Artist's Comments

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL OF THE FAVs AND VIEWS! WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
HOPEFULLY WE CAN BRING YOU MORE CHALK ART THIS SUMMER!




OMIGOODNESS!
It's finally done! XD
So, this was our summer project. And it was quite a project indeed.
Took a while for the piece to get rolling mostly due to weather conditions, lots of rain in Indiana lately. D:
Besides the point. Me, Mirixa, and Bekka had a lot of fun with this. The first day went pretty slow because is was mostly all of the line art, and we were all being pretty lazy. After working most of the day that day, we all biked down to a local icecream place and took a brake. Then afterwards went to this little waterpark place that was pretty much inhabited by kids. All of us were pretty surprised that the kids were playing around with us and getting us soaked, we thought they'd be like, ">.> Big kids...creepy big kids." LOL!
The second day went a lot faster. It felt warmer because the humidity went up due to the approaching weather, so we worked hard on the coloring. Again Bekka came over, and Mirixa was already at my house. We worked hard through the day.
But the most surprising thing of the whole project was my dad calling the paper on a neighbor's suggestion. THEY ACTUALLY SENT A REPORTER OUT!
And hey, we were in the South Bend Tribune the next day! (June 13th, 2008)
It was pretty exciting and fun. Considering it is the largest we've done! (And the most detailed... >.<;)
This was the best summer project we've ever done! (Even if it washed away the next day X3. Just a smudge now.)

Lots o' luff to :iconmirixa: :iconluneamoon: for the loads of help!
