For my friend Erica (sorry I'm a bit late). Illustrator/Photoshop, thanks to Nathan (nmsmith) for his great "how to create a jewel" tutorial. Comments/questions welcome, and thanks for stopping by to look.
For something that looks simplistic (and I mean that in the kindest way), this image is far from that. The subtleties are ... well, exquisite. The detail in the hands and fingers, the reflected light of the heart in the hand and on the heart ... nice.
I like that you have managed to create some 'depth,' as well, to your piece. Both, in the artistic sense ... the purple setting and additional hearts, looks like the interior of a jewelry box ... and in the touching sentiment expressed in the words.
Thank you all who are my friends: PLEASE know that I do not expect you to comment on every work I do, and could not care less about votes. I only want you to tell me when you do like a work I do, and only need honesty. I realize we all get tight with time, so please know I do not want anyone feeling obligated to comment just coz they are on my "friend list"! Thanks!
