#moonbrooke

Since it was for October, I wanted all the pieces to have a little bit of autumn or Halloween in them, be it by obvious imagery (jack-o-lanterns) or color palette. It was going well until Moonbrooke because it's a bit difficult trying to make a snowscape surrounded by fireworks look like anything but Christmas or New Year's Eve XD

I tried to bring in some uneasiness with the reddish night sky and moon. Eh... kinda worked? Sorta. Not really.

I'm glad I was able to keep them all the same dimensions. I don't usually put that much forethought, and it truly wasn't my intention in the beginning, but I'm happy I did.

I like the progression of the story told in these scenes.

I didn't intend to make full color pieces either nor landscapes or backgrounds, but very happy that I did. Even if I didn't do it too well, heh.

I'm surprised I was able to do this the way I did? These are simultaneously loose and messier than I would attempt at something "serious" but also more refined than I thought I could do especially considering how relatively quick I made them. Only reason i didn't post things sooner or faster is because broken body would require long periods of rest. But when I did sit down to work them, it went by at a decent pace? I'm in no way saying I've mastered scapes or color or painterly styles, far from it, but I was able to do it and not cry and hate myself. Too much at least. XD

I still hate how slow I am but I do have to admit I've gotten faster. And better even if it doesn't feel like it in other regards.

I try not to be deep with symbolism but there's a little here and there. Nothing subtle. Pretty obvious actually XD
