cute characters with pink, blue and green colours... (shrugs) 0.0 And sorry if it seems kinda "Valentines Day"-ish but this was how I was currently feeling since then. Even worse on Friday for the class party...

WHO IS THIS FOR:
This is for2 people actually, who I know in real life...
> Marc Spencer, who is my close friend as of late ^.^ We've known each about a yr and a half and I have a crush on him... He's aware of it and he apparently has one on me too ^.^

> (Ex), cuz he was a sweet guy...It's just he doesn't know how to balance himself between work and spending quality time.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:

Using Adobe Illustrator CS6, I started drawing out the left hand on Saturday Night, when I saw the contest and remembered I said I would join.
On Sunday, daytime, I did this:
>Give the gift DA Contest WIP 1
>Give the gift DA Contest WIP 2

Sunday Night, I started the Colouring Process and Detailing Process in Photoshop CS6:
>Give the gift DA Contest WIP 3

Monday Morning to now in Photoshop:
> Give the gift DA Contest WIP 4
>Give the gift DA Contest WIP 5

and now you have the final piece.

The colour Scheme I used is from this which I created for fun on Rinmaru's Avatar game Saturday Night before I remembered this contest. I had liked the colours so I used it in my Photoshop Colour Blends by using the dropper tool and zoom tool to get the pixels I wanted a colour from.

>Moltres Gijinka Entry (FINAL)
