Art

Done! :D He actually didn't take as much time as I though the would to finish. The leaves were kind of added in as an afterthought, and I'm not sure I like them too much, but it needed something in the foreground and I couldn't think of anything else to put there. *deep breath* Despite my deep hatred of this particular shade of purple, I still had fun with this piece, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Expect to see me prodding around with some more fan art in the future.

Total Time: 2 Hours
Tools: Photoshop, Tablet
Finished?: Yes :D

Rambling
This apartment complex kills me.

It's, like, November, right? Freezing cold outside, the grass is no longer growing, there's still a couple of leaves falling off of the trees now and then. 8 am this morning, they had the grounds crew outside, sweeping up leaves. Not only were they sweeping them off the ground, they were also sweeping them off of the roof. With their giant power sweepers. This would be okay, except for the fact that they just did this not a week ago, and there are hardly even any new leaves on the ground, because they have all fallen off of the trees already.

As soon as it starts snowing, as it is every year, all of these grounds workers will vanish, like the flowers, underneath the snow. Not a single one of them will be anywhere to be found as the snow piles up outside of people's apartments, making it impossible to walk to their cars without a grappling hook and mountain climbing gear. The road will not be plowed until somewhere around mid-February, after the cars have already crunched the snow down into its own little snow-road anyway.

However, if one single leaf should fall off of a tree, seventeen workers will appear out of nowhere and descend upon it instantly, all with their giant noisy leaf blowers,to make sure it doesn't sully the look of the apartment complex.

Sigh.
