Hoo boy I'm finally done with this image. This was supposed to be my piece for a Valentine's Day theme but obviously there were delays.
I started this I think in the last two weeks of January (damn computer "date created" date is unreliable), and then suffered computer issues with both the hard drive and the PC before I could get it done. Fortunately the data was recoverable so I could finally work on it again and I'm glad I've gotten it done (I also got distracted a lot which delayed my working on it). Had a lot of fun "painting" this with the smudge tool and the dodge/burn tool and I'm glad it turned out like this.



But I do know a little bit. Does that mean "Hello, friend! How are you?"
