Description
Uploaded a day late, because I made the mistake of checking my messages first, and got intimidated by all the art that was so much better than mine OTLI don't really like how this turned out :/ The only thing I'm satisfied about is her dress haha~ ....Usually, there's a lot of stuff in tide pools, but I got a bit lazy |D That and I wasn't sure what else is in them >>;;
So uh...Drew this, because I've been finding myself wishing I could go back to the good old days, back when I was still unaware of the real world, and everyday was filled with fun. I remember back when I used to live in North Carolina, my mum would take me to these beaches, and while everyone else was off collecting seashells/tanning etc, the main attraction for me would be the tide pools
Ahaha~ Wow, it's so full of mistakes, now that I look again. OTL OTL OTL
Lame....story prelude thing.
And categories never fail to confuse me 8B
Edit: BTW. That girl's not meant to be a 4-yo me haha she's just someone random I threw in to set the theme.
Second Edit: OH GAAAAAAAAAH. -just realized it looks horrible on some moniters- I dunno how to fix it, though ;n; B-but if you use a laptop, tilt your screen back so it's almost flat?? That seems to help. OTL
Edit THREE: (OTL) She does have an eyebrow. and even an eyelid. -should've made her hair lighter.

Wow, I'm not one to get nostalgic (EVER), but this really made me miss the good old days! It reminded me of a field trip in 1st grade that we took to Alkai Beach; we looked in the tide pools there too. 8'D

Thank you! ;o;
I used one of Photoshop's default filters, since I feel I'm too inexperienced to use an actual texture well xD

Aww this is really cute...but at the same time really sad. If I could relive my childhood again, I would! >^<
The girl looks adorable, and she has the same hair as me hehe. I love how you did the puddle too, it looks really deep as if it's another world (was that your intention?)

Same here ;n; If I could go back and revisit, I would, but I wouldn't just set life on repeat and continue an endless loop of my childhood
I dunno why, but I really like that hair style |D I plan on cutting my hair that way when it grows out long enough~
Sort of (: I wanted it to look like the water...was sort of like a barrier. Like you could see through it, but couldn't enter. But the girl could, since her feet/leg was in it I-I still suck at explanations OTL Mm...Kind of like how adults can see that a child's in their own world, but they can't enter.

Thank you!
I wanted a sort of textured look, so it's like...it's in the distance, and sort of faded around the edges, like a memory C:
